Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReduction of Ammonia Loss from Urea through Mixing with Humic Acids Isolated from Peat Soil (Saprists)Regis Bernard, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohamadu Boyie JallohProblem statement: Application of urea as a source of nitrogen fertilizer has an adverse effect on ammoniacal loss to the environment. This study was conducted to reduce ammonia loss from urea by mixing with Humic Acids (HA) isolated from Saprists peat. Approach: The effects of urea amended with four different amounts of humic acids, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 g … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,846 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Al3Fe5O12 Cubic Structure by Extremely Low Sintering Temperature of Sol Gel TechniqueNoorhana Yahya, Ramadan A.H. Masoud, Hanita Daud et al.Problem statement: Fabrication of nano materials particularly nano inductors at low sintering temperature remains a challenge. This study was carried out as our initial response to obtain a nano-size inductors, which is aluminium iron garnet using low sintering temperature. Approach: The aluminum iron garnet (Al3Fe5O12) nano crystals were prepared by sol-gel technique. The starting solution is a mixture of iron … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,563 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeavy Metals and Anion Levels in Some Samples of Vegetable Grown Within the Vicinity of Challawa Industrial Area, Kano State, NigeriaJ. C. Akan, F. I.A. Abdulrahman, V. O. Ogugbuaja, J. T. AyodeleProblem section: Effluents from the surrounding industries such as tannery and textile are used by vegetable farmers for the irrigation of their crops. These effluents may contain some toxic metals which bioaccumulate along the food chain. Moreover the uptake of such toxic metals by crops is governed by their availability and concentration in the soil. Therefore such crops may accumulate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,270 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWater Quality Assessment of A Constructed Wetland Treating Landfill Leachate and Industrial Park RunoffC. Galbrand, I. G. Lemieux, A. E. Ghaly et al.A surface flow constructed wetland was used for the treatment of landfill leachate and industrial park runoff. The wetland consisted of seven cells and was designed as a kidney shape to facilitate high retention time. The water quality was assessed for iron, manganese, phosphorus (orthophosphate), pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrogen (ammonia, nitrate, nitrite and TKN), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimizing Nano-silver Formation by Fusarium oxysporum PTCC 5115 Employing Response Surface MethodologyM. Karbasian, S. M. Atyabi, S. D. Siadat et al.Fusarium oxysporum was grown in medium containing malt, yeast extracts and glucose on shaker at 25±1°C and180 rpm for 96 h. The mycelia were used to convert silver nitrate solution into nano-silver. The bioconversion was optimized through response surface methodology-central composite design .The factors which affected the process were pH, temperature, agitation rate, concentration of silver nitrate, time of reaction … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Groundwater Vulnerability in Urban Development PlanningJ. Nouri, S. MalmasiGroundwater resources in most places of Iran are considered to be one of the important drinking water supplies for civilians. In city of Tehran, 25% of drinking water is being supplied from groundwater. This fact would enforce the requirement to protect and conserve groundwater resources in the city for its further development plan. Municipality of Tehran, District-22 has been designed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,974 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis, Characterization and Saponification of Poly (AN)-Starch Composites and Properties of their HydrogelsA. Hashem, M. A. Afifi, E. A. El-Alfy, A. HebeishHydrogels based on saponified products of poly (acrylonitrile, AN)-starch composites were prepared, characterized and their water abosrbency properties examined. The term composite refered to the resultant products of polymerizatin of AN with starch in presence of ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as initiator, that is the composite consists of poly(AN)-starch graft copolymer, homopoly(AN) , oxidized starch and unreacted starch. Thus AN … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,577 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining the Eutrophication State of Ecbatan Reservoir using Carlson IndexMaryam Ghashghaie, Mohammad Reza Serajian Maralan, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari et al.Reservoirs are vital and necessary resources of potable water. Different sectors such as agriculture, industry and fishery are dependent on these resources which need high quality water. Water quality is mainly evaluated using different parameters such as pH, temperature and turbidity which are easily measured. Also there are some more complicated parameters such as eutrophication degree of a water body. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 19 Apr 2018 · 8,471 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Novel Thermo-Chemical Treatment on Bending Strength of Laminated GlassAjitanshu VedrtnamThe science of thermal and chemical treatment of glass is well documented. The Laminated Glass (LG) is usually not treated as either treated glass is used during production or lower melting temperature of interlayer does not allow the treatment. The present work reports the novel methods of thermo-chemical treatment of LG having annealed soda lime glass plies. Five thermo-chemical treatments … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2018 · 6,973 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening of Multi-Drug and Metal Resistant Aeromonas Species from Diverse SourcesRamasamy Amsaveni, Muthusamy Sureshkumar, Joseph Reshma Mary et al.The abuse of antibiotics in the modern era, lead the microorganisms to develop resistance.
