Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating Rainwater Harvesting System for School BuildingsManoj K. Jha, Nishant ShahFreshwater is becoming limited as our climate and weather pattern changes. In this study, a rainwater harvesting system was evaluated for collecting and utilizing rainwater for uses in non-potable purposes. Water-Balance was carried out for two design scenarios: Single tank and double tank, for irrigation in all main fields (202,724 ft2). The irrigation demand for the entire field was estimated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 22 Sep 2015 · 8,909 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Those Up Regulate Klotho and Glutathione Peroxidase-1 Gene Expression Improve Renal Function in Rats with Acute Renal FailureFatma E. El-Gendey, Shabaan A. Hemeda, Gamal A. Sosa, Naglaa F. AlhusseiniAcute Renal Failure (ARF) has traditionally been defined as the abrupt and progressive loss of kidney functions resulting in the retention of urea and other nitrogenous waste products associated with interstitial inflammation, tubular injury and increasing Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF). Mortality in patients with ARF remains high >50% in severely ill patients. Klotho gene is a new anti-aging gene. Genetic … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 15 Aug 2015 · 7,097 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnaerobic Digestion of Pulping Wastewater Using Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) Reactor at Mesophilic ConditionRanda M. Osman, M. HamadThe waste considered for this study was the effluent of the pulping process produced during the manufacture of pulp and paper in the Rakta integrated pulp and paper mill in Alexandria. The pulping process in Rakta mill is conducted under pressure of 7-8 bar, 165°C using 10% NaOH based on straw weight for 2 h. The spent liquor after alkali … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 11 Aug 2015 · 6,927 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioanalytical Method Validation and Quantification of Flupirtine in Canine Plasma by HPLC with Spectrofluorimetric DetectionVirginia De Vito, Alessandro Saba, Helen Owen, Mario GiorgiFlupirtine (FLU) is a non-opioid analgesic drug belongs to the class of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) antagonist without antipyretic or antiphlogistic properties. No analytical method to detect FLU in canine plasma samples through a fluorimetric detector has been published to date. The analytical method described in this work provides a selective and accurate quantification of FLU. The mobile phase consisted of ACN:AcONH4 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2015 · 7,982 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Bio-Char as Flow Modifier and Water Treatment Agent for Sustainable Pavement DesignRenaldo Walters, Shamim A. Begum, Elham H. Fini, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThe life expectancy of Asphalt Binder (AB) has been negatively impacted by the harsh bombardment of Ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV rays cause asphalt to oxidize faster, which results in the deterioration of asphalt's rheological characteristics that can lead to pavement distresses. This paper investigates merits of bio-char to improve asphalt aging susceptibility by blending one control binder (PG 64-22) and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 22 Apr 2015 · 9,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAN IN-HOUSE COMPUTER-BASED DATA ACQUISITION AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ANAEROBIC FERMENTATION PROCESSESE. A. Echiegu, A. E. GhalyA computer-based Data Acquisition and Control System (DACS) capable of monitoring the temperature, pH and gas production as well as maintaining a pre-determined temperature profile and feeding regime in anaerobic reactors was developed and tested. The hardware for the DACS was a series-based system consisting of a host processor which drives three modules-a digital input mode (MODULE 255), an analog … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 17 Nov 2014 · 6,907 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINCREASING ANAEROBIC DIGESTION PERFORMANCE OF WASTEWATER WITH CO-DIGESTION USING DECANTER CAKEThaniya Kaosol, Narumol SohgrathokLow biogas production in the frozen seafood wastewater anaerobic digestion is observed due to the low organic and Total Solids (TS) contents in the wastewater. In this research the decanter cake will be used in the anaerobic co-digestion process to improve the biogas production rate. The effect of co-digestion and Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) will be investigated using the continuously … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 22 Sep 2014 · 7,359 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKINETIC MODELLING OF CONTINUOUS-MIX ANAEROBIC REACTORS OPERATING UNDER DIURNALLY CYCLIC TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENTE. A. Echiegu, A. E. GhalyA two-culture dynamic model which incorporated the effects of diurnally cyclic temperature was developed and used to predict the dynamic response of anaerobic reactors operated on dairy manure under two diurnally cyclic temperature ranges of 20-40°C and 15-25°C which represent the summer and winter in Nigeria. The digesters were operated at various hydraulic retention times and solid concentrations and some … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 29 Aug 2014 · 7,290 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDisposal of Agro-Industrials Wastes as Soil AmendmentsAli Mekki, Fatma Arous, Fathi Aloui, Sami SayadiWe investigated the fertilizing potential of three agro-industrial wastes (Compost (C), Dehydrated Manures (DM) and Digestate (D)) on soil properties, on seeds germination and the plants growth. Results showed that the addition of wastes modified several soil properties as pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Water Retention Capacity (WRC) and Soil Organic Matter (SOM). Hence, SOM increase from 1.5% in unamended soil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 11 Jan 2014 · 7,014 accessesView PDFCite
