Jaffar Al Mulla, Nor Azowa Bt IbrahimProblem statement: Sodium Montmorillonite (Na-MMT) has been modified via cation exchange reaction using Fatty Hydroxamic Acids (FHAs) synthesized from palm oil as a surfactant to produce organoclay which is used to prepare polymer nanocomposites. Approach: Basal spacing, functional groups identification and thermal stability of this Organo-Montmorillonite (OMMT) were characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Thermogravimetric … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 9,310 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffective Ventilation Parameters and Thermal Comfort Study of Air-conditioned OfficesRoonak Daghigh, Kamaruzzaman SopianThe study presents objective and subjective studies of thermal comfort levels and ventilation characteristics of two air-conditioned postgraduate study offices. The observations were performed at the offices of Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, in University Putra Malaysia. Thermal comfort variables were measured while the students answered a survey on their sensation of the indoor climate. Concurrently, tracer gas analysis, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,590 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of an Axisymmetric Thermal Plume between Vertical PlatesJamil Zinoubi, Adel Gammoudi, Taoufik Naffouti et al.This investigation analyses the turbulent structure of a thermal plume created by a heated disk, evolving between vertical plates. The objective of the study was to understand the development mechanisms of this buoyancy driven flow. The analysis of the average and the fluctuating fields of the temperature as well as the flow visualisation show the existence of three different zones. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,041 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovement of the Vertical Dispersion of Pollutants Resulting From Chimneys by Thermosiphon EffectA. O.M. Mahmoud, J. Zinoubi, R. B. Maad, A. BelghithThe dispersion of pollutants, resulting from industrial chimneys, in the surrounding atmosphere made the interest in realizing emitting conditions appears. It also encourages the vertical dispersion of these pollutants. At a given wind velocity, the height of this dispersion is essentially a function of the thermal power and the flow rate at the chimney exit. To improve these qualities, we … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,411 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreparation and Characterization of Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Composite Material: Polymerization of m-Aminobenzoic Acid-Intercalated Into Zn/Al-Layered Double HydroxidesRasheed M.A.Q. JamhourLayered double hydroxides of aluminum and zinc (Zn/Al-LDH’s) were synthesized directly by hydrolysis at room temperature as reported elsewhere. After characterization, the material was reacted with m-aminobenzoat anion (m-NH2C6H4COO-) which undergoes polymerization in the interlayer space; resulting in the formation of a matrix with polymeric organic macromolecule. The resulting material along with the host LDH’s compound of Zn/Al-Cl was characterized … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,588 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElderly People Fall Detection System Using Skeleton Tracking and RecognitionD. Bansal, Abeer Alsadoon, P.W.C. Prasad et al.The fall detection systems use a variety of technologies like sensors, wearable devices, color camera, thermal camera etc. With the use of Microsoft Kinect camera for non-gaming purposes, depth images have started being utilized for fall detection. Various authors have made an attempt at using Kinect for fall detection in combination with a variety of techniques like ellipse analysis, bounding … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 9 · 7 Nov 2018 · 8,215 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDurian Husk Properties and its Heating Value EquationPatomsok WilaiponProblem statement: Agricultural residue seems to be one of the most promising energy resources for developing countries. Among the other fruits, durian is a popular one for Thai people. Therefore, a large amount of durian husk is left at the shops or factories. This study was aimed to investigate the characteristics and heating value of durian husk and to develop … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 1 Aug 2011 · 7,865 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComposition Dependent Structural and Thermal Properties of SM2O3 Doped Zinc Fluoroborate GlassesSudha D. Kamath, Akshatha Wagh, M.P. AjithkumarGlasses based on Sm3+ doped zinc fluoroborate have been synthesized and characterized. Formation of glass has been investigated in the 30 ZnF2-20 TeO2-(50-x) B2O3-x Sm2O3 matrix. Fast quenching is required to prevent melt crystallization and adequate heat treatment to diminish thermal stress, which results in an efficient amorphous material. The Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 15 Jul 2014 · 7,246 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDESIGN OF CANDIDA ANTARCTICA LIPASE B THERMOSTABILITY IMPROVEMENT BY INTRODUCING EXTRA DISULFIDE BOND INTO THE ENZYMEUsman Sumo Friend Tambunan, Ahmad Randy, Arli Aditya ParikesitCandida Antarctica Lipase B (CALB) is extensively studied in enzymatic production of biodiesel, pharmaceutical products, detergents and other chemicals. One drawback of using CALB is its relatively low optimum temperature at 313 K (40°C). The objective of this research is to design CALB mutant with improved thermostability by introducing extra disulfide bond. Molecular dynamic simulation was conducted to get better … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2014 · 9,495 accessesView PDFCite
