Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEvaluating the Effect of Soil Particle Characterization on Internal Friction AngleArezou Rasti, Hamid Ranjkesh Adarmanabadi, Maria Pineda, Jesse ReinikainenOne of the critical design parameters used in evaluating soil structure is the friction angle, derived from Mohr's Circle failure criterion. The soil friction angle is an engineering parameter estimated in the laboratory to quantify the soil shear strength in geotechnical applications. This paper indicates an experimental study investigating the impact of particle size on different sandy soils shear strength … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 21 Feb 2021 · 8,890 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA BIOPHYSIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF SETTLED LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY HOUSING DUSTSCarresse Gerald, Christi McPherson, Tha’Mes McDaniel et al.The levels and composition of agricultural dusts are influenced by animal species, production strategy, housing type and ventilation efficiency. Agricultural dust within animal houses is complex and consists of feed particles, microbes and their products, dander, fecal matter, gases, metals and other organic and inorganic components. Livestock and poultry production facilities may be categorized as confinement, semi-confinement or pasture-based. Characterization … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 16 Jan 2014 · 8,080 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction Optimization of Essential Oil from Medicago hispida and Preliminary Inhibitory Mechanism Against Escherichia coliXiulan Chu, Qianfeng Chen, Tong Wang et al.In this study, the extraction optimization, characterization, antioxidant evaluation and preliminary inhibitory mechanism against Escherichia coli of the essential oil from dried Medicago hispida (EOMH) were explored to uncover the pending questions that had been raised in our previous work and to enlarge the industrial potential of EOMH production. The optimal parameters for EOMH extraction were: Extraction time of 7 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 20 Nov 2021 · 5,789 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractZinc Composition and its Effect on Magnetic Properties of Nickel-Zinc Ferrite Prepared Via Sol-gel TechniqueLee Kean Chuan, Hasnah Mohd ZaidNickel-Zinc (Ni-Zn) ferrite (Ni1-xZnxFe2O4) with different Zinc composition (x = 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0) were prepared and synthesized by applying sol-gel technique and the morphological characterization is done by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) to confirm the formation of Ni-Zn ferrite nanoparticle and estimate the particle sizes. Magnetic study was also performed using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 8 Jan 2018 · 8,064 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of the Characteristics of Thulium Doped Alumina Nanoparticles for Applications in Silica-Based FibersNur Atiqa Bt Rahmat, Hairul Azhar Abd Rashid, H.Y. Wong, Mukter ZamanIt is reported that during the fabrication of doping RE ions into the silica preform, the distribution of particles is inhomogeneous and becomes uneven throughout the fiber which lead to unwanted spectroscopic characteristics. It is assumed that by using thulium doped with alumina, the problem with the inhomogeneity of the particles inside the fiber can be solved. With the incorporation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2017 · 7,411 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Clean-Green Synthesis of Platinum Nanoparticles Utilizing a Pernicious Weed Lantana (Lantana Camara)Musthafa O. Mavukkandy, Sudip Chakraborty, Tasneem Abbasi, Shahid A. AbbasiA rapid, reproducible single step method is proposed for synthesizing platinum nanoparticles using an invasive weed lantana (Lantana camara, L). The method involves mixing of platinum (VI) solution, lantana leaf extract and ascorbic acid in appropriate concentrations and keeping the mixture at 95°C for 8 min. The collective action of ascorbic acid and leaf extract reduced the chloroplatinic acid to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2016 · 10,447 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE ADVERSE EFFECT OF STEEL PARTICLE CONTAMINANTS ON FATIGUE LIFE OF GREASE LUBRICATED BALL BEARINGSA. Stathis, Th. Costopoulos, D. Koulocheris, K. RaptisThe rating life of ball bearings is reduced when hard particle contaminants are present in the lubricant. Usually, this life reduction is taken into account in the calculation of modified rating life by using the contamination factor through a general characterization of the lubrication conditions. However, the impact of contaminant’s variables such as size, hardness and concentration level has to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 14 Jul 2014 · 6,991 accessesView PDFCite

Zain, Rashid Atta Khan, Abdulbari Abdulrahman AhmedProblem statement: Heavy metal accumulation in waste water could affect aquatic life, human health and overall ecosystem adversely. Therefore, in recent years much emphasis has been given for the use of industrial waste material as low cost adsorbents for removal of metallic contaminants from waste water. Approach: Present study deals with the adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of Cu (II) cation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,933 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanical Strength and Durability Properties of High Performance Mortar Containing Densified Silica FumeCheah Chee Ban, Mahyuddin RamliProblem statement: Numerous data and information on pozzolanic reaction and microfiller properties of silica fume were derived from laboratory investigation on silica fume in undensified form. Currently, due to low bulk density of undensified silica fume which poses problem in transportation and handling of the material, silica fume are commercially supplied in densified form. Densification process used to increase bulk … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,956 accessesView PDFCite
