Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Boron Carbonitride (BCN) Thin Films Deposited by Radiofrequency and Microwave Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor DepositionM.A. Mannan, M. Nagano, K. Shigezumi et al.Boron carbonitride (BCN) thin films with a thickness of ~4 µm were synthesized on Si (100) substrate by radiofrequency and microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition using trimethylamine borane [(CH3)3N.BH3)] as a molecular precursor. The microstructures of the films were evaluated using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,371 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrostructural Study of Al-Si-Mg Alloy Reinforced with Stainless Steel Wires Composite via Casting TechniqueMazlee Mohd. Noor, Shamsul Baharin Jamaludin, Kamarudin HussinThe microstructural study of Al-Si-Mg alloy reinforced with stainless steel wires (Al-Si-Mg/SSw) has been investigated and focused on the both microstructures in the matrix and near to the interface and also the wetting condition at the interface. The wettability of solid metals by liquid metals is very important in determining the needed properties of the composite systems. In this study, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,655 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Preparation and Investigation of Magnetic Properties of Magnesium Zinc ferritesA. Rittidech, N. Sinthorn, A. NoisaguanMg0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 (MZF) is a ferrites material, displaying interesting magnetic properties. It has a wide range of magnetic coils and electronic devices. In this research, MZF ceramics was prepared by solid state reaction route and interested on sintering temperature that have effective on phase formation of MZF, microstruce and magnetic properties. The phase identification of ceramic ferrites was performed using X-ray … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,470 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudies on Metal Microbe Interaction of Three Bacterial Isolates From East Calcutta WetlandV. K. Adarsh, Madhusmita Mishra, Sanhita Chowdhury et al.The present paper put forth the isolation and complete characterization of three bacterial isolates from different sites of East Calcutta Wetland (ECW). These isolates show tolerance to heavy metals like Ag, Al, Cu, Cr, Co, Ni, Pb and were found to be efficient metal accumulators as evident from Energy Dispersive X Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 9,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Assessment and Monitoring of a Permeable Reactive Barrier for the Remediation of a Contaminated SiteValerio Zolla, Rajandrea Sethi, Antonio Di MolfettaThe present study illustrates the long-term monitoring plan carried out in order to investigate the performance of a zero-valent iron permeable reactive barrier (PRB) at a chlorinated solvents’ site. The cleanup intervention has been undertaken at an industrial landfill located near the city of Turin (Italy) and represents the first full-scale application of this technology in Italy. The monitoring plan … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,438 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Crude Aqueous Extract of Piper betle L. and its Antibacterial Effect Towards Streptococcus mutansT. Nalina, Z.H.A. RahimIn this study, the antimicrobial influence of crude aqueous extract of Piper betle L. on Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) was investigated. The focus of the antimicrobial effects includes the ultrastructure and acid producing properties of S. mutans. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to determine the effect of the extract on the ultrastructure of S. mutans. Analysis of the effect … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 13,459 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Characterization of Al Bond Pad Surface Treatment in Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG) DepositionM.K. Md Arshad, A. Jalar, I. Ahmad, G. OmarThis study reports a number of experiments that were designed to characterize aluminum bond pad surfaces prior to electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG). In the ENIG process, aluminum bond pads need special treatment to achieve successful nickel deposition and provide reliable interconnection of under bump metallurgy in advanced packaging. During this treatment process, the aluminum pad was cleaned, activated and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,722 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorpho-physiological Differences of the Spermatheca of Attini Ants (Hymenoptera: Myrmicinae)Gabriela Ortiz, Maria Izabel Camargo-MathiasThe insect's spermatheca store the spermatozoa from the time of copulation until the fertilization of the eggs and consists of a sac, usually associated to glands. The ant species Atta laevigata, Atta sexdens sexdens, Atta sexdens piriventris, Acromyrmex coronatus and Cyphomyrmex muelleri are considered pests, as they cause economics losses to several crops. The spermatheca of these species were examined … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,583 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of ball milling times on phase formation of Mg0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4Aurawan Rittidech, Panuthat KhotsongkramMg0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 (MZF) powder was prepared by a solid-state mixed oxide using ball-milling technique. The phase identification of calcined powders was performed using X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). It has been found that MZF powders were successfully obtained for calcination conditions of 800 oC for milling times of 36 h, whereas milling times of 12 h, unreacted ZnO, Fe2O3 and MgO phases … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,324 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreparation of Magnetic Paper from Kenaf: Lumen Loading and in situ Synthesis MethodC. H. Chia, S. Zakaria, S. Ahamd et al.Magnetic papers have been successfully prepared from unbleached kenaf (hibiscus cannabinus) kraft pulps via the lumen loading and in situ synthesis process.
