Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStudy of Surface Morphology and Effectiveness of Common Nasopharyngeal Masks: A Case of Kathmandu, NepalPrasidha Raj Neupane, Iswor Bajracharya, Sunil Babu KhatryFacemasks are widely used worldwide to prevent inhaling airborneparticles and viruses, especially after the outbreak of COVID-19. To assess theeffectiveness of various facemasks against PM10 and PM2.5,experiments with a mannequin head were conducted at 10 and 55 LPM airflowrates. A total of 38 masks, including 26 CMs, 7 SMs, and 5 N95 masks, weretested against PM10 and PM2.5 at 55 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 7 Dec 2023 · 5,830 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSimulation Studies on A Cross Flow Plate Fin Heat ExchangerM. Thirumarimurugan, T. Kannadasan, E. RamasamyCompact heat exchangers which were initially developed for the aerospace industries in the 1940s have been considerably improved in the past few years. The main reasons for the good performance of compact heat exchangers are their special design which includes turbulent which in turn use high heat transfer coefficient and resists fouling, and maximum temperature driving force between the hot … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,241 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMANAT: A Filtering-Based Method for Denoising Nonuniform Photogrammetric Point CloudsYun Sin Chong, Hui Hui Wang, Yin Chai WangThree-dimensional point clouds reconstructed from photogrammetry often exhibit noise and non-uniform sampling density, which challenges existing denoising methods that rely on precise normal estimation or extensive parameter tuning. This study presents the Multi Attribute Neighbour Attraction Technique (MANAT), a novel single-stage, density-adaptive filtering method that jointly leverages spatial position, surface normals, and color as inherent photogrammetric attributes for unified noise … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 28 Apr 2026 · 1,531 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative 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.

Zhumataуeva, Bakhytzhan A. Duissembekov, Yerlan Dutbayev et al.The purpose of the study was to perform genetic identification of the strains of fungi of the Beauveria genus and evaluate the effect of abiotic factors on the growth and survival of colonies and the productivity of conidia of these fungi, as well as to determine the biological effectiveness of the semi-preparative form of the drug based on Beauveria bassiana … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2022 · 5,710 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Hydrolysis Conditions for Obtaining Antithrombotic Peptides from Tenebrio Molitor LarvaeFangyuan Chen, Han Jiang, Yini Gan et al.Tenebrio molitor larvae was hydrolyzed by pepsin and trypsin for preparing high antithrombotic activity hydrolysate. The significant variables were selected according to the Plackett-Burman design and further optimized by the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Four factors, including substrate concentration, pepsin digestion time, pepsin amount and trypsin amount, respectively, influenced significantly on the hydrolysis effectiveness. The best hydrolysis conditions obtained using … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 20 May 2019 · 8,725 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAI-Based Feature Extraction Approaches for Dual Modalities of Autism Spectrum Disorder NeuroimagesMeenakshi Malviya, Chandra J, Nagendra NHigh-dimensional data, lower detection accuracy, susceptibility to manual errors, and the requirement of clinical experts are some drawbacks of conventional classification models available for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) detection. To address these challenges and explore the affiliated information from advanced imaging modalities such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in structural MRI (sMRI) and resting state-functional MRI (rs-fMRI), the study applied … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 11 · 28 Sep 2024 · 5,096 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Effects of Application of Silica Fume to Reduce Asphalt Oxidative AgingNader Abutalib, Elham H. Fini, Sassan Aflaki, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThis paper investigates the feasibility of using silica fume to enhance the rheological properties of asphalt binder. It has been widely reported that asphalt binder oxidation is one of the phenomena that reduces the service life of asphalt pavement by negatively impacting its rheological properties. This in turn can lead to a more brittle pavement which is more prone to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 22 Apr 2015 · 8,492 accessesView PDF Cite
