Bioconversion of Keratin Wastes Using Keratinolytic Microorganisms to Generate Value-Added Products by Muhammed Seid Anbesaw

“…Various researches have been studied about the source, disposal mechanisms, techniques of hydrolysis, potential use, and physical and chemical properties of keratin wastes. However, there is negligible information with regard to the use of keratin wastes as media supplements for the growth of keratinolytic microorganisms and silver retrieval from photographic and used X-ray films. …”

Numerical Modeling of Local Scour Depth at Non-Uniform Piers by Dakheel Ahmed A., Ismaeel Abaas J., Makki Jamal S.

“…Based on the statistical criteria, it may be concluded that the model’s results were promising because the discrepancy between the numerical and experimental models is negligible. The Froude number has been demonstrated to be a crucial factor that must be considered during the construction of piers, since reducing it will result in a decrease in longitudinal velocity and turbulent kinetic energy. …”

Modeling the effect of extrusion parameters on density of biomass pellet using artificial neural network by Abedin Zafari, Mohammad Hossein Kianmehr, Rahman Abdolahzadeh

“…Also, the results of statistical analysis indicate that moisture content, speed of piston, and particle size significantly affected (P < 0.01) the density of pellets while the influence of die length was negligible (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The results indicate that a properly trained neural network can be used to predict effect of input variable on pellet density. …”

Influence of Tunneling in Cohesionless Soil for Different Tunnel Geometry and Volume Loss under Greenfield Condition by Raja Kanagaraju, Premalatha Krishnamurthy

“…From literature, for Greenfield condition the ground settlement equal to 10 mm is taken as the minimum value to map the influencing zone considering the fact that the structure which lies beyond this zone would undergo negligible settlement. Settlement trough and 10 mm settlement contour characteristics are presented for different tunnel sizes placed at the same depth and the same tunnel size placed at different depths, respectively. …”

Linum usitatissimum Delivery over Chitosan Nanobiopolymer: Enhanced Effects on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Condition by Abolfazl Bayrami, Maryam Sojoudi, Shima Rahim Pouran, Aziz Habibi-Yangjeh, Sanaz Sojoudi

“…After 16 days of treatment, CHIT-FSE represented the best performance for controlling the serum levels of the studied biochemical (lipid profile and blood glucose level) and hormonal (insulin, testosterone, luteinizing, and follicle-stimulating hormone) parameters. Considering the negligible therapeutic activity of CHIT-TPP, the enhanced activity of CHIT-FSE compared to only FSE was expounded based on the potent action of chitosan nanoparticles in enhanced stabilization, bioavailability, transport, and permeability of the therapeutically important phytomolecules. …”
