Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Instabilities of the Chip Formation and It's Prediction Model During End Milling of Medium Carbon Steel (S45C)Md. Anayet U Patwari, A. K.M. Nurul Amin, Waleed FarisProblem statement: Chip shape and size varied widely in machining operations. Undesirable chip formation had a detrimental effect on surface finish, work-piece accuracy, chatter and tool life. Approach: This study included the findings of an experimental study on the instabilities of the chip formation and development of a mathematical model based on statistical approach for the prediction of the instability … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,357 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization, Antioxidant Activities and Optimization of Preparation Process of a Auricularia Polytricha Polysaccharide-Zinc (II) ComplexXinyi Wu, Xiao Ding, Ze Zhang et al.In our previous work, a novel polysaccharide APP3a from Auricularia polytricha was successfully isolated and purified. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the preparation process of APP3a-Zn on the basis of the single factor experiments. Characterization of APP3a-Zn was carried out and its antioxidant activity was also investigated. The result showed that the best preparation process of APP3a-Zn was … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2021 · 6,638 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlavonoids from the Zizania latifolia Bracts: Extraction Optimization, Antioxidant Activity and Exploration in Strawberry PreservationTong Wang, Yuzhu Zhang, Lijie Ben et al.Zizania latifolia bracts are Z. latifolia-based agricultural waste materials, distributed in various parts of the world. In the current study, the Response Surface Method (RSM) was used to optimize the cellulase-assisted extraction of Total Flavonoids from Z. latifolia bracts (TFZB). Then, the in vitro antioxidant capacity and the potential effect on strawberry preservation were assessed. The results showed that the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2021 · 6,368 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEssential Oils from The Dropped Flowers of Camellia japonica: Extraction Optimization, Chemical Profile and Antibacterial PropertyYunqi Kong, Gaochao Wang, Xinyu Wang et al.Camellia japonica is one of the most economically valuable species that can be taxonomically placed in the Theaceae family. Many horticultural varieties of C. japonica have been cultivated as ornamental trees worldwide, owing to their charming flowers. However, young C. japonica flowers usually drop in a “decapitated” form during the peak flowering stage, causing a resource waste. In this study, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2021 · 6,991 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResponse of SAI Afferents May Play a Role in the Perception of Velvet Hand IllusionAbdullah Chami, Masahiro Ohka, Yuji Kawabe, Hanafiah Bin YussofProblem statement: We revealed the reason behind a haptic illusion called the Velvet Hand Illusion (VHI) by FEM analysis. In VHI, a person rubs his/her hands together on both sides of wires strung through a frame and produces the sensation of rubbing a very smooth and soft surface like velvet. We focus on VHI to determine the specifications of an … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 6,997 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Suction-rainfall Response of a Cut Slope in Unsaturated Residual Soil Using a Field Rain SimulatorBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj. Ali, S. MariappanThis research describes the design and construction of an artificial rain simulator system and the results obtained with regards to suction-rainfall response of a cut slope in unsaturated residual soil of weathered sandstone of various weathering grades. From the field measurements, the shallow tensiometers are found to record an immediate initial increase in matric suction within the first 20 min … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,278 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOlfactory Responses of the Asiatic Citrus Psyllid (Diaphorina citri) to Mineral Oil-Treated Mandarin LeavesMofit Eko Poerwanto, Y. Andi Trisyono, G. Andrew C. Beattie et al.Problem statement: Evidence of rejection or acceptance by phytophagous pests of citrus plants treated with mineral oils suggests that impacts of oils may be related to detection by olfactory and/or contact chemoreceptors of repellent oils or plant volatiles. Alternatively, the oils may mask or suppress attractant host plant volatiles. To date, no studies have reported that oils elicit an olfactory … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2012 · 8,785 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Study of the Stress Response of Bi-Directional Corrugated-Strip Core Sandwich BeamSuphattharachai Chomphan, Manit LeekitwattanaProblem statement: In engineering design, stress affects the size of structural member. A suitable topology of structure should be designed to optimize the stress. Approach: This study presents an alternative topology of truss-like core sandwich beam referred to here as bi-directional corrugated-strip core topology. A finite element method is used to study the stress response of three point loaded truss-like … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 23 Jul 2011 · 7,064 accessesView PDF Cite
