Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExocellular (1→6)-β-D-Glucan (Lasiodiplodan): Carboxymethylation, Thermal Behavior, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial ActivityThais Vanessa Theis, Gabrielle Cristina Calegari, Vidiany Aparecida Queiroz Santos et al.β-Glucans are biomacromolecules of industrial interest for its biological and technological properties, including ability to modify the rheology of food systems and different biological functionalities. In this study, lasiodiplodan an exocellular polysaccharide of the (1→6)-β-D-glucan type produced by the fungus Lasiodiplodia theobromae MMPI was obtained in a bench-scale bioreactor operated in discontinuous mode. Lasiodiplodan produced was derivatized by carboxymethylation and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2017 · 8,326 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Nano Silica on the Compressive Strength of Harden Cement Paste at Different Stages of HydrationJustin Montgomery, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Sameer A. Hamoush, Miguel PicornellThis study investigated the compressive strength of hardened cement paste and the formation of Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) with the addition of nano silica (SiO2). Compressive strength testing was performed using MTS and Forney testing machines to determine stress-strain curves and compressive strength of the materials. The hydration process and formation of C-S-H and Calcium Hydroxide (CH) was examined using … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Mar 2016 · 8,333 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Role of Fly Ash and Silica Fume in the Cement Hydration ProcessLucas Suarez, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Miguel Picornell, Sameer A. HamoushThis research work investigates the effect of fly ash and silica fume on cement paste hydration. Percentages of each additive were selected to replace the cement by volume to be studied at five different ages using water curing and vacuum curing. These percentages were compared alongside a controlled cement paste without additives. Testing was carried out on 350 samples. Analysis … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2016 · 8,640 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterization of Ink (Carbon)-Perovskite/Polyaniline Ternary Composite Electrode for Sodium Chloride SeparationSavita Dixit, Sandhya PalWe reported the synthesis of ink-perovskite/Polyaniline composite electrode material for the separation of sodium chloride solution. These electrode materials are prepared by in situ polymerization process of aniline in the presence of perovskite ceramic material with carbon catalyst surface. This material is having the highest conductivity as a cathode material, environmentally benign and low cost material. The structure and morphological … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 2 Sep 2015 · 7,385 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Cultural Conditions for Production of Exopolysaccaride by Halomonas marina HMA 103 under Batch-CultureArundhati Pal, Amrita Biswas, Sriya Chatterjee, A. K. PaulA moderately halophilic bacterium, Halomonas marina HMA 103 (MTCC 8968) accumulating intracellular polyesters also produced significant amount of exopolysaccharides (EPS) under batch-culture. Production of EPS by the bacterium was more or less parallel with the growth in modified basal synthetic medium. During growth, it produced 0.46 g/L of EPS after 50 h of incubation and was accompanied by the complete … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 27 Jul 2015 · 7,932 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Solid Residues Obtained from Supercritical Ethanol Liquefaction of Swine ManureRui Li, Bo Zhang, Shuangning Xiu et al.Animal wastes are considered as renewable energy resources, which contain a great energy potential. For this study, swine manure was treated with supercritical ethanol within the reaction temperature range of 240-360°C to produce bio-oil, resulting in a significant amount of solid residues. Solid residues were characterized by using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM), surface area, elemental and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 15 Jul 2015 · 7,687 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterization of Marine Clay-Supported Nano Zero Valent IronHo Kuok How, Wan Zuhairi Wan YaacobThis study reports the preparation and characterization of marine clay nano zero valent iron (MC+nZVI) where marine clay acts as the composite material. Marine clay was air dried and pulverized before used. Basically, MC+nZVI was synthesized by chemical reduction method. The materials synthesized were left oven dried overnight at 50°C. The obtained materials were characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 Jun 2015 · 7,124 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemoval of Copper from Aqueous Solution using Tunisian ClayN. Boujelben, S. Gharab, F. Bouhamed et al.Natural adsorbents such as clay was used to replace expensive imported synthetic adsorbents. In this study, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques were used to characterize the used sorbent (clays C). Batch experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of contact time, solution pH and temperature on copper removal onto used sorbent from aqueous solution. Equilibrium … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 15 Jun 2015 · 7,182 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMetric for the Fusion of Synthetic and Real Imagery from Multimodal SensorsRami Nahas, S. P. KozaitisWe described a method to improve night vision for vehicle navigation that combined images from a thermal infrared camera and from a public database of stored images. Such an approach allows a night scene to appear as if it were daytime for automotive applications thereby increasing safety. We described a new metric to evaluate the fusion of such an augmented … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Dec 2014 · 7,896 accessesView PDFCite
