Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsENHANCING ASPHALT RHEOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR AND AGING SUSCEPTIBILITY USING BIO-CHAR AND NANO-CLAYRenaldo C. Walters, Elham H. Fini, Taher Abu-LebdehThe life expectancy of Asphalt Binder (AB) has been negatively impacted by the harsh bombardment of UV rays. UV rays cause asphalt to oxidize faster, which results in deterioration of asphalt rheological characteristics that can lead to pavement distresses. This study investigates the impact of bio-char and nano-clay of asphalt rheological properties. Two nano scale materials were used for this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 24 Mar 2014 · 10,525 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Bio-Modified Montmorillonite Clay to Enhance Asphalt Oxidation ResistanceShahrzad Hosseinnezhad, Elham H. Fini, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThis study evaluates the effectiveness of using a Bio-modified Nanoclay additive (BNC) to reduce the oxidative aging of asphalt pavements. The study results through X-Ray Diffraction analysis showed that the modification of montmorillonite clay with bio-modifier increased the basal d-spacing of clay. The resulting nanoclay with increased interlayer spacing was chosen for application in asphalt binder. Rheological characterization of clay-modified … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 31 Mar 2018 · 9,054 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Simulation of Liquid Bio-Fuel Combustion in an EGR Equipped Micro Gas TurbineMaria Cristina Cameretti, Raffaele Tuccillo, Fabrizio Reale, Renzo PiazzesiThis paper focuses the attention to the possibility of a correct combustion close to the flameless regime, even in the presence of lower calorific value fuels like those that can be found with high concentrations in the bio-mass derived ones. In addition, the authors pay attention to the nitric oxide control by means of an optimal choice of the pilot … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 7 · 4 Aug 2015 · 6,715 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Bio-Char as Flow Modifier and Water Treatment Agent for Sustainable Pavement DesignRenaldo Walters, Shamim A. Begum, Elham H. Fini, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThe life expectancy of Asphalt Binder (AB) has been negatively impacted by the harsh bombardment of Ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV rays cause asphalt to oxidize faster, which results in the deterioration of asphalt's rheological characteristics that can lead to pavement distresses. This paper investigates merits of bio-char to improve asphalt aging susceptibility by blending one control binder (PG 64-22) and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 22 Apr 2015 · 9,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA BIO-SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM USING EFFICIENT ALGORITHM FOR INFORMATION SHARING APPLICATIONSShobhanjaly P. Nair, K. Silambarasan, N. Bindhu, R. SrinivasanBio-Surveillance represents a health information system for public that stores and integrates health related information and data across a variety of data. Bio-surveillance strategies are projected for detection of disease outbreaks from existing diagnostic data, but their performance is typically not understandable. The focus of the paper is to develop a bio-surveillance system which can serve the aim of biosurveillance … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 17 Jun 2014 · 7,038 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Maturity Level in Laying Hen Manure by Chemical and Thermogravimetric AnalysisAlice Dall’Ara, Francesco Antolini, Laura Billi et al.This study aims at investigating maturity levels in manure from laying hens in order to encourage its agronomic re-utilization. In fact the use of unstable/insufficiently mature manure could potentially damage both soils and crops. Effective, easy to reproduce methods are needed in order to assess bio-stabilisation and maturity levels, particularly for biomass that has not undergone conventional composting. This study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComposition-Explicit Distillation Curves of Waste Lubricant Oils and Resourced Crude Oil: A Diagnostic for Re-Refining and EvaluationLisa Starkey Ott, Beverly L. Smith, Thomas J. BrunoProblem statement: We have recently introduced several important improvements in the measurement of distillation curves for complex fluids. The modifications include a composition-explicit data channel for each distillate fraction and temperature measurements that are true thermodynamic state points that can be modeled with an equation of state. The composition-explicit information is achieved with a sampling approach that allows precise qualitative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,101 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of a Waste Stabilization Pond in a Rural Area in EgyptMahassen M.E.D. Ghazy, Waled M.E. Senousy, Azza M.A. Aatty, Mohammed KamelThe performance evaluation of the waste stabilization pond (WSP) as a model of domestic wastewater treatment unit in rural area was carried out. The unit comprised of anaerobic, facultative and maturation ponds in two series. The effluents of WSP which are discharged in the drain had the BOD reduced to 109-245 mg L-1 (Mean = 145.3 mg L-1, 50.65% removal), … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 8,520 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTribological Performance of Materials Under Bio-Three Body AbrasionJasem G. Alotaibi, Ako K. Omer, Nbhan D Salih, Belal F. YousifThis study aims to investigate the effects of seed grinding process on the tribological characteristics of components in agricultural machines. The objective is to conduct the the effect of third body presence such as seeds on the tribological behavior of agriculture machines and evaluate the fracture mechanism of the seeds under three body abrasion loading conditions. The work consists of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 14 Jul 2020 · 7,178 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordConstruction of Recombinant Bioleaching Bacteria Thiobacillus ferrooxidans with Fluoride-Resistant ActivityYun-Chang Cao, Hong-Bo Wen, Nan Hu et al.Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is an important bioleaching bacterium, widely used in leaching, recovery of low-grade metals and environmental bioremediation. In bio-metallurgy industry, fluoride existing in some hard rock uranium deposits in south China severely affects the bacteria viability and inhibit leaching reproduction. In this study, the flr-4 gene that has strong resistance to fluorine ion in Caenorhabditis elegans, was cloned into … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 23 May 2018 · 11,341 accessesView PDFCite
