Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleFuel and Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Potentials by Appropriate Fuel Switching and Technology Improvement in the Canadian Electricity Generation SectorFarshid Zabihian, Alan S. FungProblem statement: In recent years, Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and their potential effects on global climate change have been a worldwide concern. According to International Energy Agency (IEA), power generation contributes more than half of the global GHG emissions. Approach: Purpose of this study is to examine GHG emission reduction potentials in the Canadian electricity generation sector through fuel switching … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,031 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiodegradation of Low-Density Polyethylene Film by UV Irradiated and Non-Irradiated Pseudomonas Aeruginosa D5Olusola Adeoye Oluwole, Temitayo Omotunde Olowomofe, Ikeoluwa Gloria OlaniyanLow-density polyethylene (LDPE) constitutes 60% of total plastic production, and non-degradable polyethylene carry bags are the most common type of solid waste found. Their recalcitrance in the environment is thus a major concern for environmentalists. This study investigated the potential of Ultraviolet (UV) induced mutation in enhancing biodegradation of LDPE films by two diesel degrading bacteria, Alcaligenes faecalis D4 and … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 8 Oct 2025 · 3,629 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemediation of Feedlot Nutrients Runoff by Electrocoagulation ProcessArjun Thapa, Shafiqur Rahman, Md. Saidul BorhanNutrient runoff from Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) may cause ground and surface water pollution. Scientists and researchers are continually searching for appropriate technologies to mitigate feedlot nutrient runoff pollution. In this study, suitability of electrocoagulation treatment process was examined under laboratory conditions to mitigate nutrient pollutants from the feedlot runoff. Feedlot runoff was treated with three different type of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 9 Nov 2015 · 7,080 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPeriodic Validation of High Antidiabetic Potentials of Unripe Plantain in Comparison with Glibenclamide and FansidarE. O. Jimmy, M. A. OkonProblem statement: The antidiabetic potentials of aqueous extract of musa paradisciaca (unripe plantain fruit) were investigated in alloxan induced diabetic rats. The extract at a dosage of 120 mg kg-1 produced a significant (p<0.001) reduction in glucose level by 85% on day 7, 78% on day 14, 64% on day 21 and 44% on day 28. Approach: The extract at … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 22 Mar 2012 · 7,997 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization and Evaluation of Algaof Kaolin Deposits of Yemen for Industrial ApplicationAref A. AL-Shameri, Lei Xin RongProblem statement: The Barat-Algaof kaolin deposits are characterized and evaluated for its potentials as an industrial raw material. Approach: This research studied the total mineralogical composition of the kaolin deposit, chemical and physical properties as well as intercalation of kaolinite by urea. Using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Laser particle size, Centrifuge, data from UK (England) kaolin standard … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,833 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransmission Congestion Management by Determining Optimal Location of FACTS Devices in Deregulated Power SystemsSeyed Abbas Taher, Hadi BesharatIn a deregulated electricity market, it may always not be possible to dispatch all of the contracted power transactions due to congestion of the transmission corridors. The ongoing power system restructuring requires an opening of unused potentials of transmission system due to environmental, right-of-way and cost problems which are major hurdles for power transmission network expansion. Flexible ac transmission systems … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,505 accessesView PDF Cite

Pilat (Hymenochaetaceae) Significantly Inhibits the Growth of Sarcoma 180 by Inducing ApoptosisCaifa Chen, Weifa Zheng, Xiaowen Gao et al.Inonotus obliquus (Fr.) Pilat (Hymenochaetaceae) has been widely used as a folk medicine to treat various cancers in Russia, Poland and most of Baltic countries for literally more than four centuries. However, in spite of its therapeutic significance for cancers, this fungus has not been studied systematically for the mechanisms of antitumor activity. In this study, we report the effects … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 21,110 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIn-vitro Larvicidal Potentials of Achillea Extracts on Strongylid LarvaeLyudmila Lider, Yerlan Suleimen, Gulnur Mamytbekova et al.Strongylid infections remain among the most widespread and clinically significant helminthoses in horses, with increasing concerns regarding anthelmintic resistance. Against this background, we investigated the in-vitro larvicidal activity of Achillea salicifolia and Achillea setacea extracts against strongylid larvae. We evaluated concentrations of 20, 30, and 40% at exposure times of 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 h (n = 3).
