Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSurface Modification of Polystyrene Beads by Ultraviolet/Ozone Treatment and its Effect on Gelatin CoatingA. N. Yusilawati, M. Maizirwan, M. S. Hamzah et al.Problem statement: Polystyrene failed to provide any reactive functionality of surface hydrophilicity that is capable of binding proteins. It is known that polystyrene must be chemically modified to make its surface amenable to covalent crosslinking with protein. Approach: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of UV/ozone treatment on gelatin coating. The surfaces of microsize polystyrene beads … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,852 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpiral Wound Reverse Osmosis Membranes for the Recovery of Phenol Compounds-Experimental and Parameter Estimation StudiesG. Srinivasan, S. Sundaramoorthy, D.V.R. MurthyProblem statement: Reverse osmosis is increasingly used as a separation technique in chemical and environmental engineering for the removal of organics and organic pollutants present in waste water. The removal of an organic compound, namely phenol, using a polyamide membrane was investigated in this study. Waste water containing phenol present a serious environmental problem and increasing attention is being given … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,310 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Mixing Urea with Humic Acid and Acid Sulphate Soil on Ammonia Loss, Exchangeable Ammonium and Available NitrateMohd Taufik Mohd Yusuff, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab MajidProblem statement: Ammonia loss due to rapid hydrolysis of urea in soil following surface application can be substantial. Ammonia loss in agriculture is estimated to be 1 to 60%. This laboratory study compared the effect of three different urea-humic acid-acid sulphate soil mixtures on NH3 loss and soil ammonium and nitrate contents, with loss from surface applied urea without additives … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 8,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of RNA-DNA Duplex Base Triplets to Antisense DrugsJie Yang, Yao Leng, Ju BaoSixty-four sets of three-dimensional models of RNA-DNA duplex base triplets were constructed based on codons by homology modeling method using software InsightII on Indigo workstation, which should be helpful for the study of RNA-DNA annealing, the basis of nucleic acids interactions and some peculiar motifs for design antisense oligonucleotides. Our research result reveal that the energies (such as E, Ec, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,534 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffectiveness of Agricultural Extension ActivitiesAli AL-Sharafat, Mohammad Altarawneh, Ebraheem AltahatProblem statement: Jordan’s agricultural extension service is seriously under-staffed and its effectiveness is consequently compromised. Reservations are being expressed about the performance and capability of the agricultural extension system in Jordan. The performance of this sector has been disappointing and has failed to transfer agricultural technology to the farmers. The main objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 5 Apr 2012 · 9,475 accessesView PDFCite
