Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of the Role of Oil and Gas Production Complex in Anthropogenic Changes in Vegetation in Mangystau RegionLyudmila Pavlichenko, Espolayeva Aikerim, Aliya Aktymbayeva, Iztayeva AzizaThe article includes the detailed description of a simplified method of solving the integrated environmental assessment inverse problem. The method was developed by the authors on the basis of using ready map of expert specific environmental assessment of anthropogenic transformation of vegetation in Mangistau region. The first part of the methodology is aimed on obtaining concrete actual evidence which is … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 5 May 2017 · 7,235 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVirtual Assessment of air Pollution Dispersion from Anthropogenic Sudden ExplosionMarvel Lola Akinyemi, Moses Eterigho Emetere, Mojisola Rachel UsikaluThe control of air pollutants from anthropogenic sources seems almost impossible due to numerous influencing factors present in the atmosphere. In this study, we carried out a virtual mathematical experimentation using Math CAD, Mat lab and analytical approximation to estimate the dimensional impact of initial pollutant plume cloud from a sudden volcanic blast and the dynamics of its wind field. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 9 Apr 2016 · 7,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPREPARATION OF ACTIVATED CARBON FROM PALM OIL SHELL BY CHEMICAL ACTIVATION WITH Na2CO3 AND ZnCl2 AS IMPRENATED AGENTS FOR H2S ADSORPTIONKanokorn HussaroHydrogen Sulfide (H2S, rotten-egg) is one of the major environmental pollutants having its sources in natural and anthropogenic activities. It’s had smell gas produced by anaerobic digestion in acid condition from organic and inorganic compounds containing sulphur, presents dual problems of its toxicity and foul ordour. One of methods of its removal is adsorption. Activated carbon is a widely used … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 17 Jun 2014 · 8,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHEAT INTENSITY OF URBAN BUILT ENVIRONMENT IN HOT HUMID CLIMATE REGIONBeta Paramita, Hiroatsu FukudaLarge numbers of inhabitants in a dense area require land coverage for sheltering purposes. The anthropogenic heat emission potentially reduces ventilation of urban areas and significantly brings changes in air temperature. This study is aimed at finding the correlations between urban form and the alteration of urban microclimate in different land-uses. This study has been carried out in Bandung, Indonesia, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 16 Apr 2014 · 7,812 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 · 6,515 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Industrial Pollution on the Spatial Variation of Surface Water QualityIslam Mir Sujaul, Mohammed Amjed Hossain, Mohamad Ali Nasly, Md Abdus SobahanSurface water quality deterioration is the impact of anthropogenic activities at the study areas due to rapid industrialization. The study was done to know the spatial variation of the water quality of the Tunggak River and surrounding area because of industrial activities. In-situ parameters and ex-situ data of chemical, bio-chemical parameters and heavy metals were collected monthly to fulfill the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 25 Mar 2013 · 8,171 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of Seasonal Physicochemical Parameters in River UsmaA. I. Ugwu, R. J. WakawaGrowing populations may put stresses on natural waters by impairing both the quality of the water and the hydrological budget. Abuja, being relatively a new city and the new Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria, has scarce physicochemical data on its water resources that could assist in making robust decision in mitigating the impact of human societies on natural waters; which … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 20 Sep 2012 · 9,272 accessesView PDFCite
