Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMNM1D: A Numerical Code for Colloid Transport in Porous Media: Implementation and ValidationTiziana Tosco, Rajandrea SethiProblem statement: Understanding the mechanisms that control the transport and fate of colloidal particles in subsurface environments is a crucial issue faced by several researchers in the last years. In many cases, natural colloids have been shown to play a major role in the spreading of strongly sorbing contaminants, while manufactured micro-and nanoparticles, which are nowadays widely spread in the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 8,291 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Effects of Landfill in Azad-Shahr City on the Physicochemical Properties of GroundwaterSara Abdollahi, Safieh Javadinejad, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Vijay P. SinghLocations near landfills have a lot of potential for contamination of groundwater, because there is a high potential for contamination with emulsion in these areas. In this study, the quality of physic chemical and carbon-organic materials (TOC) of water wells around landfill of Azad-Shahr city was investigated. To accomplish this purpose, sampling of water from seven deep wells around the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2019 · 7,925 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR): A Novel Agent for Sustainable Food ProductionOdoh Chuks Kenneth, Eze Chibuzor Nwadibe, Akpi Uchenna Kalu, Unah Victor UnahPlant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) involves the use of large array of soil bacteria to improve yield, plant growth and sustainable food production. As free living and symbiotic rhizobacteria, PGPR exert its role by colonizing extracellular and/or intracellular rhizoenvironment in the quest for carbon source. In the past decades, focus has been on developing a biosafety agro base approach void … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 19 Apr 2018 · 14,183 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Anaerobic Fermentation of Simple Sugars by Yeast Fuels Resistance Candida spp. Infections to Eradication by DrugsNedosa Ikenna Valentine, Utoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu Anastasia, Dan Danjuma et al.Problem statement: Human systemic Candida infections had proved difficult to eradicate by the medical health care system. Some practitioners and scholars see the problem as being due to drug resistance. For example an author wrote that ‘secondary drug resistance is clearly being encountered in one setting, oropharyngeal candidiasis in patients with advanced Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection usually … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 10 Dec 2011 · 7,836 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydrogeological Prognosis with Regard to Realisation of the New Colle Di Tenda Road TunnelCinzia Banzato, Massimo Vincenzo Civita, Adriano Fiorucci et al.Problem statement: The doubling of Tenda pass road tunnel jointing SW France to Piedmont (Italy) was planned to penetrate a complicate rock structure in which several complex play an hydrogeologic role including carbonate-Karst aquifer between flysch impervious complexes. The main problem of the project is the presence of an hydraulic circulation feeding a spring of social and economic great importance … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 7,363 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhytoremediation of Anaerobic Digester Effluent for Water Purification and Production of Animal FeedA. E. Ghaly, H.A. FaragThe application of phytoremediation for purification of an anaerobically treated dairy manure and production of forage crops was investigated. Four crops (two cereals and two grasses) were examined for their ability to grow hydroponically and to remove pollutants (nutrients) from dairy wastewater. The preliminary experiments showed that timothygrass and orchardgrass did not perform well as aquatic plants. Only 24 and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,201 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImpact of Ultra Violet Radiation on Polyethylene Packaged Water Exposed at Varying Conditions: Are we Drinking Micro-Plastics?James Matthew Anayo, Victor Eshu Okpashi, Ikechukwu N.E. OnwurahThe public is worried about how their health is impacted by microplastics in sachet water. This awareness has repercussion for water producing factories and public health organization in managing health hazard associated with microplastic ingestion. Many countries in Africa, with concern to Nigeria, the act of packaging water in polyethylene materials by water producing factories has become accustomed. These packaged … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2018 · 9,915 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOpen ended-coaxial Cable Measurements of Saturated Sandy SoilsAlberto GodioThe application of electromagnetic methods in the radar and micro-wave frequency band allows the fluid content of soils to be estimated; the heuristic or physically-based models permit to relate the observed electrical permittivity of the soils with the porosity and fluid saturation. The role of the effect of the free water and bound water in the overall electromagnetic behaviour of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,800 accessesView PDF Cite
