Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFull Scale Tests of Short-Term Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Bottom Ash Weathering Before Landfill DisposalFranco Marchese, Giuseppe GenonProblem statement: Natural weathering is the most economic method of treatment in order to reduce the release of heavy metals present in the residue. Approach: The aim of the study was to optimize the minimum weathering times that were useful to reduce the lead release to within the Italian limits for landfill disposal. The mechanism of short-term weathering of MSWI … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Relationship between Physical Self-Concept and Body Image Dissatisfaction in Female StudentsSirus Alipoor, Ali Moazami Goodarzi, Maryam Zarra Nezhad, Lale ZaheriProblem statement: Body image is a psychological construct which refers to self-concept including self image and feelings an individual perceives about his or her body. Body image can significantly affect the way an individual perceives about his or her body. Studies on relationship between physical self-concept and body image in some countries showed that the women's body dissatisfaction has led … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 10,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Modeling of Economical Market Forces for an Intelligent Delivery of Dynamical Optimal Impact Solution (DOI)Mahmoud Iskandarani, Ghaleb El-RefaeAn intelligent model for the purpose of evaluating and affecting delivery of services as a function of initial capital investment is developed and discussed. The algorithm associated with such a model, maps the principles of sustainability of business success as dependent not only on the content of the business but also on the impact that it has on the beneficiaries … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,310 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractγ-Aninobutyric acid (GABA) suppresses antigen-specific immune responses in ovalbumin γ(OVA)-immunized BALB/c miceTohru Sakai, Hiroko Okada, Mitsuo Kise et al.γ-Aminobutruic acid (GABA) is known to be a ubiquitous inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that GABA modulates cardiovascular and respiratory functions. In this study, we examined the effect of GABA on antigen (Ag)-specific immune responses and elucidated the mechanisms underlying those effects in ovalbumin (OVA)-immunized BALB/c mice. OVA-specific proliferative responses were decreased in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research NotesOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Drying Methods on Coal Liquefaction ConversionMehran HeydariThe sample coal used in this work was lignite containing 25% of moisture and 19% of ash from Canada. Drying of lignite coal had considerable influence on the coal liquefaction conversion. Vacuum dried and nitrogen dried samples provided higher conversion than air dried samples. The air drying showed nearly lower conversion, which probably as a result of oxidation. Air Drying … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2019 · 7,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCyclic Instability of Shape-Memory Alloys in Seismic Isolation SystemsFilipe Amarante dos Santos, Corneliu Cismasiu, Francisco Braz FernandesShape-memory alloys are being progressively introduced as kernel components in seismic retrofitting devices for civil engineering structures. In order to control the instability associated with the first mechanical cycles, a training procedure is usually implemented, which stabilizes the superelastic behavior of the alloy. This paper addresses the characterization of the cyclic behavior of an austenitic NiTi alloy with emphasis on … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 7 Jan 2018 · 6,856 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) Profile at Different Calcination Conditions for Synthesis of PTES-SBA-15Norhasyimi Rahmat, Nurjihan Sadon, Muhammad Abeed YusofThe aim of this work is to study the effects of calcination condition on the properties of mesoporous silica, SBA-15 modified with phenyl group of organosilane. Functional group SBA-15 were synthesized and hydrothermally aged. The surfactant template was conventionally removed by calcination at varied temperature and duration. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) was employed to characterize the pure and modified SBA-15. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 10 · 7 Apr 2017 · 8,458 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuality Measurements on the Radio Interface of the Mobile Communication in the Proximity of the Power SystemSaid Ghnimi, Adnen Rajhi, Ali Gharsallah, Fakhreddine KhlifaProblem statement: The electric power lines and its associated equipments generally produce an electromagnetic noise in their environment, which are likely to have dangerous effects on propagation environment to the Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) cellular mobile network. Approach: In this study, we analyzed the characteristics of the power line noise and its correlation with the GSM burst; showing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 26 Mar 2015 · 7,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCHARACTERIZATION OF OIL PALM EMPTY FRUIT BUNCH AND RICE HUSK BIOCHARS AND THEIR POTENTIAL TO ADSORB ARSENIC AND CADMIUMNorazlina Abu Sari, Che Fauziah Ishak, Rosenani Abu BakarBiochar as a new soil amendment has a potential in controlling the fate of trace elements in the soil system. However, the production of biochar from different feedstocks and pyrolysis conditions resulted in variable biochar properties which have an influence on trace elements availability. The experimental works are focused on physical and chemical properties of biochars produced from Empty Fruit … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 13 Aug 2014 · 10,590 accessesView PDFCite
