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 · 9,304 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPresence of Arsenic in Commercial BeveragesJason Roberge, Andrew T. Abalos, Julia M. Skinner et al.Problem statement: This study’s goal was to assess the arsenic concentration of various beverages and broths purchased from a local chain supermarket. A source of chronic arsenic exposure occurs via food and beverage consumption. Groundwater levels of total arsenic are regulated (<10 μg L-1) by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) but few studies have examined arsenic concentrations in common beverages. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,348 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCarbon Dioxide Transfer with Chemical Equilibrium Reactions: An Alternative Mathematical ApproachA. ShanablehProblem statement: Despite intensive research efforts on CO2 transfer, mathematical models that describe the dependence of the CO2 transfer rate on the pH and the degree of rate enhancement due to CO2 chemical reactions remain unavailable. Approach: Such models are essential for assessing and accurately describing the progress of the CO2 transfer process. Results: In this study, an alternative view … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,040 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndications of Potential Toxic/Mutagenic Effects of World Trade Center Dust on Human Lung Cell CulturesConstantino G. Lambroussis, Barbara D. Soares, Sergio Perez et al.Problem statement: Respiratory complications have been linked with exposure to dust particulates after the tragedy of September 11th, 2001 at the World Trade Center (WTC) site. Approach: The purpose of these experiments was to investigate the extent of cellular damage resulting from WTC dust exposure. Results: This research project was conducted with human lung fibroblast cells exposed to WTC dust. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,394 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Computer Simulation Model for Automated Quantification of Luteinizing Hormone SecretionAyman Al-Nsour, Hamza A. Ali, Buthynna Al-Dulaimi, Wisam H. Al-SewadiProblem statement: An automated software package is developed for quantifying Luteinizing Hormone (LH) release from pituitary gonadotropes in response to short pulses of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH). Approach: These computer programs were designed to accommodate the release mechanism that consists of three stages, namely; (1) Production of different concentrations of effectors (such as receptor-hormone binds, G protein interactions, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate IP3), … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,938 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeavy Metals and Anion Levels in Some Samples of Vegetable Grown Within the Vicinity of Challawa Industrial Area, Kano State, NigeriaJ. C. Akan, F. I.A. Abdulrahman, V. O. Ogugbuaja, J. T. AyodeleProblem section: Effluents from the surrounding industries such as tannery and textile are used by vegetable farmers for the irrigation of their crops. These effluents may contain some toxic metals which bioaccumulate along the food chain. Moreover the uptake of such toxic metals by crops is governed by their availability and concentration in the soil. Therefore such crops may accumulate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,270 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Exposure to Various Durations of Light on Serum Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I in Prepubertal Holstein HeifersL.J. Spicer, B.A. Buchanan, L.T. Chapin, H.A. TuckerOur objective was to determine if prolonged exposure to various durations of light (i.e., photoperiod) would affect serum IGF-I concentrations in heifers. Thus, 16 Holstein heifers, 2 to 4 mo of age, were exposed during a 5-wk pretreatment period to 12 h of cool-white fluorescent light (L) at an intensity of 1200 lux and 12 h of dark (D). At … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Dec 2007 · 6,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Crosslinker and Monomer to the Polymerization of Polymethacrylamide Gel Dosimeters by Direct and Indirect MethodsElias Saion, A. H. Shaari, M. Z.A. Rahman et al.Radiation-induced polymerization in Polymethacrylamide Gels (PMAAGs) potentially used for 3D dose verification in radiotherapy has been studied using both Raman spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) method. The dosimeters are composed of aqueous Methacrylamide (MAA) monomer and N, N’ methyelene-bis-acrylamide (BIS) crosslinker at various concentrations from 2 to 6% (w/w) and gelatin at 6% (w/w). The dosimeters were irradiated to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 7,168 accessesView PDFCite
