Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCombining SURF and MSER along with Color Features for Image Retrieval System Based on Bag of Visual WordsHeba A. ElnemrContent-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has received an extensive attention from researchers due to the rapid growing and widespread of image databases. Despite the massive research efforts consumed for CBIR, the completely satisfactory results have not yet been attained. In this article, we offer a new CBIR technique that relies on extracting Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) and Maximally Stable Extremal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 9 May 2016 · 7,704 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIncreasing the Critical Micellar Concentration (CMC) of Surfactants Enhances the Removal of Pathogenic Bacteria, P. Aeruginosa, and S. Aureus from WastewaterImen Laadouze, Emna Grami et al.Antimicrobial effects of increasing Critical Micellar Concentration (CMCn) (n varying from 1-12) on Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 over time of 5-, 10, and 20-minute exposures were evaluated. Three types of surfactants (Cetyltrime Thylammonium Ammonium Bromide (CTAB), Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS), and TX-100) were evaluated. The results showed that CTAB had the greatest impact on both bacterial … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 8 May 2026 · 1,992 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparative Analysis of Surface Microhardness and Antimicrobial Activity of Conventional and Bioactive Composite Materials for Dental RestorationsBruno Fongaro Dalbosco, Rafael da Silva Vanolli, Poliana Maria de Faveri Cardoso et al.This study evaluated the fluoride release capability, antimicrobial activity, and surface microhardness of bioactive composite resins, critical properties for the effectiveness and durability of dental materials in restorative procedures. Conventional and bioactive composite resins with varying viscosities were tested. Specimens of each resin type were prepared and stored in physiological saline solution for 24 hours to simulate oral conditions.

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimization of the Fermentation Medium of Streptomyces ahygroscopicus ΔnysB, a Tetramycin Producing Strain, by the Response Surface MethodXiao Wang, Yao Dong, Xin Chen et al.Streptomyces ahygroscopicus ΔnysB is a genetically engineered strain that produces tetramycin by blocking the competition nystatin pathway. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to optimize its fermentation medium composition. Taking the yield of tetramycin as the response value, the effects of corn starch, glucose, fish peptone, (NH4)2SO4, KH2PO4, and CH3COONa on the yield of tetramycin were investigated by the Plackett-Burman … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 9 Apr 2024 · 5,319 accessesView PDF Cite

Literature ReviewOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimizing the Surface-Active Performances of Cat-Anionic Mixtures: A Short ReviewCamillo A. La MesaMixtures of oppositely charged surfactants are used for applications requiring extensive foaming. This holds true for cat-anionic systems. Their bulk behavior is known in detail, when surface, or interface, properties do not attract the same attention. The thermodynamic features of such systems and the strategies interrelating the behavior in bulk to that at surfaces are outlined. Such systems are strongly … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 4 Nov 2023 · 4,931 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimization of Ultrasonic-Assisted Total Flavonoids Extraction from Flower of Albizia Julibrissin Durazz. by Response Surface Methodology for Characterization of Chemical Profile and Evaluation of Antioxidant and Tyrosinase Inhibitory ActivitiesYijie Cheng, Yuwen Zhang, Hanzhang Sun et al.To investigate the flavonoids in flower of Albizia julibrissin (‘He Huan Hua’ in Chinese), the ultrasonic-assisted extraction of total flavonoids from ‘He Huan Hua’ was optimized by response surface methodology and the chemical profile was characterized by HPLC- QTOF-MS/MS. What’s more, the antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory activities of ‘He Huan Hua’ were also evaluated in this study. The extraction time, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2022 · 6,733 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUse of Response Surface Methodology for Optimization of Nickel Adsorption in an Aqueous Solution by ClayNesrine Turki, Nesrine Boujelben, Zaineb Bakari, Jalel BouzidIn this study, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction and BET surface area (SBET) methods were employed to characterize the adsorbent. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was consider as a good method to assess Ni adsorption treatment and Box-Behnken design was used to examine simultaneous the effects of different experimental variables (pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time). Experimental results showed high adsorption … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 5 · 24 Nov 2021 · 6,292 accessesView PDF Cite
