Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Activated Carbon from Eggshell Membranes Prepared Using Sodium Acetate and Zinc Metal ActivationSumrit Mopoung, Kanjana JitchaijaroenkulThe eggshell membranes of ducks and hens were carbonized or activated with 4 wt% sodium acetate or zinc at 400-600°C. The carbonized or activated products were characterized by SEM-EDS, TEM, FTIR and XRD. It was found that the suitable activation temperature for eggshell membranes is 500°C with 30.03-35.26% yield. The activation performance of CH3COONa for eggshell membrane activated carbon production … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 8 · 2 Aug 2017 · 8,528 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Rotation Effect on Shear Horizontal Surface Wave in a Piezoelectric Semi-Space Covered by a Semiconductor FilmFatimah AlshaikhIn this study, a mathematical model of the rotation effect on Shear Horizontally wave (SH-wave) propagation in a piezoelectric semi-space covered by a semiconductor film is investigated. The semiconducting layer is rotating with a constant angular velocity and the interface between the piezoelectric substrate and the semiconductor layer is imperfectly bonded. Furthermore, the surfaces of the bilayer system assumed free … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 29 Apr 2017 · 7,214 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Gaussian Plume Model against CFD Simulations through the Estimation of CO and NO Concentrations in an Urban AreaMahmoud BadyDispersion of air pollutants, Carbon monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen oxide (NO), due to three point sources and a high-density traffic road in an urban area located near the center of Tokyo, Japan was studied using two different approaches. The first is an analytical approach using Gaussian Plume Model (GPM) while the second is a numerical approach using Computational Fluid Dynamics … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,912 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSperm DNA Fragmentation and Apoptosis Levels: A Comparison of the Swim up and the Density Gradient Centrifugation Methods for Sperm PreparationSilvia W. Lestari, Triyana Sari, Dwi A. PujiantoThis study investigated the efficiency of two sperm preparation methods, namely, density gradient centrifugation and the swim-up method, in selecting spermatozoa based on the DNA fragmentation index and the apoptosis levels. Fifteen semen samples from infertile couples underwent sperm preparation in this study. The Makler® counting chamber and Eosin Y staining were used to analyse the sperm concentration, motility and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 14 Nov 2016 · 7,422 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 abstractTracking Algorithm for Estimating the Orientation Angles of the Object Based on the Signals of Satellite Radio Navigation SystemAlexandr PerovIn the article, the theory of optimal filtering of information processes is used to synthesize optimal one-stage estimation algorithm for the object orientation angles using the signals of the satellite navigation system. The article also provides equations of optimal filtering, as well as their representation in the form of the tracking system comprising of an orientation angles discriminator and a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 7 Dec 2015 · 6,478 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Bio-Char as Flow Modifier and Water Treatment Agent for Sustainable Pavement DesignRenaldo Walters, Shamim A. Begum, Elham H. Fini, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThe life expectancy of Asphalt Binder (AB) has been negatively impacted by the harsh bombardment of Ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV rays cause asphalt to oxidize faster, which results in the deterioration of asphalt's rheological characteristics that can lead to pavement distresses. This paper investigates merits of bio-char to improve asphalt aging susceptibility by blending one control binder (PG 64-22) and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 22 Apr 2015 · 9,055 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCyclic Prefix Length Determination for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing System over Different Wireless Channel Models Based on the Maximum Excess Delay SpreadAmar Al-Jzari, Kostanic IvivaCyclic Prefix (CP) is one of the key OFDM parameters. It is used to completely eliminate both Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) and Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) as long as the CP length is greater than the channel delay spread. By eliminating the ISI and ICI, the CP compensates for the effect of the multi-path dispersion; but it consumes a considerable amount of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 13 Apr 2015 · 8,570 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Physical Characterization of Hydrophobin-Like Proteins (HLP) from Aerial Conidia of Metarhizium Anisopliae Var. AnisopliaeD. S.B. Kiong, Choon Fah J. Bong, P. J.H. KingThe aim of this study was to isolate and physically characterized Hyrophobin-Like Proteins (HLP) from the aerial conidia of two local isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae, namely, TA and LR2. The protein samples were isolated based on their insolubility in hot Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS). The SDS-insoluble proteins were then purified in cold 98% formic acid and performic acid. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 29 Jan 2015 · 7,778 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Role of Migratory Quail in Spreading of Some Zoonotic Pathogens in EgyptAhmed I. Youssef, Dalia H. MansourThis study aimed to illustrate the potential role of wild migratory quails in the epidemiology of some zoonotic pathogens in Egypt.
