Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLong Term Ageing Effect on Physical and Shear Strength Characteristics of Oil Contaminated Sandy Soils of Al-Ahmadi Field in KuwaitHumoud Melfi Aldaihani, Fahad A. Al-OtaibiSerious environmental damage was caused to Kuwait when more than 600 oil wells were set alight following the 1991 Gulf War, leading to hydrocarbon contamination and a series of ‘oil lakes’ being created in the desert. The effects of these highly damaging actions are still detectable today, 27 years later. The main contribution of this paper is that the effects … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2019 · 8,065 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Pollution by Heavy Metals in the Gold Mining Region of East CameroonDallou Guy Blanchard, Ngoa Engola Louis, Abdourahimi et al.The main objective of this study is to assess the level of heavy metals pollution in soil samples collected around gold mines located in Betaré Oya (BO) and Batouri (BA) in Eastern Cameroon. Elemental analysis of soil samples was carried out using Quant´X EDXRF spectrometer.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuantile Regression Estimation Using Non-Crossing ConstraintsIlaria Lucrezia AmeriseIn this article we are concerned with a collection of multiple linear regressions that enable the researcher to gain an impression of the entire conditional distribution of a response variable given a set of explanatory variables. More specifically, we investigate the advantage of using a new method to estimate a bunch of non-crossing quantile regressions hyperplanes. The main tool is … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 15 May 2018 · 7,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Resistance Evaluation of Dry Subtropics Brown Soils to Heavy Metal and Oil Contamination by Biological IndicatorsSergey Ilyich Kolesnikov, Natalya Aleksandrovna Petrova, Kamil Shagidullovich Kazeev et al.Contamination of brown calcareous soils with Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and oil leads to deterioration of their biological properties. There is a reduction in activity of catalase and dehydrogenase, an abundance of Azotobacter genus bacteria, cellulolytic activity and the length of radish roots. As a rule, there is a direct relationship between the content of contaminant in the soil and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 5 Aug 2016 · 7,888 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLead in Meat and Meat Products Consumed by the Population in SlovakiaLukáčová Anetta, Golian JozefThe presence of heavy metals in food is the consequence of atmosphere contamination of polluted soil, waters and results in contaminated feed with heavy metals. The lead concentrations depend on the environmental conditions and the food production methods. The monitoring of lead concentration in meat is important for human health. The aim of this study was to determine the level … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2014 · 7,928 accessesView PDFCite
