Daci et al.Problem statement: The study described the research of the effects that the environment pollution and smoking have in cadmium concentration in human blood, as well as in the correlation between cadmium and the biochemical parameters. Approach: In a comparative study of cadmium concentration in blood of human population of two different environments in Kosovo, one nearby Kosovo Thermo Power Plants … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 28,204 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSulfur Recovery from Acid Gas Using the Claus Process and High Temperature Air Combustion (HiTAC) TechnologyMohamed Sassi, Ashwani K. GuptaSulfur-bearing compounds are very detrimental to the environment and to industrial process equipment. They are often obtained or formed as a by-product of separation and thermal processing of fuels containing sulfur, such as coal, crude oil and natural gas. The two sulfur compounds, which need special attention, are: hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and sulfur dioxide (SO2). H2S is a highly corrosive … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 17,613 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Pulverised Fly Ash (PFA) as an Ameliorant of Lead Contaminated SoilsEdmond Gatima, Mwinyikione Mwinyihija, Ken KillhamFly Ash (FA) is obtained by electrostatic or mechanical precipitation of dust-like particles from the flue gases of furnace fired with coal or lignite at 1100 to 1400°C. About 95-99% of Fly Ash consists of oxides of Si, Al, Fe and Ca, about 0.5 to 3.5% consists of Na, P, K and S and the remainder is composed of trace … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,017 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractFeline Dermatophytic Pseudomycetoma (Microsporum canis) Infection with Actinobactoer ursingii in a British Shorthair Cat: A Case Report in ThailandRatchanon Kusolsongkhrokul, Natapol PumipuntuDermatophytic pseudomycetoma is a rare, invasive fungal infection characterized by deep dermal and subcutaneous involvement of dermatophytes, uncommonly reported in cats. A 10-month-old, 2.8 kg, sexually intact female British Shorthair cat presented to a veterinary clinic with multiple abscessed nodules on the body, legs, and tail. Lesions contained yellow purulent discharge with granular material resembling fungal grains. Hematological and biochemical … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 18 Feb 2026 · 2,373 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNASA has Found the Most Distant Black HoleRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuScientists have uncovered a rare relic from the early universe: the farthest known supermassive black hole. This matter-eating beast is 800 million times the mass of our Sun, which is astonishingly large for its young age. Researchers report the find in the journal Nature. "This black hole grew far larger than we expected in only 690 million years after the … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2018 · 7,298 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLiquid Crystalline Polymers Compatibilization and Adhesion Enhancement by Reactive Blending in Post-Consumers PET’sAversa Raffaella, Apicella AntonioA method for PET mechanical properties enhancement by reactive blending with HBA/HNA Liquid Crystalline Polymers for in situ highly fibrillar composites preparation is presented. LCP/PET blends were reactive extruded in presence of Pyromellitic Di-Anhydride (PMDA) and then characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Thermally Stimulated Currents and tensile mechanical properties. The formation of specific macromolecular structures, where the PET, the LCP … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 17 Jun 2016 · 8,192 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe First Report of the Occurrence of Anthracnose Disease Caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz. & Sacc. on Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus spp.) in Peninsular MalaysiaMasanto Masyahit, Kamaruzaman Sijam, Yahya Awang, Mohd Ghazali Mohd SatarProblem statement: The increasing of dragon fruit (Hylocereus spp.) plantations in Malaysia enhances the researches on this crop, particularly focusing on its physico-chemical characteristics, great potential health benefits and nutritional value. However, its scientific report of disease is still lacking, primarily on anthracnose disease. This study was then conducted to investigate the distribution of anthracnose disease on dragon fruit and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 11,833 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling of Oxygen Transfer Correlations for Stirred Tank Bioreactor Agitated with Atypical Helical Ribbon ImpellerMohd Shamzi Mohamed, Rosfarizan Mohamad, Ramakrishnan Nagasundara Ramanan et al.Problem Statement: Mixing filamentous fungi entails delicate balance between promoting high volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (kLa) while keeping low hydrodynamic stresses in the microenvironment of cultures. This study examined the oxygen transfer capability of a prototype low shear helical impeller as a potential replacement for the standard Rushton turbine. Approach: The dependence of kLa upon specific power uptake, superficial gas … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 9,169 accessesView PDFCite
