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 · 9,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Criterion for Determining the Ultimate Pullout Capacity of Plate Anchors in Clay by Numerical AnalysisHaixiao Liu, Fangmei Su, Zhou LiThe Ultimate Pullout Capacity (UPC) is an important index in designing and analyzing plate anchors. However, there are still uncertainties in determining the UPC through the load-displacement curves calculated from numerical analysis. The review on the existing criteria for determining the UPC also demonstrates that there has not been a generally accepted criterion and most existing criteria are not only … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 19 Jan 2015 · 8,413 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGENETIC DIVERSITY OF OKRA (ABELMOSCHUS ESCULENTUS L.) GENOTYPES FROM DIFFERENT AGRO-ECOLOGICAL REGIONS REVEALED BY AMPLIFIED FRAGMENT LENGTH POLYMORPHISM ANALYSISNaser M. SalamehThis study was carried out to assess the genetic diversity in 48 genotypes and accessions using eight Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) primer-pairs. The eight selected AFLP primer-pairs generated a total of 150 polymorphic loci. Using the generated AFLP data, the Un-Weighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Average (UPGMA) ordered the genotypes into six groups based on Dice similarity coefficient. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 7 · 29 Apr 2014 · 8,069 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModification of Carbon Steel by Laser Surface Melting: Part II: Effect of Laser Beam Power on Microstructural Features and Surface HardnessHashem F. El-Labban, M. Abdelaziz, Essam R.I. MahmoudThe surface hardness has an important effect on the wear resistance of different materials. The present study aims to improve the surface hardness of carbon steel through the application of laser surface melting with suitable conditions. The laser beam power and travelling speed are the main factors that affect the properties of the treated zone. In this study, three different … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Jan 2014 · 7,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Elastic-Plastic Contact Performance of Rigid Sphere Against a Deformable Flat-Effect of Strain HardnessV.C. Sathish Gandhi, S. Ramesh, R. KumaravelanProblem statement: The present study considers an elastic-plastic contact analysis of a rigid sphere with a deformable flat (Rigid Sphere-model) using finite element analysis. The effect of tangent modulus on the contact behavior of a no adhesive frictionless elastic-plastic contact was analyzed using commercial finite element software ANSYS. Approach: Different materials, in terms of the ratio of Young's modulus to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 26 Dec 2011 · 8,218 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlasma Thyroid Hormone Concentrations and pH Values of Some GI-Tract Segments of Broilers Fed on Different Dietary Citric Acid and Microbial Phytase LevelsRouhollah Nourmohammadi, Seyed Mohammad Hosseini, Hamed Saraee, Alireza ArabProblem statement: An experiment was conducted to study the effect of microbial phytase supplementation and citric acid on thyroid activity, relative weight of lymphoid organs and pH values of some GI-tract segments in broiler chickens fed corn-soybean meal based diets. Approach: The data was analyzed using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with factorial arrangement of 3×3, three levels of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Apr 2011 · 8,316 accessesView PDFCite

ElahwanyProblem Statement: The activated sludge system needs to improve the operational performance and to achieve more effective control. To realize this, a better quantitative understanding of the biofloc characteristics is required. The objectives of this study were to: (i) Study the biofloc characteristics from kinetics-mass transfer interaction point of view by quantification of the weight of the aerobic portion of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,422 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Briquetting Pressure on Banana-Peel Briquette and the Banana Waste in Northern ThailandPatomsok WilaiponBanana is considered as one of the most important agricultural products of Northern Thailand. A large amount of banana peel has been left as garbage after industrial processes. The raw material is plentiful and has low economic value. Therefore, the characteristics of banana-peel briquettes including banana peel properties were investigated. The briquettes were produced with pressures ranging from 3 to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 11,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeographic Distribution and Genetic Analysis of Physiological Racesof Setosphaeria turcica in Northern ChinaJingao Dong, Yongshan Fan, Xiumei Gui et al.Five hundreds and forty-six isolates of Setosphaeria turcica, the causal agent of Northern Corn Leaf Blight, were collected in 61 corn-growing locations throughout six provinces of Northern China during 2000-2002, to determine their pathogenicity on two sets of host differentials: OH43/Huangzao4, OH43Ht1Huangzao4Ht1, OH43Ht2/Huangzao4Ht2, OH43Ht3/Huangzao4Ht3 and OH43HtN/Huangzao4HtN.
