Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial-Temporal Analysis of Temperature Trend and its Possible Effects on Water Resources and Water Uses in Climatic Zones of Iran's Zayandehrud River BasinAli Hasantabar-Amiri, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Ali Heidarian et al.The minimum, moderate and maximum temperature trends at seasonal time scale in 5 climatic zones using 37 meteorological stations in Zayandehrud river basin was studied regionally and the relationship to water resources, water uses of each zone and its possible effects were determined. The results showed that the majority of the climatic zones will have an increasing trend in spring, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 27 Jun 2019 · 8,041 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of the Efficacy of Landslide Susceptibility ModelsJordan Henrique de Souza, Gislaine dos Santos, Gabriela Guimarães Gouvêa de Oliveira et al.This research aims to analyze the efficacy of SHALSTAB, IPT, SAGA, SMORPH and modified SMORPH models in evaluating landslide susceptibility. Statistical analysis concerning both the efficacy of the models in the prediction of landslide risks and the concordance between the models according to landslide occurrence or non-occurrence was performed. For this work, logistic regression, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves, Kappa … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 31 May 2019 · 8,839 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReview on Apiary Management and Antimicrobial Compounds as Alternative Prevention or Treatment for Honeybee DiseasesChanpen Chanchao, Marko Stoić, Mikio Yoshiyama, Kiyoshi KimuraHoneybees are important in terms of pollinators and bee products. However, honeybee colonies keep declining due to colony collapse disorder, loss of food sources, environmental deterioration, pesticide exposure and various diseases, as well as the interaction of these causes. Pathogenic infections are high because there is an antagonistic coevolution between host and pathogen/parasite, which leads to a reciprocal adaptation, as … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2018 · 7,738 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHazards from Pyroclastic Density Currents at Mount Bamenda (West-Cameroon, Cameroon Volcanic Line): Mapping and Assessment by AMS MethodMerlin Gountié Dedzo, Pierre Kamgang, Emmanuel Njonfang, Ghislain Zangmo TefogoumHazards related to pyroclastic density current continue to raise victims on many volcanoes in our planet. The Cameroon is not spared to this type of hazard because deposits of pyroclastic flows and surges are found on Mount Bamenda; products of this volcano are relatively young (27-0 Ma). Besides Mount Bamenda, Mounts Bambouto and Oku are the only volcanoes located in … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 15 Oct 2015 · 7,871 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioaccumulation and Tissue Partitioning of Endosulfan by the Red Hybrid TilapiaDwight E. RobinsonThe frequent use of endosulfan in agricultural activity on steep slopes in Jamaica and subsequent contamination of rivers by the residues resulted in a need to assess the levels of bioaccumulation of sub-lethal doses of the insecticide in river fauna using Tilapia fish as a test subject. Bioconcentration of α- and β-endosulfan by the Red Hybrid Tilapia, from 0.0075 mg … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 29 Jun 2015 · 7,060 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDOWNHOLE SEISMIC REFRACTION SURVEY OF WEATHERED LAYER CHARACTERISTICS IN ESCRAVOS, NIGERIAOchuko AnomohanranThe problem of datum correction in seismic surveys and the failures associated with civil engineering structures with specific reference to roads and buildings has been attributed to lack of understanding of the soil structure among others. This is why this survey on downhole seismic refraction was conducted from nine borehole locations in Escravos, Nigeria to determine the weathered layer characteristics … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 30 Dec 2013 · 7,738 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectroanalytical Determination of Doripenem using a Screen-Printed ElectrodeNora H. Al-ShaalanProblem statement: The performance characteristics of Sensitive Screen-Printed (SPE) and Carbon Paste (CPE) electrodes were investigated for the Determination of Doripenem (DP) in pure, pharmaceutical preparations and biological fluids. Approach: The proposed electrodes is characterized in terms of plasticizer type, response time, pH and temperature. Results: The two electrodes showed nearly Nernstian behaviours over the concentration range of 2×10−4-5×10−2 mol/l … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 21 Feb 2012 · 7,659 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological Characterization and Variation in the Total Content of Reducing Sugars in Wild Populations of Agave angustifolia HawMartin Esqueda, Aldo Gutierrez, Guadalupe Palomino et al.Problem statement: Bacanora, a spirit, is distilled from wild populations of Agave angustifolia Haw. Loss of biodiversity must be taken into account when proposing sustainable management actions for this resource. In this study we identified the morphological variants of this species, as well as the weight and Total Content of Reducing Sugars (TRS) in the stem of the agave.
