Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleConstrained Modified Genetic Algorithm for Optimizing RICE Climate Change Model PolicyHaitham OsmanThe objective of this paper is to use evolutionary algorithm for policy making to help in decision support, the Regional Integrated Climate-Economy (RICE) model for the dynamic climate change is used to optimize the tradeoff policy between abating of carbon dioxide emissions to reduce global climate change and in the other hand the resulting in economic damages. A Constrained Genetic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 10 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,508 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEconomic Impact of Climate Change: Elaborating the Policy for Sustainable Development of Central AsiaAssem Yessenbekova, Ainura Adieva, Syrym SharipkhanovThe article deals with the theoretical and practical aspects of the impact of global warming on the sustainable economic development of the Republic of Kazakhstan and Central Asia. In particular, we touch upon the impact of climate change on water resources, agriculture, ecosystems, etc. and propose measures to minimize, prevent and reduce economic losses from the lack of water resources, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 13 May 2016 · 7,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluating the Effects of Climate Change and Variability on Water Resources: A Case Study of the Cheliff Basin in AlgeriaYamina Elmeddahi, Hacene Mahmoudi, Abderrahmane Issaadi et al.In aim to well understand of the association between climate change, variability and their impact on water resources availability, an analysis was conducted of the trends in rainfall and stream flows across the Cheliff basin in Algeria. Sen’s non-parametric estimator of slope was employed to estimate the extent of tendencies, whose statistical significance was measured by the Mann-Kendall (MK) and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 12 May 2016 · 9,515 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFuture Water Budgets and Water Supply Stress under Climate Change and Urbanization in the Upper Neuse River Basin, North Carolina, USAMichelle Tong Sun, Ge Sun, Chong Liu et al.Urbanization and climate change are the two major threats to watersheds and the environment in the United States. It is imperative to understand the sensitivity of hydrologic responses to climate and urbanization across different physiographic regions in order to formulate sound watershed management strategies and policies. This study evaluated a watershed water balance model, Water Supply Stress Index (WaSSI), with … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 30 Jun 2015 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleChange in Temperature of Skin, Blood, Muscle and Bone Tissues Due to Mobile Phone Radiations at Frequencies 800, 900, 1800 and 2450 MHzMushtaq Ahmed Bhat, Vijay KumarThe mathematical calculation of change in temperature of skin, blood, muscle and bone tissues of human being working at the frequency of 800, 900, 1800 and 2450 MHz is done in this manuscript. The power of the antenna of mobile phone is of 2 W. The calculation is made at the various depths, by taking the different distances of human … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 21 Jun 2015 · 7,353 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Phenomenon of Nonzero Norm of Long-Term Changes in the Total Water Supply in River BasinsViktor V. Kovalenko, Ekaterina V. GaidukovaIn hydrology, the norm of changes in water supply is considered to be equal to zero, under long-term averaging. This assumption allows for calculating and mapping the long-term evaporation rates linked by the water balance with maps of precipitation and river runoff. The phenomenon of nonzero norm of change of the total water supply is provided using the effect of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 27 May 2015 · 6,630 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Role of Developmental Psychology to Understanding History, Culture and Social ChangeGeorg W. OesterdiekhoffDevelopmental psychology of the past generations has evidenced that the whole pre-modern humankind stood on pre-operational or concrete-operational stages. Only the modern humankind has also developed the fourth stage of human development, the adolescent stage of formal operations. Lew Vygotski was 1933 one of the first to earmark convincingly the connection of socialisation (school education) and cognitive development as a … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 29 Jan 2015 · 12,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMODELING OF FUTURE LAND COVER LAND USE CHANGE IN NORTH CAROLINA USING MARKOV CHAIN AND CELLULAR AUTOMATA MODELSayem M. Zaman, Manoj K. JhaState wide variant topographic features in North Carolina attract the hydro-climatologist. There is none modeling study found that predict future Land Cover Land Use (LCLU) change for whole North Carolina. In this study, satellite-derived land cover maps of year 1992, 2001 and 2006 of North Carolina were integrated within the framework of the Markov-Cellular Automata (Markov-CA) model which combines the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 23 Aug 2014 · 8,712 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAIR POLLUTION AND CLIMATE CHANGE IN LAGOS, NIGERIA: NEEDS FOR PROACTIVE APPROACHES TO RISK MANAGEMENT AND ADAPTATIONAkinola A. Komolafe, Suleiman Abdul-Azeez Adegboyega, Adeleye Y.B. Anifowose et al.The significance of air pollution as one of the contemporary issues and accelerating factors that propel climate change in both developed and developing countries cannot be overemphasized. The problem of air pollution has seemingly become intractable with the incessant failure of both global and local environmental policies purportedly emplaced to address its devastating trend, particularly in growing megacities of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 12 Jul 2014 · 10,232 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT ON WATERSHED HYDROLOGY: A COMPARISON OF THREE APPROACHESSomsubhra Chattopadhyay, Manoj K. JhaSeveral methods of impact assessment have been developed over the years which basically incorporate future climate projections of atmospheric-ocean circulation based climate models into the simulation of land surface hydrological processes. This study attempted to evaluate three methods of climate change impact assessment: (a) Frequency perturbation method, (b) direct method and (c) delta change method. A well-calibrated hydrologic model, Soil … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Mar 2014 · 8,597 accessesView PDFCite
