Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiosorption of Cr(III) by Microalgae and Macroalgae: Equilibrium of the ProcessIzabela Michalak, Agnieszka Zielinska, Katarzyna Chojnacka, Jan MatulaEquilibrium experiments of chromium(III) biosorption by microalga (Spirulina sp.) and macroalga (Pithophora varia) were investigated in this paper. Influence of the following process parameters was studied: pH, biomass concentration and temperature. The equilibrium of the process was described with Langmuir equation. The model parameters were determined at various process conditions. The best operation conditions for the process were selected: pH … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving the Quality of Service Guarantee in an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) NetworkFrancis Joseph Ogwu, Mohammad Talib, Ganiyu Adesola AderounmuThis study presents a technique for improving the quality of service (QoS ) guarantee in an ATM network. In the proposed model, it was assumed that high priority traffic have been allocated a switch resource to guarantee a given QoS and low priority cells are allowed to enter the buffer, to improve the exploitation of reserved resources. The proposed technique … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 6,408 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractANN Based DSPIC Controller for Reactive Power CompensationR.A. Jayabarathi, N.B. DevarajanIn India with a power shortage of about 10% of installed capacity, the transmission and distribution losses are relatively high. One of the reasons for the large loss is the excessive reactive loads on the primary distribution feeder. With the right amount of reactive power compensation, as system load varies, line losses can be considerably reduced. The application of Artificial … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,852 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCurcuma longa, Glycyrrhiza glabra and Moringa oleifera Ameliorate Diclofenac-induced Hepatoxicity in RatsAlaaeldin A. HamzaAlthough treatment with therapeutic agents may be one of the main causes of liver toxicity, there have been only limited attempts at thorough research efforts to seek solution. Diclofenac (DIC) is a widely used anti-inflammatory drug that causes liver toxicity. This DIC-induced hepatotoxicity was found to be associated with oxidative damage. In this report, extracts of herbal plants that are … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 9,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction and Identification of Water-Soluble Compounds in Palm-Pressed Fiber by SC-CO2 and GC-MSHarrison Lau Lik Nang, Choo Yuen May, Ma Ah Ngan, Chuah Cheng HockThe residual oil recovered from palm-pressed fiber is known to contain high level of carotenes (4,000 mg kgˉ1 to 6,000 mg kgˉ1) and vitamin E such as tocopherols and tocotrienols (2,000 mg kgˉ1 to 3,000 mg kgˉ1). In this study, the water-soluble compounds in fresh palm-pressed fiber were recovered by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction. The concentration of these compounds … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,326 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential of Agarose for Biosorption of Cu(II) In Aqueous SystemAnurag Pandey, Debabrata Bera, Anupam Shukla, Lalitagauri RayThe ability of agarose gel as an adsorbent for Cu(II) ions in aqueous solution was studied. The experiments were done as batch processes. Batch kinetics and isotherm studies were carried out under varying experimental conditions of contact time, Cu(II) ion concentration, adsorbent dose, temperature and pH. Adsorption equilibrium of agarose gel was reached within 4 h for agarose gel when … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,833 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Exact Algorithm for the Unbounded Knapsack Problem with Minimizing Maximum Processing TimeChanin Srisuwannapa, Peerayuth CharnsethikulWe address a variant of the unbounded knapsack problem (UKP) into which the processing time of each item is also put and considered, referred as MMPTUKP. The MMPTUKP is a decision problem of allocating amount of n items, such that the maximum processing time of the selected items is minimized and the total profit is gained as at least as … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,597 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParallelisation of Algorithms of Mathematical MorphologyAbdallah Boukerram, Samira A.K. AzzouThe tools of mathematical morphology developed within the framework of the image processing, require of big capacity of data and the very high costs of execution. So today, the limits of the sequential machines are not to be any more to show, the passage in the new parallel machines of type Simd, Mimd, clusters or grids is imperative. This paper … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,239 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuropsychological Complications of HIV Disease and Substances of AbuseLisa R. Norman, Anil KumarIn the last decade, it has become increasingly apparent that neuropsychological deficits and impairments are associated with HIV infection. Given that antiretroviral therapies have extended the life expectancy of HIV-infected persons, it becomes critical to focus on the physical and mental health of these patients. Understanding the neuropsychology of HIV disease can provide insight into improving mental health, functional capacity … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,404 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFunctional Characterization of Neutrophils from Nine-Banded Armadillos (Dasypus novemcicntus; Edentata, Dasypodidae) Infected with MicrofilariaeMarcela López-Hurtado, Fernando M. Guerra-InfanteThe neutrophils from uninfected armadillos have adequate phagocytic and bacteriocidal activity, but diminished chemotactic activity. However, endocytic activity from armadillo neutrophils infected with bacteria, parasites or viruses is unknown. This report shows that neutrophils from armadillos infected with microfilariae displayed deficiencies in their bacteriocidal mechanisms and TNF-like production, but not in their endocytic capacity. …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,662 accessesView PDFCite
