Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOPPER STRESS ON CELLULAR CONTENTS AND FATTY ACID PROFILES IN CHLORELLA SPECIESG. Sibi, T.S. Anuraag, Geeta BafilaHigher photosynthetic efficiency and biomass production with rapid growth makes microalgae as potential candidates over other energy crops in many applications. Heavy metals influence the production of secondary metabolites and lipd content of microalgae in particular. A study was conducted using six Chlorella species under heavy metal exposure to evaluate the copper stress on biomass, cellular and lipid contents. Preliminary … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 20 Aug 2014 · 7,785 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombined Chelation Therapy with Deferasirox and Desferrioxamine In Removing Lead from RatsFaezeh Dahooee Balooch, Seyed Jamilaldin Fatemi, Marzieh Iranmanesh, Batool HosseinkhaniThe present study aimed to evaluate the potential efficiency of Deferasirox (DFX) and Desfferioxamine (DFO) as chelating agents in removing lead from rats as a biological model. Two different doses of lead (II) chloride (40 and 80 mg kg-1 body weight) were used for 45 days. After this period, all rats showed toxicity symptoms through loss of hair, greenish mottling … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 24 Sep 2013 · 7,151 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of an Oxidation Ditch System with a Disc AeratorAbdel Ghaly, Ashley ThistleProblem statement: The oxidation ditch system has been used to treat various types of wastewaters. Several types of aerators are used to supply the treatment process with oxygen. Among these devices, the disc aerator has certain advantages regarding foam generation over the brush and paddle type rotors, but the main disadvantages of this aerator is the limited oxygenation capacity. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 8,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Robust Hybrid Approach to Enhance Speech in Mobile Communication SystemsManimegalai Govindan Sumithra, Keppana Gounder Thanuskodi, Bharathi DeepaProblem statement: The received voice signal in mobile communication is often disturbed by background noise and hence there is a need for good noise reduction methods for enhancing Speech. It is well known that denoising is a compromise between the removal of the largest possible amount of noise and the preservation of signal integrity. To address this issue, a new … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,299 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Potential of Extended Aeration System for Sago Effluent TreatmentWahi Abd Rashid, Hamdan Musa, Wong Sing King, Kopli BujangProblem statement: Sago effluent contains large amount of organic material which has a potential to cause water pollution. In order to reduce this problem, an experiment was conducted to remove organic material from sago effluent using lab scale of Extended Aeration (EA) system. Approach: The EA system consisted of the combination of physical and biological treatment unit. For Physical Treatment … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 8,346 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhenanthrene Contaminated Soil Biotreatment Using Slurry Phase BioreactorM. Arbabi, M. Sadeghi, Ch. AnyakoraProblem Statement: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are suspected toxins that accumulate in soils and sediments due to their insolubility in water and lack of volatility. Slurry-phase biological treatment is one of the innovative technologies that involve the controlled treatment of excavated soil in a bioreactor. Due to highly soil contamination from petroleum compounds in crude oil extraction and also oil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,758 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHard Coal Fly Ash and Silica-Effect of Fine Particulate Matter Deposits on Brassica chinensisChristian Ulrichs, Uwe Schmidt, Tanja Mucha-Pelzer et al.Problem statement: One focus in recent atmospheric pollution research is on fine Particle Matter (PM), especially as result of increasing traffic and anthropogenic activity in urban areas. Here, the impact on animal and human health has been in the center of many studies. Despite the fact that PM depositions can affect plants on the long term, there are only few … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,648 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReducing the Environmental Impact of Olive Mill WastewaterAwni Khatib, Fathi Aqra, Nader Yaghi et al.Problem Statement: A research was needed to monitor the environmental impact of olive mill wastewater (OMW): production and relative production of olive mill waste. This was achieved by collecting data from 92 local olive mills in order to study the olive production yield, water consumption in olive washing and in oil recovery, wastewater generation relative to olive processed and oil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 8,043 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Fertilization and Clipping of Phlomis fruticosa L. on a Phryganic Ecosystem: The Case of Thesprotia, Northwest GreeceCh. Roukos, K. Papanikolaou, E. Nikolaou et al.This study examined the effectiveness of various shrub control treatments (N+P fertilization, clipping of Phlomis fruticosa and clipping combined with N+P fertilization), to reduce shrub cover and encourage the growth of palatable herbaceous vegetation. Dry matter production and Crude Protein (CP) content of palatable herbaceous vegetation were determined annually from 2004 to 2006. Experimental plots received rains of 691.7, 532.9 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,823 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioaccumulation of Cr(III) ions by Blue-Green alga Spirulina sp. Part I. A Comparison with BiosorptionKatarzyna ChojnackaThe paper presents the results of studies on kinetics and equilibrium of bioaccumulation process of Cr(III) ions by blue-green alga Spirulina sp. Bioaccumulation was described as the process that consists of two stages, passive (identical with biosorption) and active (accumulation inside the cells). The passive stage (similarly as biosorption itself) was found to be quick process and the subsequent active … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,702 accessesView PDFCite
