Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffects of Land Use Practices on the Organic Carbon Content, Cation Exchange Capacity and Aggregate Stability of Soils in the Catchment ZonesMosayeb Heshmati, Arifin Abdu, Shamshuddin Jusop, Nik Muhammad MajidProblem statement: Land use practice leads to changes in the physico-chemical properties of soils, such as Soil Organic Carbon (SOC), Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and Soil Aggregate Stability (SAS) that cause soil erosion. Approach: Merek catchment, Iran suffers from land degradation due to poor land use practice. A study was carried out with the objectives: (i) to determine soil nutrient … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 25 Oct 2011 · 8,722 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComplexation of Soy Protein Microgels and Isoflavones: Implication in Modulating BioavailabilityJuan Yang, Weifeng Lin, Xiaoquan Yang, Zhining BaoThe soy protein aggregate particles-isoflavones complexes (SPIGs) were prepared by thermally induced protein-polyphenol co-assembly and the in vitro bioavailability of isoflavones with different soy protein matrices was evaluated. The SPIG formed by heating SPI-isoflavone dispersion at 120°C in a narrow pH range, which was defined as spherical particles with uniform size, exhibited better colloidal stability and high isoflavone binding capacity, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 10 Dec 2022 · 5,113 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploitation of Battery Energy Storage in Load Frequency Control -A Literature SurveyAhmed Zurfi, Jing ZhangDeregulation of the electricity market and the continued attempts by the international community to reduce the effects of global climate change have resulted in a rapid increase in the usage of different renewable forms of energy such as the wind and solar energy. The availability of such renewables is highly sporadic in nature. Consequently, their integration into the power system … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 17 Dec 2016 · 8,133 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Crumb Rubber as Coarse and Fine Aggregates on the Properties of Asphalt ConcreteArabi N.S. Al Qadi, Mahmoud B.A. Alhasanat, Madhar HaddadThis research has used crumb rubber in asphalt mixture as a part of the coarse and fine aggregate. Three sieve sizes of crumb rubbers were used in asphalt mixture No. 4, No. 8 and No. 50, with five percent of asphalt cements (4, 4.5, 5, 5.5 and 6%) by weight and four percent of crumb rubbers (10, 20, 30 and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 24 Jun 2016 · 9,525 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Polyethylene in Hot Asphalt MixturesMohammad T. Awwad, Lina ShbeebThe increase in road traffic during the last two decades in combination with an insufficient degree of maintenance due to shortage in funds has caused an accelerated and continuous deterioration of the road network in Jordan. To alleviate this process, several types of measures may be effective, e.g., securing funds for maintenance, improved roadway design, use of better quality of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 14,664 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFractal Dimension for the Characterization of Asphalt Mixture PropertiesGiovanni LeonardiIn the design of asphalt mixtures for paved roads, the shape of solid elements has a great importance. In asphalt concrete, the shape of aggregate particles influences the resistance, durability, stiffness, fatigue response and the required binder content of the mixture. Fractal geometry is more suitable to describe the irregularity of the shape of aggregate particles. This paper describes the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 7 · 13 Jul 2016 · 7,181 accessesView PDF Cite
