EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractChasing the Fat Demon: Fat Chance, Buddy?David L. Katz, Joachim Storsberg, Christian SchmidtScience is an interesting profession. At times, one could get caught up in his or her own world of thoughts, perception, far away from reality, sometimes referred to as the proverbial ivory tower (Lederberg, 1972). Science for the sake of science is, per se, not without merit, with our fragmented understanding of a given issue providing ample justification for experimentation … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 29 May 2017 · 8,134 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of Factors Influencing Design Team Attributes in Green BuildingsMohamed S. Elforgani, Ismail RahmatProblem statement: Buildings contribute significantly global environmental problems. Better design can minimize these impacts. Design Green Building (DGB) aims to reduce buildings' impact on the environment. However, the green design performance depends on design team attributes. In addition, the Governance System (GS) and Client Quality (CQ) as external factors have influence on Design Team Attributes (DTA) of green building. Approach: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,962 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Affecting the Synthesis and Formation of Single-Phase Barium Hexaferrite by a Technique of Oxalate PrecursorQ. MohsenProblem statement: Barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19), is of great importance as permanent magnets, particularly for magnetic recording as well as in microwave devices. Approach: The aim of this study was to synthesize Stoichiometric and single-phase barium hexaferrite through a technique of oxalate precursor. Effects of different Fe3+/Ba2+ mole ratio and annealing temperature on the particle size, microstructure and magnetic properties of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,922 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControlling the Morphology of Nano-Hybrid MaterialsAbdullah I. Al JaafariProblem statement: It is known that layer double hydroxide is one of the nano ordered layered compounds and possesses plate-like morphology if carefully crystallized. Approach: In this study, Co-Sn LDH consisting of divalent and tetravalent cations was prepared with new morphology. XRD patterns of the prepared Co-Sn LDH showed that the interlayer spacing of the LDH was 0.78 nm and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,886 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStability of Neodymium(III) Complexes of 4-Hydroxycoumarins with Anticoagulant ActivityIrena Kostova, Irina NikolovaComplexes of neodymium(III) with 4-hydroxy-3-(3-oxo-1-phenylbutyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one, 4-hydroxy-3-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-oxobutyl]-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one and 4-hydroxy-3-[1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-oxobutyl]-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one were synthesized by mixing of water solutions of neodymium(III) nitrate and the respective ligands, in amounts equal to metal: ligand molar ratio of 1: 3. The complexes were characterized and identified by elemental analysis, conductivity, IR and 1H NMR spectral data.
