Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Mesoporous Titania with Surfactant and its CharacterizationT. Benkacem, N. AgoudjilA mesoporous titania was obtained by gelation from Ti-alkoxide in acidic solutions with addition of surfactant cetyltrimetylammonium bromide (CH3(CH2)15N(CH3)3Br) using a sol-gel process. The effects of surfactant concentration on synthesis of mesoporous titania were studied. The structural characterisation was studied by differential thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction. Studies by X-ray diffraction showed that crystallisation of TiO2 powder occurs at … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,414 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation on the Effect of the Coupled and Uncoupled Formulation on Transient Seepage by the Finite Element MethodAhad Ouria, Mohammad M. Toufigh, Ali Nakhai2-D transient seepage beneath a dam was investigated by the finite element method. Governing equations were considered in coupled and uncoupled methods. At first stage, the fluid continuity equation for compressible porous media considered as uncoupled. Because of the occurrence of seepage forces, and their interaction with the fluid pore pressure, particularly in high compressible soils, uncoupled methods seem to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,073 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Study of Morphological Structure, Phase Structure and Molecular Structure of Collagen-PEO 600K Blends for Tissue Engineering ApplicationN. F. Mohd Nasir, M. G. Raha, N. A. Kadri et al.A new material which is collagen/ poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) blend was developed to determine its possibility as a promising material for tissue scaffold. PEO with average molecular weight of 600,000 and collagen originated from calf skin were dispersed in 0.1 M acetic acid to prepare a concentration of 1 wt% for PEO and 0.15 wt% for collagen. The collagen-PEO600K … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,422 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioceramics for Tissue Engineering Applications-A ReviewSunho Oh, Namsik Oh, Mark Appleford, Joo L. OngThree dimensional (3-D) scaffolds have been explored in an attempt to persuade the body to heal or repair tissues that do not do so spontaneously. Considerable advances in tissue engineering and regeneration have been accomplished over the last decade. However, the material and 3-D scaffolds ideal for optimal regeneration of missing or lost tissues has not been identified. While current … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 10,420 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Chitosan-poly (Ethylene Oxide) Blends as Haemodialysis MembraneN. F. Mohd Nasir, N. Mohd Zain, M. G. Raha, N. A. KadriBlend membranes of chitosan and poly (ethylene oxide) with different molecular weights of 100,000 and 600,000 were prepared by the solution cast technique. The Chitosan-PEO blend membranes were produced to study their water adsorptions capacity and characteristics of the haemodialysis membrane application. An increase in the water adsorption capacity of chitosan-PEO blend membranes compared to the pure chitosan was due … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 8,426 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Suction-rainfall Response of a Cut Slope in Unsaturated Residual Soil Using a Field Rain SimulatorBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj. Ali, S. MariappanThis research describes the design and construction of an artificial rain simulator system and the results obtained with regards to suction-rainfall response of a cut slope in unsaturated residual soil of weathered sandstone of various weathering grades. From the field measurements, the shallow tensiometers are found to record an immediate initial increase in matric suction within the first 20 min … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Modeling of Wastewater Oxidation under Microgravity ConditionsBoyun Guo, Donald W. Holder, David S. SchechterVolatile removal assembly (VRA) is a module installed in the International Space Station for removing contaminants (volatile organics) in the wastewater produced by the crew. The VRA contains a slim pack bed reactor to perform catalyst oxidation of the wastewater at elevated pressure and temperature under microgravity conditions. Optimal design of the reactor requires a thorough understanding about how the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 6,888 accessesView PDFCite
