Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNephrocalcinosis in Female Rats Fed Diets Containing Either Pectin or CelluloseAhmed Alhaidary, H.E. Mohamed, A.C. BeynenProblem statement: There is evidence that the type of fiber influences the development of nephrocalcinosis in rats, but the effect of pectin was unknown. Approach: The effects of dietary pectin and cellulose on kidney calcification were studied in female rats. The diets used contained either 0.4-0.6% phosphorus and either cellulose (10%, w/w) or pectin. The purified diets used were balanced … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,534 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Logging Operation on Soil Carbon Storage of a Tropical Peat Swamp ForestAnton Eko Satrio, Seca Gandaseca, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: Since heavy machinery are used in the logging operation activity for extracting the logs on sensitive forest site with peat soil, environment destruction should be the other concern during its processes especially on its important function as soil carbon storage. The objective of this study was to determine whether logging operation affect soil carbon storage of a tropical … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,032 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Skidding Operations on Soil Carbon Storage of a Tropical Peat Swamp ForestAnton Eko Satrio, Seca Gandaseca, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: There is still lack of a study that compares the soil carbon storage of kuda-kuda skidding system and excavator skidding system in tropical peat swamp forests. The objective of this study was to determine whether skidding operations affects soil carbon storage of a tropical peat swamp forest. Approach: Soil sampling was conducted on two different plots (0.3 ha … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,709 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical Characteristics of Compost and Humic Acid from Sago Waste (Metroxylon sagu)Auldry Chaddy Petrus, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Ab Majid Nik Muhamad et al.Problem statement: Agriculture waste such as Sago Waste (SW) has a potential to cause pollution either on land or in water. In order to reduce this problem, a study was conducted to investigate the effect of three different treatments on the chemical characteristics of compost and humic acid from SW. Approach: The study had three treatments which were: T1: SW … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 8,088 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAmphoteric Starch in Simultaneous Process Preparation with Box-Behnken Design for Optimal ConditionsSopa Cansee, Juntanee Uriyapongson, Commueng Watyotha et al.Cassava starch was chemically modified to produce an amphoteric starch. The amphoteric starch was prepared in a simultaneous process which was evaluated in relation to four factors: temperature (45-55 °C), 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (CHPTAC, 4-12%) and sodium tripolyphosphate (STP, 2-8%) concentrations, and reaction time (2-6 h). The extent of amphoteric starch produced was determined by the degree of substitution (DS) of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Storage Time and Temperature on Serum AnalytesAbdoljalal MarjaniInformation on the measured concentration of serum analytes during storage of serum samples is often incomplete and sometimes contradictory. The 10 analytes have not studied in this area in healthy subjects. The aim of present study was designed to determine the effect of storage time and temperature on the laboratory results of 10 analytes in sera from apparently healthy adult … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 8,870 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Role of Sulfuric Acid In Production of Multicomponent Fertilizers From Renewable SourcesHelena Górecka, Henryk Górecki, Katarzyna Chojnacka et al.The paper discusses the possibility of using renewable sources: slaughter wastes and wood ashes in the production of NPK fertilizers. The content of macronutrients, micronutrients and toxic elements in these materials was reported. In the present work, poultry feathers were used as fertilizer source of nitrogen, animal bones as the source of phosphorus and wood ash as the source of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,374 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Fluoride and Other Ions on Algae and Fish of Coastal Water of Mediterranean Sea, EgyptM. S. Masoud, W. M. El-Sarraf, A. A. Harfoush, G. F. El-SaidSea grass, marine algae and fish samples were collected from the Egyptian coast of Mediterranean Sea during September 2000 and March 2001. The contents of fluoride and some interfering ions (calcium, magnesium, sulphate, phosphorus and some heavy metals) ions and their concentration factors were determined in the dried samples. Fluoride contents in macrophytes, algae, muscle of fish samples were ranged … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,265 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of the Application of Sewage Sludge and Presence of Pesticides on the Development of the Microbial Population of the Soil and on the Transformation of Organic Carbon and Nutrient ElementsM.E. Sánchez, I. B. Estrada, O. Martínez et al.The laboratory trial consisted in incubating samples of soil and soil treated with sewage sludge, with the application of organophosphate pesticides with different active ingredients under controlled conditions of temperature and moisture. On the basis of a previous study of the influence of the application of sludge on the degradation of pesticides in the soil, a kinetic study is included … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,859 accessesView PDFCite
