Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Land Cover on Streamflow Variability in a Small Iowa Watershed: Assessing Future VulnerabilitiesKeith Schilling, Matthew Streeter, Kasey Hutchinson et al.Agricultural expansion and urbanization, coupled with climate change represent major threats to the sustainability of river ecosystems and infrastructure. In this study, we evaluated how subbasins with different dominant land covers within the 27.5 km2 Clear Creek, IA watershed affect key hydrologic indicators. Hydrologic output from two stream gages and a calibrated Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model were used … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 6 Jul 2015 · 8,374 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Soil and Water Assessment Tool Model to Estimate Sediment Yield in Kaw LakeD. Alemayehu, R. Srinivasan, P. DaggupatiKaw Lake is one of the reservoirs built by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1976 for the purpose of flood control, recreation, water supply, navigation and fish and wildlife conservation. The Arkansas River flows from Colorado and Kansas before reaching Oklahoma. As it passes through these states, the water carries various kinds of pollutants such as metals from mine … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 16 Dec 2014 · 8,276 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRETRIEVAL OF 24 HOUR AEROSOL OPTICAL DEPTHS FROM MIE LIDAR DATASiriluk Ruangrungrote, Pichet Limsuwan, Arunee IntasornTemporal Aerosol Optical Depths (AODs) of Phimai district, Nakhon Ratchasima province in Thailand were retrieved from measured Mie lidar data on 17-20 February 2005 using Fernald method. The ground-based station was selected for its high and diverse local agricultural activities contributed to the aerosol content which allows for various parameters such as concentration, size distribution and aerosol optical properties to … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 4 Sep 2013 · 6,517 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEcological Sanitation in Morocco Promotion of the Urine-Diversion Dehydration Toilets-Case of Dayet IfrahYoussef Abarghaz, M. Mustapha Mahi, Mme Christine Werner et al.Problem statement: Most of people in rural areas in Morocco don’t have adequate systems of collection, evacuation and transport of black and gray water. They simply defecate in nature. There is a huge demand, which cannot possibly be met by conventional sanitation systems due to the enormous costs of the pipe network, lack of water and serious environmental drawbacks in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 7 Apr 2012 · 8,028 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWeed Detection over Between-Row of Sugarcane Fields Using Machine Vision with Shadow Robustness Technique for Variable Rate Herbicide ApplicatorA. Muangkasem, S. Thainimit, R. Keinprasit, T. IsshikiProblem statement: Uniformly herbicide rate is used as a conventional practice in Thailand for controlling weeds in sugarcane fields. Since weeds usually grow in certain areas with non-uniformly distribution, uniform herbicide rate approach is not suitable and non-sustainable agricultural technique both in terms of economic an environmental aspect. To address these issues, Variable Herbicide Rate (VHR) was introduced. The VHR … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,238 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonks' Health: Holistic Health Care Model by Community ParticipationDecha Buates, Songkoon Chantachon, Kosit Paengsoi, Anongrit KangrangProblem statement: Monks’ health tended to be a continuous increased problem. They were groups who had limitations to access health services due to their monastic disciplines and their most importance for Buddhist institution. Without urgent solution, their normal way of life would have been affected. Approach: This research aimed to study current conditions and to develop monks’ holistic health care … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,593 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Performance of EPS Footing for Lightweight Farm Structure on Peat SoilMohammad Abdullah, Bujang B.K. Huat, Rezuwan Kamaruddin et al.The objective of this research project was to find a potential replacement for the conventional pile foundation principally for peat soil. It is fundamentally meant for lightweight and impermanent agricultural farm structures. Preceding the design and development of the foundation the physical characteristics of the in-situ peat such as; peat depth, soil consolidation, soil compressibility, water table, liquid limit, soil … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,244 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Strain to Produce Bioprotein from Cheaper Carbon Source: Hope for MillionsParveen Jamal, Md. Zahangir Alam, Nurul UmiBioprotein production is one of the most promising breakthroughs of biotechnological innovations. Due to its increasing demand, the efficient strains, substrate and method must be used for high yield product. In this study, screening of five different cerivisiea, Mucor hiemalis and Thricoderma harzianum, was done for bioprotein production by liquid state bioconversion of wheat flour as a cheaper carbon source. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,810 accessesView PDFCite
