Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAIR POLLUTION AND CLIMATE CHANGE IN LAGOS, NIGERIA: NEEDS FOR PROACTIVE APPROACHES TO RISK MANAGEMENT AND ADAPTATIONAkinola A. Komolafe, Suleiman Abdul-Azeez Adegboyega, Adeleye Y.B. Anifowose et al.The significance of air pollution as one of the contemporary issues and accelerating factors that propel climate change in both developed and developing countries cannot be overemphasized. The problem of air pollution has seemingly become intractable with the incessant failure of both global and local environmental policies purportedly emplaced to address its devastating trend, particularly in growing megacities of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 12 Jul 2014 · 10,232 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASCORBIC ACID FOLIIAR SPRAY COUNTERACTING EFFECT OF SALINITY ON GROWTH, NUTRIENTS CONCENTRATIONS, PHOTOSYNTHESIS, ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITIES AND LIPID PEROXIDATION OF BEAN (PHASEULUS VULGARIS L.) CULTIVARSZeinab A. Salama, El-Zanaty A.A. Abou El-Nour, Mohamed M. El Fouly, Alaa A. GaafarA water culture experiment was carried out in the Department of Fertilization Technology at National Research Centre, Cairo, Egypt, to investigate the effect of Ascorbic Acid (AsA) foliar application and salinity stress (100 ppm and 100 mmoL NaCl) on growth, nutrients concentration and some biochemical parameters of two kidney bean (Phaseulus Vulgaris L.) cultivars. Salinity caused significant reduction in growth … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 16 May 2014 · 7,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEXPOSURE TO SWINE HOUSING DUST MODULATES MACROPHAGE MORPHOLOGY AND FUNCTIONRuth J. Pender, Radiah C. Minor, Steven L. Hurley et al.Swine Confinement Facility (SCF) dust consists of a complex mixture of feed grain particles, bacterial components, organic particulates and gases. When these particles are inhaled they deposit along the respiratory tract and mediate respiratory symptoms and disease in swine farmers and facility workers. Macrophages ingest and eliminate microbes and debris under chronic conditions; however, the role of macrophages in agricultural-related … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2014 · 7,606 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNEURO FUZZY BASED PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF MULTIBAND ULTRA WIDE BAND ORTHOGONAL FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLEXING SYSTEMG. Joselin Retna Kumar, K. S. ShajiThis study proposes an efficient channel-estimation scheme for Multiband (MB) Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)-based Ultra Wide Band (UWB) communication systems. One of the challenges in wireless system is the frequency selective fading caused due to multipath channel between the transmitter and receiver. The signal bandwidth in broad band cellular wireless systems typically exceeds the coherence bandwidth of the multipath … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 5 Mar 2014 · 6,616 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSELECTION OF BEAUVERIA BASSIANA (BALSAMO) VUILLEMIN ISOLATES FOR MANAGEMENT OF MYZUS PERSICAE (SULTZAR) (HOM.: APHIDAE) BASED ON VIRULENCE AND GROWTH RELATED CHARACTERISTICSMohammad S. Al-alawi, Maher ObeidatIsolates of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana originated from Jordan were evaluated for their efficacy against the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae under laboratory and greenhouse conditions. Efficacy evaluation involved testing all isolates at a concentration of 1×107 conidia/mL followed by concentration dependent and greenhouse bioassays for the top virulent isolates. Growth characteristics related to virulence were evaluated for high, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 28 Dec 2013 · 7,943 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnumeration of Microbes and Gas Production During Denitrification and Nitrogen Fixation Processes in SoilA. E. Ghaly, K. N. MacDonaldDry plant material contains 2-4% nitrogen, making it an essential nutrient for all plants. The nitrogen cycle regulates the pathways which transform nitrogen from a relatively inert dinitrogen gas to forms of organic nitrogen such as proteins and nucleic acids. Denitrification and nitrogen fixation are the two most important processes that remove and add nitrogen to the soil, respectively. The … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2012 · 8,618 accessesView PDFCite

Ugot, Dodeye Ina IgbongIn this study the effect of inlet air cooling system and components irreversibilities on the performance of an active 25MW gas turbine power plant was investigated. The objective of this study was to establish the potential benefits of improving the performance of the current gas turbine plant into a more advanced cycle with high efficiency and power output through inlet … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 24 Feb 2012 · 9,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStabilization of a Nonlinear Delay SystemWalid Arouri, Elyes Maherzi, Mongi Besbes, Houda Ben Attia SethomProblem statement: The analysis and control of delayed systems are becoming more and more research topics in progress. This is mainly due to the fact that the delay is frequently encountered in technological systems. This can affect their significantly operations. Most control command laws are based on current digital computers and delays are intrinsic to the process or in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 31 Jan 2012 · 6,844 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Verapamil on Serum Level of Salinomycin in Diabetic RatsHossein Najafzadeh, Said Reza Fatemi, Amir AshnaProblem statement: The aim of present study was evaluation function of P-glycoprotein with or without verapamil in normal and diabetic rats; which the function of P-glycoprotein was indirectly evaluated by detection of serum slainomycin concentration with HPLC method. Approach: This study was carried in 4 groups of rats including normal rats which received salinomycin and verapamil together salinomycin; and diabetic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 1 Aug 2011 · 6,823 accessesView PDFCite
