Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUnconventional Approach for Demineralization of Deproteinized Crustacean Shells for Chitin ProductionN.S. Mahmoud, A.E. Ghaly, F. ArabChitin is a versatile environmentally friendly modern material. It has a wide range of applications in areas such as water treatment, pulp and paper, biomedical devices and therapies, cosmetics, membrane technology and biotechnology and food applications. Crustacean waste is the most important chitin source for commercial use. Demineralization is an important step in the chitin purification process from crustacean waste. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,799 accessesView PDFCite
Technical ReportOpen accessIn the keywordsDental Caries Etiology: A Modified Six-Factor Model and Venn DiagramJohn Sami MamounDietary fermentable carbohydrates or sucrose may be metabolized by cariogenic bacteria at a specific tooth surface site, which may result in an episode of the site having a pH of 5.5 or less, that may cause temporary net demineralization. Numerous demineralization episodes at a specific tooth surface may result in a carious lesion if saliva does not remineralize the surface … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2025 · 3,698 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDeveloping a System for Antibacterial Treatment of Dental Caries using Culture Based ApproachM. Mishra, S. Ghosh, L. E. Alex et al.Problem statement: Dental caries is a chronic disease worldwide, caused mainly by microbes. The orthograde approaches still remain the only option of treatment. Lack of rapid antibiotic sensitivity determination of the dental pathogen is a rate limiting step in the field of Dental Microbiology. Approach: The culture dependent analysis was used for the study of oral microflora from five healthy … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 18 May 2012 · 9,061 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDesalination of Saline Sludges Using Ion-Exchange Column with ZeoliteA.E. Ghaly, M. VermaA flushing process followed by a zeolite based ion-exchange process were developed for the treatment of saline sludges from oil and gas exploration sites. The particle size distribution of sludge sample indicated the presence of very fine sand and clay. The electrical conductivity of the sludge was 42.2 dS m-1 indicating very saline sludge and the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,062 accessesView PDFCite
