Effect of Pile Height on Heat Generated during Rotary Bio-drying Process for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Volume 1, Issue 3 Published online: 08 December , 2015
 Article Views: 32
AbstractAmong Christian scholars who especially distinguished themselves in the 10th/11th century Islamic Baghdad were Yahya Ibn ‘Adi (d.974), Ibn Zur‘ah (d.1008), Ibn al-Khammar (d.1017) and Abu ‘Ali al-Samh (d.1027). Some of these Christian translators were no longer relying on the Caliphs or other patrons of learning, but often found their own means of living which in turn prolonged their own academic interest. Consequently, some of them were no mere translators any more, but genuine scholars. The chief architect among them was Yahya Ibn ‘Adi. He was not only the leader of his group but was also dubbed as the best Christian translator, logician and theologian of his times. This is justified, in addition, by his ample productivity in those fields of enquiry. A considerable number of such works have evidently been used by contemporary and later writers, and have also reached us today. Hence we consider that it is in these aspects that his distinctive contributions to scholarship lie, and therefore he deserves more serious study. Thus, this qualitative study which applies conceptual content analysis method, seeks to make an analytical study of Yahya Ibn ‘Adi’s theory of psychotherapy as reflected in his major work on ethics, Tahdhib al-Akhlaq (The Refinement of Character).

Extraction of Residual Sugars from Sweet Pearl Millet and Sweet Sorghum Bagasse for an Eventual Production of Bioethanol Volume 1, Issue 1, June 2015 Pages 14-18 Published online: 21 june 2015
Article Views: 29
AbstractBioethanol represents a promising alternative to gasoline given that fossil fuels reserves are witnessing an important depletion in the last few years. This paper addresses improving sugars extraction from two energy crops, sweet sorghum and sweet pearl millet, for an eventual production of ethanol. The stalks of these C4 plants are indeed rich of fermentable sugars essentially sucrose, fructose, and glucose. After being finely chopped, the biomass was pressed with a hydraulic press and the obtained bagasse was pressed again to extract residual sugars. The bagasse was first humidified either with the juice obtained from the first pressing or with water (ratio 1:1 w/w). Thereafter, the wetted bagasse was pressed immediately, after 30 minutes or after 60 minutes. For both crops, results showed that the humidification’s duration has no effect on the extraction of residual sugars from the bagasse. The use of water was however more efficient then recycling the first pressing’s juice. Indeed, additional 33.4 and 29% of the total fermentable sugars were extracted from sweet sorghum and sweet pearl millet bagasse, respectively, when using water.

Abstract.
An abstract of 100-200 words and the title of the work go on page 2.
Headings and Sections
IJAPS uses only three levels of headings. Use bold- face for all three. Main headings (all capital letters; centered) are first. Second-level headings (title-style letters; flush left) are next. Third-level headings (first letter of first word capitalized; indented; italicized; and run into paragraph) are next. Don’t skip steps: no second-level headings before you use a first-level heading, for instance. Use second- and third-level headings in sets of two or more.
Examples:
METHODS [1st level]
Data and Sample [2nd level]
Measures [2nd level]
Independent variable [3rd level]
Dependent variables [3rd level]
Footnotes
Use footnotes placed on their respective pages (not endnotes).
Hypotheses
If your study contains any hypothesis, fully and separately state each hypothesis you tested separately. Phrase it in the present tense.
Abbreviations and Language
Avoid use of abbreviations. If it is necessary then use full name for the first time and then use abbreviations in the subsequent paragraphs.
Tables and Figures
Tables and figures can enhance both the reader’s understanding of information and the efficiency of its presentation. However, just as too many figures and tables can detract from the overall narrative, we encourage the judicious use of tables and figures and we discourage their overuse.
Number tables and figures consecutively (one series for tables, one for figures). Place them at the end of your manuscript, but indicate the position of each in the text as follows:
————————————
Insert Table 2 about here
————————————
Figures, unlike tables, contain drawings (e.g., an arrow, boxes). Make sure your figures print out clearly so that they can be scanned. Do not use color. Sample Tables and a Figure are given below.

Citations
These are your in-text, in parentheses, identifications of other research. Every work that has a citation needs to have a corresponding reference (see “References,” below). Examples:
Name and year— several studies (Arnold, 1994; Bruce, 2013; Lei, 1995a, 1995b) support this conclusion.
Year only—But David and Xie (1999) presented conflicting evidence.
Order. Order citations alphabetically. Designate two or more works by one author (or by an identical group of authors) published in the same year by adding “a,” “b,” and so forth, after the year. See the “name and year” example above.
Multiple authors. If a work has two authors, give both names every time you cite it. For three through six authors, give all names the first time, then use “et al.” in citations.
Examples:
First citation — (Foster, Whittington, Tucker, Horner, Hubbard, & Grimm, 2000).
Subséquent citation — (Foster et al., 2000)
For seven or more authors, use “et al.” even for the first citation. (But the corresponding reference should give all the names.)
Page numbers in citations. Use this format: Writing a book is “a long and arduous task” (Xie, 1992: 3).
Citation with no author. For an article with no author, cite the periodical as author. Example:
Periodical as author —Economic Analyst predict a significant decrease in unemployment rates (Wall Street Journal, 1999).
For reports, handbooks, and the like, cite the “corporate author” that produced them. Example:
Organization as author—Analysts predict an increase in service jobs in the U.S. Industrial Outlook (U.S. Department of Commerce, 1992). Such sources can also be identified informally. No corresponding reference will then be needed.
Example:
Informal citation—According to the 1999 U.S. Industrial Outlook, published by the U.S. Department of Commerce, service jobs will increase.
Electronic sources.
Use a regular citation (author, year) if you can identify an author of one of the types discussed above (human, periodical, or corporate). If not, give the web address that was your source in parentheses. No corresponding reference need be used in the latter case.
References
References are your entries in the alphabetical list at the end of your article or research note. This list should include only work you have cited.
Order. Alphabetize references by the last name of a sole author, a first author, or an editor, or by the name of a corporate author (for instance, U.S. Census Bureau) or periodical (such as the Wall Street Journal) if there is no human author or editor. Order works by an identical author by year of publication, listing the earliest first.
If the years of publication are also the same, differentiate entries by adding small letters (“a,” “b,” etc.) after the years. Repeat the author’s name for each entry.
Books.
Follow this form: Last names, initials (separated by a space). Year.
Title (Boldface italic, capitalize only the first letter of the first word and of the first word after a long dash or colon.) City where published: Name of publisher. (For small U.S. and Canadian cities, follow the name of the city with the postal abbreviation for the state or province; for small cities in other countries, give the full name of the country.) Examples
Granovetter, M. S. 1965. Ozone layer and the Environment. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.

Manuscript Submission Guidelines
Information for Authors
All submissions should be done thorough Word Processing file from which title page (including author name and affiliation and any acknowledgments or author notes) must be removed. After removing the author(s) detail go to the web site here and follow the directions. Each article usually has two part, i. Main Manuscript and ii. Title Page not for Review. The manuscript should include everything (i.e. title, abstract, key words, introduction, literature review, methods, results, findings references, tables and graphs) other then the authors, names, affiliation, addresses, acknowledgements, and any other information that may be used to identify the author(s).
Criteria for Publication
For the publication in IJAPS, a manuscript must make strong theoretical and empirical contributions to the field of applied and physical sciences. Authors who are interested in publishing with IJAPS should strive to produce original, interesting, valuable, insightful, and important research. The acceptance of article for publication highly depends upon the originality, value, importance, and significance. Submissions that do not have strong theoretical or empirical contribution will not be reviewed.
Each submitted manuscript would be assigned to action editor for evaluation. The action editor will decide whether to forward the manuscript to the reviewers. Typically, papers should be no longer than 40 double-spaced pages (using one-inch margins, left aligned, and Times New Roman 12-point font) including references, tables, figures, and appendixes.
Submission Requirements
Before submitting a manuscript to IJAPS, the authors must make sure and confirm that
- Their manuscript has not already been published, reviewed and submitted to any other journal during the review period at IJAPS. Articles presented and published in the proceedings of any academic conferences or workshops will be considered for publication in IJAPS.
- Their manuscript has not previously been submitted to IJAPS for review.
- The working papers or prior drafts of submitted manuscript that are posted on a website (e.g., personal, departmental, university, organizational) or a database will be taken down during the review process.
Peer Review Process and Time
International Journal of Applied and Physical Sciences (IJAPS) operates a strictly anonymous peer-review process in which the reviewers’ names are withheld from the author(s) and, the authors’ name from the reviewer.
Desk Review: On receiving a manuscript, the editor conducts a preliminary screening to assess the degree to which the manuscript fits the criteria in IJAPS’s ‘Aims and Scope’. Submissions that fail to satisfy our criteria may be returned to the authors either as a desk reject or desk edit. In case of desk edit, the authors are asked to edit the manuscript and then resubmit.
Review process: For each manuscript that passes the desk review, the editor assigns an action editor (either him- or herself or an associate editor or a guest editor) and two reviewers. The manuscript’s action editor sends the manuscript to two reviewers who are specialists in their fields for review. After receiving the reviewers’ comments on the manuscript, the action editor makes publication decisions about it. However, these decisions are made in conjunction with recommendations provided by the reviewers. All submission is blind reviewed; manuscripts prepared in a way that compromises blind review may be returned for revision prior to being submitted to the reviewers.
Review Time: The journal strives to provide developmental and constructive feedback to authors within approximately five weeks. The peer-review process usually takes four weeks depending upon the manuscript size and availability of the editorial members. However, the initial quality of the manuscript can dramatically influence both the efficiency and effexctiveness of review process. The better developed a manuscript and the ideas it contains, the easier it will be to review, and provide timely feedback to authors. We therefore encourage authors to ask scholarly colleagues to review their work prior to submission to the IJAPS.
The Guidelines for Reviewers can be viewed here.
The submissions made to the conferences organized by our associated organizations generally do not go through peer-review process because the submissions made to our associated conferences already go through a rigorous review process. For manuscripts already presented at our associated conferences, the action editor usually makes a decision for possible acceptance, rejection or revision.
Formatting
IJAPS uses APA style guide for in-text Citations, Tables, Figures/Images, References, and Appendixes. All submissions are required to be formatted according to the guidelines available here. The action editor may return manuscripts that do not commensurate with the formatting guidelines to the authors for revision prior to submission to the full review process.
Language Editing-Author Services
For authors who are non-native English speakers writing in English as a second language, KKG Publishing offers language editing, or ‘polishing’ of academic papers, including manuscripts, journal articles, abstracts, and dissertations. Upon acceptance your manuscript will be checked for correct grammar, spelling, style, sentence structure, and readability.
