Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutritional Value of the Maize Stalk Borer and American Bollworm as Unconventional Protein SourcesA.E. Ghaly, F.N. AlkoaikProblem statement: The maize stalk borer and American bollworm were grown in an artificial media to evaluate their potential as human food sources. Approach: Both cultures were started from moths and the life cycle and culture structures were evaluated. Results: The larvae of both insects reached maximum weight and maximum length at the same time. The growth rate of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 8,088 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Insects as Human Food in ZambiaA.E. GhalyProblem statement: The life cycle and culture structure of two commonly eaten worms in Zambia (Isoberlinia paniculata and Miombo/Mopani) were evaluated. The worms were grown on an artificial medium to evaluate the potential of producing them on a commercial scale. Approach: An interesting characteristic of the worms studied was that they reached their maximum weight and maximum length at the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRestrained Shrinkage-Induced Cracking of Light Weight High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious CompositesShaikh Faiz Uddin Ahmed, Hirozo MihashiProblem statement: Shrinkage induced cracking cause damage to reinforced concrete structures. An experimental study was conducted on restrained shrinkage test of cement mortar and light weight High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (HPFRCC). Approach: Two types of light weight HPFRCC and a premix mortar containing small amount of fiber were included in the experiment. Results: Results showed the multiple cracks, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,369 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Black Cutworm as a Potential Human FoodA.E. GhalyProblem statement: The black cutworms (Agrotis ipsilon) were grown in an artificial medium to evaluate their potential as a human food. Approach: The culture was started from moths and the life cycle and culture structure were evaluated. There was an initial adjustment period of 3 days during which the growth of the larvae was very slow. The size of the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,573 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Air Entry Values on Hysteresis of Water Retention Curve in Saline SoilS. Konyai, V. Sriboonlue, V. Trelo-GesProblem statement: The saline soil in Northeast Thailand is caused by saline groundwater rise in unsaturated zone to accumulate as salt at soil surface. Approach: This problem had been exacerbated in the last few decades by human activities e.g., deforestation and salt mining. This salinity problem can be solved by capillary rise control of saline groundwater flow. Results: The soil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,937 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Mini Review: Cholera Outbreak via ShellfishR. Suzita, A. S. Abdulamir, Fatimah Abu Bakar, R. SonProblem statement: Food borne illness occurs all over the world. Vibrio cholerae is the etiological agent of cholera which is spread by contaminated food, water or direct fecal contact with food handlers. There are also examples of sporadic outbreaks of illness attributed to raw products eaten unprocessed. Consequently, there was a widespread concern that food in international trade carries pathogenic … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,315 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Maturity Level in Laying Hen Manure by Chemical and Thermogravimetric AnalysisAlice Dall’Ara, Francesco Antolini, Laura Billi et al.This study aims at investigating maturity levels in manure from laying hens in order to encourage its agronomic re-utilization. In fact the use of unstable/insufficiently mature manure could potentially damage both soils and crops. Effective, easy to reproduce methods are needed in order to assess bio-stabilisation and maturity levels, particularly for biomass that has not undergone conventional composting. This study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,540 accessesView PDFCite
