Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Effect of Ultrasound Processing and Exogenous Cellulase Supplementation on the Ruminal Degradability of Palm Date SeedsAhmed Aboragah, Mohammed G. Embaby, Mevlüt Günal, Amer A. AbuGhazalehThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of sonication and enzyme supplements on rumen degradability of date palm seeds (DPS). The effect of alkali-assisted sonication and the addition of cellulase enzyme supplements (40 endoglucanase units/g dry matter) derived from Aspergillus niger or Trichoderma longibrachiatum on DPS ruminal degradability were evaluated under in vitro conditions. The in vitro … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 24 Aug 2019 · 7,419 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCytotoxic Activity of Tinospora crispa Crude Extracts (Stem) Against K562 Human Leukemia CellsNormah Awang, Haziratul Iffah Ruzali, Rapidah Mohamad et al.Tinospora crispa (T. crispa) is traditionally used as an herbal medicine for treatment of gout and is an analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antihyperuricemic agent. Cytotoxicity of hexane, dichloromethane, ethanol and aqueous extracts of T. crispa stem against K562 cells was assessed. Crude extracts of T. crispa stem were obtained by sonication and maceration methods. T. crispa stem powder was macerated and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 11 May 2019 · 7,870 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Simulation Study of Enhanced Distillation Using Ultrasound Waves for the Separation of Azeotropic MixturesTaha Mahdi, Ammar Emad Al-KawazThe potential of ultrasound waves to enhance distillation system for azeotropic mixture is examined through process flowsheeting using Aspen Plus. Since sonication is not a standard feature in the software library, a mathematical model of the proposed distillation system is developed based on first principles in Aspen Custom Modeler and later exported to Aspen Plus environment for process simulation and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 2 Jan 2018 · 8,411 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffectiveness of Ultrasound on the Destruction of E. coliMohammad H. DehghaniThe aim of this study was to investigate the impact of sonication as a disinfection method for determining the effectiveness of ultrasound waves on the inactivation of E. coli. Ultrasound waves at a frequency of 42 kHz were used to expose aqueous suspension of E. coli. Ultrasound waves display a strong influence on the rate of E. coli disruption in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,636 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Graphene Oxide via Liquid Exfoliation Using Self-Custom-Made Tweeter Piezoelectric Ultrasound Generator and Assisted by Surfactant from Commercial DetergentAchmad Ainul Fikri, Aminah Nur Aisyah, Suhufa Alfarisa, Wipsar Sunu Brams DwandaruRapid progress in nanotechnology requires the production of novel nanomaterials. This study aims to synthesize Graphene Oxide (GO) via the Liquid Exfoliation (LE) method using a self-custom-made tweeter piezoelectric system as the ultrasound generator. Linear Alkylbenzena Sulfonate (LAS) surfactant contained in commercial detergent is used to assist the exfoliation process. This synthesis method is simple, inexpensive and may produce GO … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 3 Nov 2016 · 7,251 accessesView PDF Cite
