Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsElapse Time Factor on Induced Vegetative Moisture Uptake in an Unsaturated SoilMuazu Mohammed Abdullahi, Nazri Bn Ali, Kamarudin Bn Haj AhmedProblem statement: Soil consolidation is generally time dependent, therefore soil displacement as a result root water uptake is space and time dependent. The time-dependent nature of abstraction of ground water by vegetation need to be evaluated in order understand the effect of time elapse on matric suction a generation and subsequent ground displacement. Approach: The current approach used the theory … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 4 Nov 2010 · 7,710 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBioengineering Assessment on Sloppy GroundMu'azu Mohammed Abdullahi, Nazri Bn Ali, Kamarudin Bn Haj AhmedProblem statement: Soft engineering solution of sloppy surface utilizes mechanical and hydrological effects of vegetation. The hydrological effects driven by transpiration, induces an increase in matric suction and consequently tension also increase along with the decrease of moisture. Therefore once the horizontal stress of the soil exceeds the limit of tensile strain of the soil cracks occurs. Approach: The negative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSimulation of Vegetative Induced Deformation in an Unsaturated SoilNazri Bn Ali, Mu’azu Mohammed AbdullahiProblem statement: Tree root water-uptake increases soil strength by increasing the soil matric suction due to pore pressure dissipation in a soil mass, inducing increases in vertical total stress or water extraction, the effective stress to which the soil strata is subjected to may also increase. This causes volume change which might be detrimental to geotechnical structures and shallow foundation. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExpression of Metallothionein-Like Protein 2B Gene Induced by Different Concentrations of Copper in White Spruce (Picea glauca)Megan McKergow, Kabwe NkongoloThe alterations to the expressions of metal transporter genes can induce metal ion uptake to maintain cell homeostasis when metal concentrations are low. Metallothioneins (MTs) are a class of low molecular mass (4-8 kDa), cysteine (Cys)-rich proteins that can bind metals via the thiol groups of their Cys residues. Studies on MT gene expressions in higher plants, such as conifers, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 25 Dec 2022 · 5,118 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Cinnamomum cassia Stem-Bark Extracts on the Synthesis and Secretion of Insulin in RIN-m5F CellsAnanias Hodi Kgopa, Sebolaishi Doris Makhubela, Motetelo Alfred Mogale, Leshweni Jerry ShaiCinnamomum cassia (C. cassia) crude stem-bark extracts possess some hypoglycemic properties through inhibiting the uptake of glucose by the intestines and/or enhancing insulin sensitivity. To further investigate the mechanism through which the hypoglycemic effect is exerted, this research explored the influence of the extracts of the crude stem-bark of C. cassia, with various polarities, on particular aspects of glucose consumption … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 5 Apr 2022 · 5,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Seasonal Variations on Typha capensis and Heliconia psittacorum in the Remediation of Heavy Metals from Soil and WaterWiafe Samuel, Buamah Richard, Owusu MichaelDifferent plant species have been used in the remediation of different heavy metals. The performance of a macrophyte to remediate heavy metals may be dependent on a lot of factors which may include water chemistry, metal solubilityand temperature. The objective of this research was to ascertain the effects of seasonal variations on the remediation of heavy metals. To this end,two … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 12 · 31 Jan 2019 · 7,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Investigation of Silica Gel-Water Solar Adsorption Cooling System with SimulinkGhilen Najeh, Messai Souad, Gabsi Slimane et al.This paper aims to study a numerical model of an adsorption chiller driven with solar energy that is confronted to experimental measurements. This article deals with numerical study of refrigeration systems using a pair of silica gel and water with simulink. The results include the temperature of desorber, the temperature of chilled, cooling and hot water, temperature of two adsorption/desorption … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 8 · 10 Aug 2017 · 8,488 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Food Additives Nitrite and Nitrate and Microbiological Safety of Food ProductsStefanie Müller-Herbst, Anna Mühlig, Jan Kabisch et al.In Germany, raw sausages are typically produced according to a technology referred to as hurdle technology (Leistner, 2000). The combination of several stressful conditions should successfully inhibit growth and survival of pathogenic bacteria, which can be regularly found in raw pork or beef material (Mataragas et al., 2008; Rhoades et al., 2009). Hurdles applied during raw sausage fermentation are the … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 29 Jun 2015 · 10,378 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPROVING PHOSPHORUS NUTRITION OF COTTONWalter B. Gordon, Larry Murphy, Pawel WiatrakCrop recovery of applied Phosphorus (P) fertilizer can be low, especially during season of low soil temperature, which decreases plant root growth and nutrient uptake. The H2PO4- or HPO4-2 anions readily react with soil cations such as Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe) and Aluminum (Al) to produce various phosphate compounds of very limited water solubility. Specialty Fertilizer Products (SFP), … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 10 May 2014 · 7,110 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION FOR SALT STRESS TOLERANCE IN TWO STRAWBERRY CULTIVARSW. Al-Shorafa, A. Mahadeen, K. Al-AbsiSalt stress conditions have been found to destroy the vital physiological process in plant where slower cell division and cell enlargement or both and limit mineral nutrient uptake with clearly nutritional imbalance. A greenhouse pot experiment was carried out at Agricultural Research Station, Mu’tah University, Jordan to evaluate growth responses and mineral composition of two strawberry cultivars to salt stress … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 14 Apr 2014 · 7,697 accessesView PDFCite
