Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Study of Particle Emissions from a Modern 5 kW Pellet StoveIgor V. Dyakov, Benjamin Bergmans, Svend Bram et al.This work is dedicated to the determination of the particle emission from a commercially available bottom feed 5 kW pellet stove. Two-stage dilution was applied to provide the operational stability and conditioning of the sample. The analysis of particle emission was performed by means of the Electrical Low Pressure Impactor with 14 stages, able to separate particles from 0.006 to … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Oct 2016 · 7,004 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAn Opportunity for the Agricultural Sector: The Renewable Energy SourcesRiccardo Testa, Salvatore TudiscaToday, among the most important issue for energy decisions by policymakers, there are security challenges and environmental impacts on climate change and economic aspects. Since the seventies, in fact, global warming and environmental issues have had an increasing importance in international debate, attracting the attention of several scientific studies (Landi and Benelli, 2016). Many of these studies denoted that over … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2016 · 8,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLiquid Crystalline Polymers Compatibilization and Adhesion Enhancement by Reactive Blending in Post-Consumers PET’sAversa Raffaella, Apicella AntonioA method for PET mechanical properties enhancement by reactive blending with HBA/HNA Liquid Crystalline Polymers for in situ highly fibrillar composites preparation is presented. LCP/PET blends were reactive extruded in presence of Pyromellitic Di-Anhydride (PMDA) and then characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Thermally Stimulated Currents and tensile mechanical properties. The formation of specific macromolecular structures, where the PET, the LCP … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 17 Jun 2016 · 8,192 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDo Cows Under Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) Attempt to Self-Medicate?Erin Hendriksen, Ousama AlZahal, Tom C. Wright et al.The objective of this study was to examine feed-sorting behavior of dairy cows in response to a grain challenge that leads to Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA). Sixteen multiparous, rumen-cannulated lactating Holstein cows were used. During the first 49 days of the experiment, all cows received a High-Forage diet (HF; 77:23, F: C; NFC=35). Cows were then transitioned to a High-Grain … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 2 Sep 2015 · 7,574 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption of Nickel and Zinc by Residual SoilsNur ’Aishah Zarime, W. Y. Wan Zuhairi, Sivarama KrishnaSoil has long been utilized as low cost liner material to prevent contamination from leachate to groundwater media. To find a suitable soil material for this purpose is a great challenge. This study describes the potential use of residual soil to functions as engineered clay liner for waste disposal landfill in Malaysia. Three types of residual soils were investigated namely … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 5 Dec 2014 · 7,122 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHROUGHPUT AND BIT ERROR RATE ANALYSIS OF LUBY TRANSFORM CODES WITH LOW AND MEDIUM NODAL DEGREE DISTRIBUTIONSI. Joe Louis Paul, S. Radha, J. RajaThis study presents two degree distributions namely low and medium nodal degree distributions aiming to build a low overhead Luby Transform (LT) codes. The motivation is to design a fast encoder/decoder especially for real-time multimedia streaming and multicasting applications using LT codes. The key idea of this study is to restrict the average degree of the transmitted encoded symbols as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 12 Aug 2014 · 6,617 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASSESSING THE EFFECTS OF LOGGING ACTIVITIES ON AVIAN RICHNESS AND DIVERSITY IN DIFFERENT AGED POST-HARVESTED HILL DIPTEROCARP TROPICAL RAINFOREST OF MALAYSIAM. N. Rajpar, M. ZakariaLogging activities have encroached into the hill dipterocarp tropical rainforest area since the lowland dipterocarp forests have decreased in size. Hill dipterocarp tropical rainforest is rich in habitat diversity and provide a variety of resources for avian species such as food, habitat and shelter. Therefore it is important to examine the logging effects of hill dipterocarp rainforest on avian species. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 15 Jul 2014 · 7,584 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModification of Carbon Steel by Laser Surface Melting: Part I: Effect of Laser Beam Travelling Speed on Microstructural Features and Surface HardnessHashem F. El-Labban, M. Abdelaziz, Essam R.I. MahmoudThe present study aims to improve the surface hardness of carbon steel by application of laser surface melting of effective conditions. The travelling speed of laser beam during this treatment is one of the important treatment conditions. This study aims to investigate the effect of laser surface melting with different beam speeds on macro and microstructure as well as the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 2 Jan 2014 · 7,407 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDEVELOPMENT OF A PROXIMAL MACHINE VISION SYSTEM FOR OFF-SEASON WEED MAPPING IN BROADACRE NO-TILLAGE FALLOWSH. Liu, C. Saunders, S. H. LeeWeeds are among the most significant and costly environmental threats in Australian agriculture. Weeds compete with crop plants for moisture, nutrients and sunlight and can have a detrimental impact on crop yields and quality if uncontrolled. The distribution, size, density and species of the weeds are often heterogeneous in the cropping land. Instead of uniformly spray the same type of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 26 Nov 2013 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRETRIEVAL OF 24 HOUR AEROSOL OPTICAL DEPTHS FROM MIE LIDAR DATASiriluk Ruangrungrote, Pichet Limsuwan, Arunee IntasornTemporal Aerosol Optical Depths (AODs) of Phimai district, Nakhon Ratchasima province in Thailand were retrieved from measured Mie lidar data on 17-20 February 2005 using Fernald method. The ground-based station was selected for its high and diverse local agricultural activities contributed to the aerosol content which allows for various parameters such as concentration, size distribution and aerosol optical properties to … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 4 Sep 2013 · 6,517 accessesView PDFCite
