Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Barley for the Purification of Aquaculture Wastewater in a Hydroponics SystemA.M. Snow, A.E. GhalyBarley was examined for its ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater. The effects of seed sterilization using ethanol and bleach and seed density on germination and plant growth were investigated. Surface sterilization of barley seeds had a negative impact on germination. Increasing the ethanol concentration and/or the bleach concentration reduced the germination percentage. Barley seeds were first germinated in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,484 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Study of the Purification of Aquaculture Wastewater Using Water Hyacinth, Water Lettuce And Parrot’s FeatherA. M. Snow, A. E. GhalyWater hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot’s feather plants were examined for their ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater at two retention times. During the experiment, the aquatic plants grew rapidly and appeared healthy with green color. At hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of 6 and 12 days, the average water hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot’s feather yields were 83, 51 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,858 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Hydroponically Grown Macrophytes for Their Suitability as Fish FeedA. M. Snow, Abdel E. GhalyWater hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot's feather plants were examined for their ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater at two retention times. During the experiment, the aquatic plants grew rapidly in the hydroponics system and appeared healthy with green color. At hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of 6 and 12 days, the average water hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot's feather … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,254 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Assessment of Hydroponically Grown Cereal Crops for the Purification of Aquaculture Wastewater and the Production of Fish FeedA. M. Snow, A. E. Ghaly, A. SnowHydroponically grown wheat, barley and oats were examined for their ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater. Wheat, barley and oats seeds were germinated in water in a hydroponics system. The seedlings then received wastewater from an aquaculture system stocked with Arctic charr. During the experiment, the crops grew rapidly and fairly uniformly and showed no signs of mineral deficiency … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 9,167 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Constructed Wetland Biological Integrity Using Aquatic MacroinvertebratesC. Galbrand, I. G. Lemieux, Abdel E. Ghaly et al.A surface flow constructed wetland consisting of seven cells was used to treat the leachates from a decommissioned landfill. Wetland monitoring was performed by evaluating the treatment efficiency of the landfill leachate and the wetland biological integrity of the wetland. The water quality samples were analyzed for iron, manganese, phosphorus (orthophosphate), pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrogen (ammonia, nitrate, nitrite and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,415 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSubacute Toxicity of Crocus Sativus L. (Saffron) Stigma Ethanolic Extract in RatsDaryoush Mohajeri, Ghafour Mousavi, Mehran Mesgari et al.The medicinal properties attributed to Crocus sativus L. (saffron) are extensive. The safety of saffron is important in relation to its medicinal applications. This study was performed to elucidate the possible toxic effects of ethanolic extract of Crocus sativus L. stigma on liver, kidney and some hematological parameters in rats. Wistar rats were randomly assigned into four groups of eight … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,562 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnti-Diabetic Activity of a Fraction from Cissus verticillata and Tyramine, its Main Bioactive Constituent, in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic RatsCleide de Sousa Lino, Thiago de P. Sales, Patrícia B. Gomes et al.Cissus verticillata (syn. C. sycioides, fam. Vitaceae) is a medicinal plant popularly used in Brazil, for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The anti-diabetic activity of a fraction from leaves of Cissus verticilllata (MSF, methanol soluble fraction), as well as that of tyramine (TYR) were investigated, in the model of alloxan-induced diabetes, in male Wistar rats. The biochemical parameters studied were: … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,627 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMAEST :Multi-Agent Environment for Software TestingRamdane Maamri, Zaidi SahnounThe test is a significant aspect of software development and plays a considerable role in detecting errors in the implementation phase. As the software becomes more pervasive and more often employed to achieve critical tasks, it will be increasingly required to be of high quality. Significant reductions in the cost of software development and software maintenance could be achieved if … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,180 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Determinants of Deprivation in Jordan: Empirical StudyMohammed Issa ShahateetThe objective of this study was to determine and explain the factors that affect deprivation in Jordan. To do so, this study constructs and tests a model that determines the factors, which affect deprivation.

It looks at how changes … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,594 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Salmonella typhimurium Challenge on Swine Growth, Nitrogen Balance, Insulin-like Growth Factor-I, and Acute Phase ProteinsJ.A. Loughmiller, S.S. Dritz, J.L. Nelssen et al.Growing barrows were used to determine the effects of an en teric disease challenge on nutrient balance, growth, acute phase proteins, and IGF-I. Pigs were challenged on d 0 with Salmonella typhimurium (S; N=21), or unchallenged and fed ad libitum (A; n=6), or unchallenged and pair-fed the same amount of feed as a challenged pig (P; n=8).
