Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Thermal Infrared Imagery (TIR) for Illustrating the Submarine Groundwater Discharge into the Eastern Shoreline of the Dead Sea-JordanEmad Akawwi, Abdallah Al-Zouabi, Maher Kakish et al.Many of thermal anomalies that are indicator of discharge zones of warmer water were observed along the Dead Sea shoreline at the areas of Zarka Ma’in, Zara and Al-Mujeb. The groundwater discharge locations were mapped along eastern shores of the Dead Sea by using aerial thermal infrared imagery (λ = 8-13 µm). A digital thermal infrared camera was used for … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModels for Mixed Ensemble of Hydrometeors and their Use in Calculating the Total Random Cross Section of a Resolution Volume Filled by Random ScatterersAyman Al-Lawama, Salaheddin Malkawi, Abdullah Al-Odienat, Felix YanovskyFlight safety is of a major concern in aircrafts since the beginning of air traffic. One of the problems threatening the safety is the in-flight icing of the aircraft. This research deals with a problem arises in the context of weather aviation maintenance. Methods of aircraft icing are based on the difference in behavior of the polarization of radar signal … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeo-Seismic Environmental Aspects Affecting Tailings Dams FailuresJuan M. Mayoral, Miguel P. RomoSeismic performance evaluations of tailings dams are essential for characterizing the geo-environmental risks posed by these earthen structures, which should include the geotechnical hazards implied by slope instability failure, free board loss and the potential release of contaminants. The observed damage is more important when liquefaction occurs on the dam body and foundation, which often leads to cracking, settlements, tilting … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Head Cluster Election Algorithm for Clustered Ad-Hoc NetworksArwa Zabian, Ahmed Ibrahim, Fadi Al-KalaniIn distributed system, the concept of clustering consists on dividing the geographical area covered by a set of nodes into small zones. In mobile network, the clustering mechanism varied due to the mobility of the nodes any time in any direction. That causes the partitioning of the network or the joining of nodes. Several existing centralized or globalized algorithm have … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,430 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVulnerability and Pollution Risks in the Alluvial Aquifer of Tebessa-MorsottS. Kachi, N. Kherici, N. KachiWe studied the vulnerability and risks of pollution of the alluvial aquifer of Tebessa-Morsott that ranks amongst the major groundwater reservoirs of the region. The method used to asses groundwater vulnerability was the DRASTIC method, based on seven parameters that affect and control the groundwater flow: Depth to groundwater, Impact of the unsaturated zone, net recharge, aquifer media, hydraulic conductivity, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,812 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetoxification of Heavy Metal Contaminated SoilsFloarea Damian, Gheorghe DamianThe concentration of the heavy metals in the soils from the strong affected zones because of the mining and metallurgical industry, Baia Mare and Zlatna (Romania), is significant due to the high values of the contents and association of the four metals Pb, Cu, Zn, Cd. The efficacy of the natural zeolites in heavy metals immobilization from the studied soils … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,233 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGroundwater Nitrate Contamination Risk Assessment: A Comparison of Parametric Systems and Simulation ModellingDario Sacco, Marco Offi, Marina De Maio, Carlo GrignaniGroundwater nitrate contamination is a source of rising concern that has been faced through the introduction of several regulations in different countries. However the methodologies used in the definition of Nitrate Vulnerable Zones are not included in the regulations. The aim of this work was to compare different methodologies, used to asses groundwater nitrate contamination risks, based on parametric systems … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,122 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of an Axisymmetric Thermal Plume between Vertical PlatesJamil Zinoubi, Adel Gammoudi, Taoufik Naffouti et al.This investigation analyses the turbulent structure of a thermal plume created by a heated disk, evolving between vertical plates. The objective of the study was to understand the development mechanisms of this buoyancy driven flow. The analysis of the average and the fluctuating fields of the temperature as well as the flow visualisation show the existence of three different zones. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,038 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Analysis of Quality of Work Life (QWL) and Career- Related VariablesArafat Al-Dhaqm, LooSee Beh, Jegak Uli, Khairuddin IdrisThe aim of this study was to determine the level and relationship between qualities of work life (QWL) with career-related variables. The sample consists of 475 executives from the electrical and electronics industry in the free trade zones in Malaysia for both the multinational corporations (MNCs) and the small-medium industries (SMIs). The selection of respondents using stratified random sampling technique … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 9,270 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuality Of Work Life: Implications Of Career DimensionsRaduan C. Rose, LooSee Beh, Jegak Uli, Khairuddin IdrisLiterature on QWL is limited and several studies commonly correlates with job satisfaction but no study on QWL has associated with career related factors. This empirical study was done to predict QWL in relation to career-related dimensions. The sample consists of 475 managers from the free trade zones in Malaysia for both the multinational corporations (MNCs) and the small-medium industries … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 14,024 accessesView PDFCite
