Abstract The optimization of biodiesel production from two non-edible oils and studies of their fuel and biodegradability properties was carried out. The two oil feedstocks (Yellow oleander and Castor oils) were extracted from their seeds using an oil expeller and their physicochemical properties such as iodine value, moisture content,...

ABSTRACT Optimization is the process of transforming a piece of code to make more efficient (either in terms of time or space) without changing its output or side-effects. The only difference visible to the code’s user should be that it runs faster and/or consumes less memory. It is really a misnomer that the name implies you are finding an... Continue Reading

PLASTIC MARINE DEBRIS: Importance to Aquatic Environment and Human Health ABSTRACT Over the years the importance of plastics for different purposes especially packaging has been emphasized but its adverse effect on the aquatic environment and human health makes it less desirable. Aquatic animals feed on plastic marine debris and sometimes get a... Continue Reading

Introduction A vessel accident is an unintended happening. Its severity may vary from no vessel damage to the complete loss of the vessel, no cargo damage, to loss of the entire cargo, and no crew injuries to deaths (Talley, Jin, & Kite-Powell, 2005). Thus, vessels safety regulations and their enforcement focus on prevention and reduction of... Continue Reading
