Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffects of Quercetin Encapsulated Liposomes via Nasal Administration: A Novel Cognitive EnhancerTerdthai Tong-un, Supaporn Muchimapura, Wathita Phachonpai, Jintanaporn WattanathornProblem statement: Demand for cognitive-enhancing drugs is growing. Numerous medicinal plants possessing antioxidant activity have received much attention as food supplement to improve cognitive function. Quercetin is a potent free radical scavenger and antioxidant. However, the limitations of quercetin: Rapidly metabolized is an obstacle to its use for a cognitive enhancer. In addition, the burden of blood brain barrier can … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,498 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Nutritive Value of Wastewater Grown Barley and its Utilization in Fish FeedA.M. Snow, A. E. GhalyThe feasibility of using wastewater grown barley plants as a component of fish feed was evaluated. The barley plants were grown in a hydroponics system on wastewater from a recirculating aquaculture facility. The effects of wastewater application rate on plant growth and pollution potential reduction were investigated. At the end of the experiment, the average crop heights and yields were … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,878 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIsolation and Purification of Bacterial Strains from Treatment Plants for Effective and Efficient Bioconversion of Domestic Wastewater SludgeK. C.A. Jalal, Md. Z. Alam, Suleyman A. Muyibi, P. JamalForty six bacterial strains were isolated from nine different sources in four treatment plants namely Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) sewage treatment plant, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) treatment plant-1,-2 and -3 to evaluate the bioconversion process in terms of efficient biodegradation and bioseparation. The bacterial strains isolated were found to be 52.2% (24 isolates) and 47.8% (22 isolates) in the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,575 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffects of the Mass Transfer Process in Oil SpillFabián Betancourt, Arturo Palacio, Alejandro RodriguezA revision of the models used to study the behavior of the mass loss processes associated with petroleum spills on water and to compare those models with experimental data. The processes of mass transfer studied in this work are evaporating, dissolution, vertical dispersion, emulsification and the changes of properties associated with these.

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBy-pass Devices as Effective Means of Protection from the Hydraulic HammerKhalid S. Al-RababaSwitching-off the parallel working pump units causes sudden discharge changes in parallel pipe lines, as a result of that hydraulic shocks takes place. The damping of these shocks can be achieved by the installation of the by-pass devices between the parallel lines of the piping system. The analytical calculations demonstrate that the reduction in hydraulic shocks reaches 40% and considerable … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 6,912 accessesView PDF Cite
