Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThreat of the Health Quality of Garden Produces Linked to Pollution by Toxic Metals on Some Gardening Sites of BeninKoumolou Luc, Edorh A. Patrick, Agbandji Lucien et al.Problem statement: Water and soil are vital resources used in agriculture. Current data establish a link between the pollution of soil, water and public health. For this reason, this study attempted to establish a link between the level of pollution of garden sites in lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd) and Arsenic (As) and the health quality of vegetables grown there, through … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 Apr 2012 · 7,664 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultiple Linear Regression to Predict Electrical Energy Consumption Based on Meteorological Data: Application to Some Sites Supplied by the CEB in TogoApaloo Bara Komla Kpomonè et al.The prediction model developed in this article is based on the use of meteorological variables to estimate the consumption of electrical energy at the substations of the Electric Community of Benin. The objective is to predict this consumption in order to adapt production to it. The posts (Lomé Aflao, Légbasito, and Lomé port) are the targets that were used in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 10 Jun 2024 · 5,785 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Heavy Metals Contents for Some Cigarettes BrandsLucien Agbandji, Edorh A. Patrick, Georges B. Gbago et al.According certain studies, smoking could be associated with an increase of health risk link to heavy metals and these risks would be more important in developed countries. So, this study attempted to verify these informations throuth the comparison of the levels of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) nickel (Ni) and arsenic (As) in some cigarettes sold in Benin and France. Composite … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 21 Feb 2013 · 8,505 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterisations of Parameters of Granularity of Sediments from Togolese Littoral: Granular PotentialAmey Kossi Bollanigni, Neglo KoumaThe present study aims at analysing the dimensional distribution of granulate grains all along the Togolese littoral and identifying the law of their longitudinal distributions. In this regard two hundred and ten (210) samples are collected all along the Togolese littoral from the Togo-Ghana border up to Togo-Benin border and another ten (10) samples on each side of a spike … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 8 · 10 Oct 2018 · 7,814 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on the Relationship between International and Domestic Grain Prices in Developing Countries—An Application of Markov-Switching Autoregressive Model—Shuqin Yan, Kolawole Ogundari, Hiroshi Isoda, Shoichi ItoThis study aims at estimating the influence of international grain prices on the domestic grain prices in 24 developing countries using a nonlinear model, Markov-Switching Autoregressive model. The results indicate that international grain prices have a positive influence on domestic grain prices before and during/after the grain price-hikes, while the degree of influence may vary depending upon grains and countries. … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 31 Jul 2016 · 7,796 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReconstruction of the Depositional Setting of Tortonian Sediments in the Yowi Field, Shallow Offshore Niger Delta, Using Wireline LogsPrince Suka Momta, Minapuye Isaac OdigiWell logs and ditch-cuttings information was used to study the subsurface of the Yowi oilfields, shallow offshore, in the eastern Niger Delta sedimentary basin. The essence of the study was to determine the gross depositional environments of selected and-bodies. Electrofacies trends from gamma ray log and mineral composition of ditch-cutting samples were used to reconstruct the depositional environments in the … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 8 Feb 2016 · 7,924 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPalynological Studies of Sediments from North Chioma-3 Well, Niger Delta and its Palaeoenvironmental InterpretationsOlugbenga Ebenezer Ige, Kalyani Datta, Kanak Sahai, Krishna Kumar RawatProblem statement: The Niger Delta Nigeria stands among the world's best-studies delta complexes but its superficial deposits are among the poorest known publicity. In spite of continuous oil prospecting production in the area, there is still a paucity of published information and data on the palynology of the Niger Delta. This study aimed at reconstructing the palaeoenvironments of the Niger … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 10 Oct 2011 · 7,884 accessesView PDF Cite
