Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRETRACTED: Analysis of Interfering Substances in the Measurement of Malondialdehyde Content in Plant LeavesYunSheng Wang, MaoDi Ding, XunGang Gu et al.The Thiobarbituric Acid (TBA) reactive substances assay is an easy and quick assay for the assessment in plants of lipid peroxidation, in which Malondialdehyde (MDA) is derivatized. To analyze the applicability of this method, the MDA concentrations in the leaves of different plants were measured by the TBA method. To further separate the interfering substances, fractional extraction and Gas Chromatography-Mass … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 9,293 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuantum Standpoint for a More Understandable UniverseSebastiano TostoThe study implements the concept of space-time quantum uncertainty to outline a possible model of universe. Simple considerations show that the relativistic equations inferred as a consequence of the uncertainty allow describing effects typically expected in the frame of quantum phenomena, e.g., the fluctuations. These results contribute to clarify issues today still open, like the dark energy, the inflationary expansion … …Space Science International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 20 Jun 2013 · 7,118 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEcological Monitoring of Danube water Quality in Budapest RegionHosam E.A.F. Bayoumi Hamuda, Istvan PatkoProblem statement: Serious health problems and other economic costs related to water treatment, remediation and locating a new water supply, become an evidence of water pollution caused by human activities. The main problems of the Danube River basin are associated with nutrients, organic pollution and hazardous pollutants. The aim of the study is to assess the surface water of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 5 Apr 2012 · 9,033 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Host Plant Species and Flush Growth Stage on the Asian Citrus Psyllid, Diaphorina citri KuwayamaStephen Leong Chan Teck, Abang Fatimah, Andrew Beattie et al.Problem statement: In order to establish the important host range of D. citri, the performance of this psyllid on different rutacous host plants was assessed. Apparent regional differences in host preferences of D. citri as noted above and the need for empirical knowledge of its host preferences in Malaysia where it is lacking. Approach: Experiments on host plant preference between … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 27 Dec 2011 · 10,052 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Modeling of Drying Characteristics of Chilies in a Rotating Fluidized Bed TechniqueKittichai Triratanasirichai, Watcharin Dongbang, Worachest PirompugdProblem statements: The present study investigates experimentally the thin layer drying of chilies in the Rotating Fluidized Bed (RFB) technique and its mathematical modeling. Approach: The layer’s height was fixed at 4±0.5 cm. In addition, the drying air velocity and the centrifugal acceleration ratio were fixed at 2 m sec-1 and G = 2.5 (106 rpm), respectively. With 6 data … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 20 Aug 2011 · 6,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Optical Reflectometry to Observe Various Concentrations of GlucoseHariyadi SoetedjoProblem statement: Monitoring technique on glucose is a hot topic as this compound has been considered to be important in human healthties. Optical reflectometry has been used to study various concentrations of glucose dissolved in the water. Approach: The self-construction of reflectometer used was of hemi-cylinder aluminum to allow light beam strikes the sample at 70° for sor p-polarization state. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 7,148 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreasing the Reliability of Fuzzy Inference System-Based Skin DetectorAlaa Y. Taqa, Hamid A. JalabProblem statement: Skin detection is a common primitive for many human-related image processing applications, such as video surveillance, naked image filters and face detection. Skin color is considered as a useful and discriminating spatial feature for many applications, but it is not robust enough to deal with complex image environments. Skin tones range from dark (some Africans) to light white … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,143 accessesView PDFCite
