Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRole of Evaporation in Degrading the "Oil Lakes"Al Rashed Ahamad, Colin BarkerProblem statement: Oil Spills are degraded by aerobic bacteria, water washing, evaporation and oxidation. In the absence of water the first two of these processes cannot operate. This is the situation in the low rainfall environment of the Kuwaiti desert where oil lakes still persist 20 years after the initial spills. The oils contain longer chain n-alkanes but have lost … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 6,747 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Data Security Approach Based on GAN Teganographyand AES-RSA Encryption in a Distributed SystemDerrick Méthode Bagaza, Abraham Walake, Mamoudou Kourouma, Blaise Omer YenkeData security in distributed environments has become a major challenge due to the dispersion of resources, the expansion of the attack surface, and the increasing sophistication of cyber threats. Although traditional mechanisms such as data encryption, multi-factor authentication, and access control systems help to strengthen information protection, these approaches still have certain limitations when faced with advanced attacks and human … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 8 · 28 Jul 2026 · 1,062 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Soil Loss Using GIS and RUSLE Model in Bakiya River Basin (BRB), Central NepalSujan Bista, Naresh Kazi Tamrakar, Kishor Rimal, Arju BhattaraiSoil erosion is the major geological hazard in the fragile landscape of Sub-Himalaya. This study examines the susceptibility of the Bakiya River Basin (BRB) in Central Nepal to soil erosion because of its steep topography, fragile geology, the impact of intense monsoon rainfall, and the lack of a direct monitoring mechanism available for rainfall-runoff. This study examines the spatial variations … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 20 Oct 2025 · 3,384 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractBasics of Photocatalysis and Different Strategy for Enhancing the Photocatalytic EfficiencyYuvaraj M. Hunge, Anuja A. Yadav, Babasaheb M. MohiteThis review reports on the basic mechanism of photocatalysis and different ways of enhancing the photocatalytic efficiency. It further examines enhancement of the photocatalytic property using the different combinations of semiconductor oxides (TiO2, ZnO, stratified WO3/TiO2, WO3/ZnO). TiO2, ZnO semiconductors have been widely used from the recent few decades in the photocatalytic degradation process, but the main drawback of these … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 21 May 2020 · 7,738 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnveiling the Potential of Dombeya buettneri K.Schum As a Drug Agent: Molecular Docking of Compounds With Enzymes Linked to Diabetes and Neurodegenerative DiseaseEsther Emem Nwanna, Samuel Chima Ugbaja et al.This study investigated the mechanisms of Dombeya buettneri (snowball leafy) extracts on diabetes, hypertension, and neurodegenerative diseases. It compared extracts obtained using steep water (a by-product of corn wet milling) and aqueous water. The extracts were analyzed for total phenol, total flavonoid content, antioxidant activities such as FRAP, ABTS, NO, DPPH, iron-induced lipid peroxidation assay, degradation of deoxyribose (Fenton’s reaction), … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2026 · 2,025 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControlled Release Behaviors of Tribenuron Methyl Herbicide and Potassium Nitrate Fertilizer from Natural Polymer Blended Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Hydrogel MicrospheresFawzi Habeeb Jabrail, Wajeeh Mohammed Jamil, Maher Zeki Elsabee, Kailash Chandra GuptaPolyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) hydrogel microspheres for controlled release of fertilizer (KNO3) and Tribenuron Methyl Herbicide (TBM) were prepared by blending the naturally occurring Alginate (AL) and Pectin (PE). The cross-linking in PVA hydrogel microspheres was carried out by varying the amount of glutaraldehyde from 0.5-1.0 wt%. To control the loading and release properties of PVA hydrogel microspheres, a small amount … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 5 · 13 Jul 2019 · 7,673 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-Timescale Microscopic Theory for Radiation Degradation of Electronic and Optoelectronic DevicesDanhong Huang, Fei Gao, D.A. Cardimona et al.A multi-timescale hybrid model is proposed to study microscopically the degraded performance of electronic devices, covering three individual stages of radiation effects studies, including ultra-fast displacement cascade, intermediate defect stabilization and cluster formation, as well as slow defect reaction and migration. Realistic interatomic potentials are employed in molecular-dynamics calculations for the first two stages up to 100 ns as well … …Space Science International, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 15 Jun 2015 · 10,235 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSTUDY OF THE POSSIBILITY OF POLYTYPE 3C SILICON CARBIDE BULK CRYSTALS GROWING FOR USE IN POWER DEVICESLebedev Alexander Alexandrovich, Bulat Pavel ViktorovichDue to its electro-physical parameters, the silicon carbide is a promising material for power devices, including the microwave range. In recent years there has been considerable progress in the development of power devices, based on SiC. Serious problem, which hinders the widespread commercialization of SiC bipolar power devices, is the p-n structures degradation during high densities of passing forward current. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 5 Dec 2014 · 6,348 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReaction Kinetics of Versatile Peroxidase for the Degradation of Lignin CompoundsN. Busse, D. Wagner, M. Kraume, P. CzermakThe H2O2-dependent degradation of adlerol by a crude versatile peroxidase from Bjerkandera adusta, a new ligninolytic enzyme, was investigated. Adlerol (1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-1,3-propanediol)) is a non phenolic β-O-4 dimer whose structural architecture represents the most abundant unit (50-65%) of the valuable renewable biopolymer lignin. Lignin removel plays a key role in utilizing lignocellulosic biomass in biorefineries. Steady state analyses in the µL … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2013 · 9,263 accessesView PDFCite
