Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBiochar Types from Latrine Waste and Sewage Sludge Differ in Physico-Chemical Properties and Cadmium AdsorptionKoetlisi Andreas Koetlisi, Pardon MuchaonyerwaPyrolysis of latrine fecal waste could produce valuable products for minimizing environmental contamination with heavy metals. The objective of this study was to determine yields, characteristics and cadmium (Cd) sorption of biochar from latrine fecal waste and sewage sludge, as affected by pyrolysis temperature. Slow pyrolysis at 350, 550 and 650°C, was used to produce the biochar. In addition to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2017 · 8,512 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Meat-Derived Lactic Acid Bacteria, Lactobacillus plantarum IIA, Expresses a Functional Parvulin-Like Protein with Unique Structural PropertyCahyo Budiman, Irma Isnafia Arief, Fernandes Opook, Muhammad YusufThe genome sequence of a Lactic Acid Bacterium (LAB) Lactobacillus plantarum IIA contains a single gene encoding a parvulin-like protein (Par-LpIIA). This protein belongs to Peptidyl Prolyl cis-trans Isomerase (PPIase) family proteins that catalyze a slow cis-trans isomerization of cis prolyl bond during protein folding. This study aims to provide molecular and biochemical evidences of the existence of Par-LpIIA in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 26 Feb 2021 · 7,023 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSynthesis and Characterization of Bio-based Polyurethane PolymersJahangir Emrani, Ramazan Benrashid, Shahrzad Mohtarami et al.This paper describes the development of new biobased Polyurethanes (PU) starting from swine manure bio-resin and diisocyanates. The bio-resin is produced from swine manure via a hydrothermal process. For sustainability, today, many PUs in new specialized applications, are biobased. In this study, different commercial diisocyanates including MDI, Desmodur W, Desmodur H and Demodur I and swine manure, which is an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2018 · 8,361 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAPPLYING BLACK-BOX TESTING TO MODEL TRANSFORMATIONS IN THE MODEL DRIVEN ARCHITECTURE CONTEXTLuciane Telinski Wiedermann Agner, Inali Wisniewski Soares, Jean Marcelo Simao, Paulo Cézar StadziszTesting model transformations has played a leading role with the dissemination of MDA in software development processes. Software testing based on black-box testing, together with the &#34category partitioning&#34 method, can be efficiently used in order to conduct the verification of model transformations. This study employs software testing techniques to an ATL model transformation in the MDA context and points out … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 20 Mar 2014 · 7,354 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATIONOF ORGANIC FUNCTIONALIZED MESOPOROUS SILICA AND EVALUATE THEIR ADSORPTIVE BEHAVIOR FOR REMOVAL OF METHYLENE BLUE FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONSameer H. Kareem, Inaam H. Ali, M. G. JalhoomThree Mesoporous Silica (MPS) with different functional groups were prepared by one-step synthesis based on the simultaneous hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethoxy silane with organo-silane in the presence of template surfactant Polydimethylsiloxane-Polyethyleneoxide (PDMS-PEO). The prepared materials were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption experiments. The results indicate that the preparation of methyl and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2014 · 7,287 accessesView PDF Cite
