Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption from Aqueous Solution Onto Natural and Acid Activated BentoniteLaila Al-Khatib, Feras Fraige, Mohammad Al-Hwaiti, Omar Al-KhashmanDyes have long been used in dyeing, paper and pulp, textiles, plastics, leather, paint, cosmetics and food industries. Nowadays, more than 100,000 commercial dyes are available with a total production of 700,000 tones manufactured all over the world annually. About 10-15% of dyes are being disposed off as a waste into the environment after dyeing process. This poses certain hazards … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 28 Aug 2012 · 8,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of Compressed Natural Gas Engine for Nitrogen Oxides ReductionP. M. Diaz, B. Durga PrasadProblem statement: This study describes the use of Reformer Gas (RG) to alter NOx emission in a CNG-fueled HCCI engine. Comparison with diesel, natural gas has a very high octane number (≈120) and high auto-ignition temperature (≈600°C). Composed mostly of methane, natural gas is the only common fuel to manifest relatively pure, single-stage combustion. Other fuels have stronger low-temperature reaction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 15 May 2012 · 7,299 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEcological Sanitation in Morocco Promotion of the Urine-Diversion Dehydration Toilets-Case of Dayet IfrahYoussef Abarghaz, M. Mustapha Mahi, Mme Christine Werner et al.Problem statement: Most of people in rural areas in Morocco don’t have adequate systems of collection, evacuation and transport of black and gray water. They simply defecate in nature. There is a huge demand, which cannot possibly be met by conventional sanitation systems due to the enormous costs of the pipe network, lack of water and serious environmental drawbacks in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 7 Apr 2012 · 8,028 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnzymatic Bioconversion of Agave Leaves FiberHydrolysis Using Plackett-Burman DesignMiguel A. Medina-Morales, J. C. Contreras-Esquivel, H. De la Garza-Toledo et al.Problem statement: Biofuels production is becoming a key factor to help decrease pollution levels and the dependency of fossil fuels. Cellulose from lignocellulosic biomass is being used as a source of raw material for biofuels production, specifically bioethanol, so many ways to use it for this purpose are being developed. Approach: Cellulose content and enzymatic depolymerization of cellulose was evaluated … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 2 Nov 2011 · 8,130 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAchievement Motivation and Adjustment Patterns among International and National Players of Different Team SportsNirmaljit Kaur Rathee, Jagbir SinghProblem Statement: Achievement in sports demands specific behavior from an athlete.. The performer in such events must have ability to assess the situation, select the response, decide quickly and then implement it with determined efforts. Approach: This study was focused to examine the levels of achievement motivation, emotional and social adjustment among international and national players of basketball, hockey and … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 9,015 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMobile Ad Hoc Network Security for Reactive Routing Protocol with Node Reputation SchemeA. Suresh, Dr. K. DuraiswamyThe mobile node’s reputation in the Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) identifies its trust worthiness for secured multiple data communication. Unknown nature of the node’s communication status for initial period has great impact in the effective data transfer as MANET is self-organized and distributed. Problem statement: The functional operation of the mobile network relies on the trusty cooperation between the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 6,992 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCreep predicting model in masonry structure utilizing dynamic neural networkMustafa M. Abed, A. El-Shafie, Siti Aminah Bt. OsmanProblem statement: When the loads are applied to a brickwork structure, visco-elastic behavior upon their stress-strain relationships is exhibited, where the response can be classified into two separate parts: an instantaneous elastic strains and time-dependent creep strains. The creep strain represents the non- instantaneous strain that happens with time when the stress is sustained. Through the previous century, along with … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,631 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManagers Empowering EmployeesJ.D. Tony CarterProblem statement: This article looked at the behavior of organizations as an important factor for empowering employees. This allowed for a greater level of partnering between managers and employees. The more that top management wants an internal commitment from its employees, the more it must involve employees in defining work objectives, specifying how to achieve them and setting stretch targets. … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,542 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Effect of Pile Skin Resistance Verses Pile Diameter Based on Experimental ResearchS. M. Marandi, M.A. KarimzadehIn spite of the many recent advances in pile design and execution methods, the quantitative effects of grouted pile skin resistance and form on subsequent pile behavior remains an area for research. There are many parameters involved in the analysis of the bearing capacity of piles and descriptive method theory of the loading effect for each parameter is very complex. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,278 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of C*-Integral for Radial Cracks in Annular Discs under Constant Angular Velocity and Internal PressureA.R. Gowhari-Anaraki, F. Djavanroodi, S. ShadlouThe finite element method has been used to predict the creep rupture parameter, C*-Integral for single and double-edge cracks in eight annular rotating discs under constant angular velocity with and without internal pressure. In this study, a new dimensionless creeping crack configuration factor, Q* has been introduced. Power law creeping finite element analyses have been performed and the results are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,724 accessesView PDFCite
