Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating Toxicity of Extracted Destruxin from Metarhizium Anisopliae Against Citrus Leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrellaM. Mohammadi Sharif, A. R. Hadizadeh, M.A. Tajick GhanbaryProblem statement: The fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin produces some cyclic peptide toxins, destruxins, which exhibit a variety of insecticidal actions. Citrus leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton, is a major pest of young citrus trees; therefore its effective and safe control is a important issue. Approach: Five isolates of M. anisopliae were inoculated in Potato Dextrose Broth (PDB) mediums. Destruxin was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,255 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelaxation of Residual Stress Part 2: Relaxation of Stage 2Omar Suliman Zaroog, Aidy Ali, B.B. Sahari, Rizal ZahariProblem statement: Compressive residual stress induced by surface treatment such as shot peening increased component’s fatigue life. However the initial induced residual stresses relax during component operating life and it is important to consider the relaxation in the design. Approach: In this study, a 2024-T351 aluminum alloy specimens were shot peened into three shot peening intensities condition to induce compressive … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,002 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConstruction of a Glucose Biosensor by Immobilizing Glucose Oxidase within a Poly(o-phenylenediamine) Covered Screen-printed ElectrodeMiao Yuqing, Chen Jianrong, Wu XiaohuaThe glucose biosensors were prepared by the electropolymerization of the non-conductive polymer, Poly(o-phenylenediamine), onto a planar screen-printed electrode. A fabrication procedure was performed to decrease the waste of expensive enzyme. The amperometric glucose response was measured by the potensiostating of the prepared glucose biosensors at a potential of 0.3 V with ferrocene as mediator. Results show that the obtained biosensors … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,843 accessesView PDF Cite
