Contaminants in Industrial Lean Amine Solvent and their Removal using Biopolymers: A New Aspect
(2014-03)
Natural biopolymers are gaining increasing attention due to their extraordinary affinity towards adsorption of heavy metal ions. In this research, biopolymers such as chitosan and alginate were used to remove contaminants ...
An Empirical Study of the Relationship between Agriculture Environmental Efficiency and Economic Growth
(Scientific Research, 2014-05)
According to environmental Kuznets hypothesis, inverted “U” relationship exists between environmental
quality and economic development. Along with economic growth, environmental quality
will be presented a trend that ...
Intelligent and Predictive Vehicular Networks
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014-05)
Seeking shortest travel times through smart algorithms may not only optimize the travel times but also reduce carbon emissions, such as CO2, CO and Hydro-Carbons. It can also result in reduced driver frustrations and can ...
A method to synthesize cDNA constructs by homology based recombination cloning
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014-01)
We introduce a homology-based recombination approach for generating a cDNA construct. This method depends on amplifying several exon fragments and their fusions by the homology-based recombination. This method provides a ...

Background: Herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2) and human papillomavirus (HPV) are common
sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among fishing communities and are associated with high
HIV prevalence in this underserved ...
Quantum Mechanical Modeling of Fluoromethylated-pyrrol Derivatives a Study on their Reactivities, Structures and Vibrational Properties
(2014-02)
In this work, the structural and vibrational properties of 1-5-(difluoromethyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl-) ethanone (DFPE) were studied by using the hybrid B3LYP/6-31G* method. The properties were analyzed and compared with those ...
