Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMixed Nickel Cobalt Manganese Oxide Nanorods for supercapacitor applicationRajat Mondal, Surjit Sahoo, Chandra Sekhar RoutMixed Nickel Cobalt Manganese oxide (NiCoMn-Oxide) is a new class of excellent material for supercapacitor application. Here, hydrothermal synthesis technique has been employed to prepare mixed NiCoMn-Oxide nanorods. The elemental composition and morphology of this material were validated by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and EDX techniques. To analyze the capacitive performance of this material, cyclic voltammetry and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 22 Jun 2016 · 9,052 accessesView PDFCite

Elghuol, Khalilah Abdul Khalil, Mazatulikhma Mat Zain, Mohamed Saifulaman Mohamed SaidNatural products have played a significant role in conventional treatment and in the development of new drugs for a wide range of illnesses, including malignant disease. Urginea maritima is classified as an herb is endemic to the Mediterranean area. This herb was renowned in traditional ethnopharmacological applications. Notwithstanding, there is a lack of evidence pertaining to the characterization of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 28 May 2016 · 7,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Nano-Alumina on Pore Structure and Durability of Class F Fly Ash Self-Compacting MortarEhsan Mohseni, Konstantinos Daniel TsavdaridisIn this study the effect of pore structure on the mechanical properties and durability characteristics of Self-Compacting Mortars (SCM) containing nano-Al2O3 (NA) and class F fly ash are investigated. Al2O3 nanoparticles with the maximum size of 15 nm in three different proportions of 1, 3 and 5% of the binder content were utilized to partially replace the cement. The 25% … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 14 Apr 2016 · 9,475 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential of HMEC-1 Line and HUVEC Primary Culture Cells to Study the Neonatal IgG Fc Receptor in vitroLuz Belinda Ortiz-Alegría, Irma Cañedo-Solares, Felipe Vadillo-Ortega et al.The neonatal IgG Fc receptor (FcRn) plays an important role in IgG homeostasis and immunity passive transfer. Fine points regarding these mechanisms, however, are still emerging. In order to obtain information about these phenomena, it is essential to have in vitro models of endothelium that express this receptor. In this study we chose two widely used models of human endothelial … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2016 · 9,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Nano Silica on the Compressive Strength of Harden Cement Paste at Different Stages of HydrationJustin Montgomery, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Sameer A. Hamoush, Miguel PicornellThis study investigated the compressive strength of hardened cement paste and the formation of Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) with the addition of nano silica (SiO2). Compressive strength testing was performed using MTS and Forney testing machines to determine stress-strain curves and compressive strength of the materials. The hydration process and formation of C-S-H and Calcium Hydroxide (CH) was examined using … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Mar 2016 · 8,340 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPorosity Analysis in Porous Brass Using Dual ApproachesRyan Yeargin, Rob Ramey, Cindy WatersThe goal of this research is to produce porous samples for various applications such as heat exchangers, filters and radiation shields. The level of porosity is an important objective yet the level of confidence in two main methods (hand calculations and microscopic analysis) is not high. This work will compare porosity values obtained from traditional hand calculations against analysis from … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 25 Feb 2016 · 8,529 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Clean-Green Synthesis of Platinum Nanoparticles Utilizing a Pernicious Weed Lantana (Lantana Camara)Musthafa O. Mavukkandy, Sudip Chakraborty, Tasneem Abbasi, Shahid A. AbbasiA rapid, reproducible single step method is proposed for synthesizing platinum nanoparticles using an invasive weed lantana (Lantana camara, L). The method involves mixing of platinum (VI) solution, lantana leaf extract and ascorbic acid in appropriate concentrations and keeping the mixture at 95°C for 8 min. The collective action of ascorbic acid and leaf extract reduced the chloroplatinic acid to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2016 · 10,458 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemoval of Copper from Aqueous Solution using Tunisian ClayN. Boujelben, S. Gharab, F. Bouhamed et al.Natural adsorbents such as clay was used to replace expensive imported synthetic adsorbents. In this study, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques were used to characterize the used sorbent (clays C). Batch experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of contact time, solution pH and temperature on copper removal onto used sorbent from aqueous solution. Equilibrium … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 15 Jun 2015 · 7,186 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFacile Synthesis of AgCl Hollow Nanospheres for Enhanced Photocatalytic PropertiesJing Chen, Yuling Zhao, Xinhui Liu et al.AgCl hollow nanospheres have been synthesized successfully via a hard-template approach using silica nanospheres as hard template for the first time.
