Publication date: Available online 28 March 2018Source: Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied SciencesAuthor(s): Oluwaseun Ruth Alara, Nour Hamid Abdurahman, Haruna Kolawole Afolabi, Olusegun Abayomi OlalereAbstractDespite response surface methodology (RSM) has been the most preferred statistical tool for optimizing extraction processes, artificial neural network (ANN) has been one of the most effective tools used for optimization and empirical modelling since the last two decades, most especially for non-linear equations. Thus, this study was carried out to compare the performance of RSM and ANN in optimizing ...

Publication date: Available online 4 April 2018Source: Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied SciencesAuthor(s): M.A. Semeida, A.H. HassanAbstractNaked eye observations of the morning twilight phenomenon, beginning, end of a pseudo dawn and the true dawn are recorded. These results are an average of 38 observations carried out at Wadi Al Natron (30° 30′ N, 30° 09′ E) with a desert background during the years 2014–2015. These observations enabled us to get an average depression of the sun below the horizon of about 19.74° (begin of zodiacal light), 15.41° (end of zodiacal light) and the beginning of twi...

Microwave-assisted extraction and characterization of fatty acid from eel fish (Monopterus albus)
This study emphasized on the use of microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) technique in studying the effects of three MAE parameters (irradiation time, microwave temperature and microwave power) to obtain extract from eel fish using ethanol as the extracting solvent. The free fatty acid (FFA), acid value, fatty acid contents, and functional groups in the extract were also examined. More so, the maximum extraction yield of 16.13% w/w was obtained at a microwave power of 800 W, FFA and acid value of 1.35 and 2.69 mg KOH/g, respectively confirmed good quality of the obtained extract. In addition, the major fatty acid content...

Three-dimensional finite element analysis of a porcelain crowned tooth
Publication date: Available online 17 April 2018Source: Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied SciencesAuthor(s): Bankole.I. Oladapo, S. Abolfazl Zahedi, F. Vahidnia, O.M. Ikumapayi, Muhammad U. FarooqAbstractThe restoration of endodontically treated teeth is one of the main challenges in restorative dentistry since the weakened tooth structure is more prone to biomechanical failures due to significant tooth loss. The aim of this paper is to computational analysis of prepared crowned tooth in order to differentiate the possibility of using porcelain material for typical clinical condition and masticatory load by...
