Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePalynological 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRare Earth Elements and Geochemical Partitioning of Zn and Pb in Sediments of an Urban RiverShaila Sharmin, H. M. Zakir, Naotatsu ShikazonoProblem statement: Urban river sediment pollution due to Zn and Pb is a serious problem in all over the world. The source and level of Zn and Pb pollution in sediments of Nomi River of Ota Ward, one of the most industrialized areas in Tokyo, Japan is still lacking. Approach: The present study focused on Rare Earth Elements (REEs) and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2010 · 6,966 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHeavy Metals Contamination of Road-Deposited SedimentsJonathan YisaProblem statement: Impact of anthropogenic activities on man and his environment as a result of the growing rate of urbanization in Bida, Nigeria is of a great concern. Street sediments that accumulate along pavements in urban environments have the potential to provide considerable loadings of heavy metals to receiving waters and water bodies, particularly with changing environmental conditions. The objective … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,308 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSeasonal Distribution of Organic Carbon in the Surface Sediments of the Terengganu Nearshore Coastal AreaS. Hasrizal, B. Y. Kamaruzzaman, I. Sakri et al.Problem statement: The distribution of organic carbon in the surface sediment is a crucial indicator for current productivity in the ocean especially in the nearshore area. The difference of organic carbon in the surface sediment reflects the influence of current movement on the bottom sediment. Approach: This study was carried out to oversee the difference of organic carbon distribution during … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,473 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGeochemical Distribution of Trace Metals and Assessment of Anthropogenic Pollution in Sediments of Old Nakagawa River, Tokyo, JapanH.M. Zakir, Naotatsu Shikazono, Kazuo OtomoThe geochemical distributions of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) were examined in sediments collected from Old Nakagawa River (NR), Tokyo, Japan. A widely used 5-step sequential extraction procedure was employed for the fractionation of the metals and the concentrations were measured in the liquid extracts by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The association … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,453 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment of Suspended Sediments Concentration in Surface Waters, Using Modis ImagesMobasheri Mohammad RezaRemote sensing from air-borne and space-borne sensors have proved to be a useful method for Suspended Sediment Concentration (SSC) estimation as it provides an instantaneous and synoptic view of suspended sediments that would otherwise be unavailable. The reason for the success of remote sensing in such surveys is the strong positive relationship that exists between SSC and remotely sensed water … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,006 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimization of Process Conditions for the Production of Holocellulase by a Bacillus Species Isolated from Nahoon Beach SedimentsEvelyn N. Fatokun, Uchechukwu U. Nwodo, Ademola O. Olaniran, Anthony I. OkohProduction of holocellulase by a newly isolated marine Bacillus species via submerged fermentation technique at varying cultivation conditions was investigated. Enzyme production was optimized by altering one variable per time. Moreover effect of lignocellulosic saccharides in inducing cellulase and xylanase production was also investigated. The 16S ribosomal Deoxyribonucleic Acid (16S rDNA) gene sequence analysis exhibited 98% sequence similarity of the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 8 Apr 2017 · 8,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleReconstruction 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMetals in Sediment Cores from Nine Coastal Lagoons in Central VietnamStefania Romano, Cristian Mugnai, Silvia Giuliani et al.Problem statement: After being dramatically hit by war events, Vietnam is presently experiencing a huge economical and social development. However, very few data, relative to pollution levels and trends, are available for the correct management of critical areas such as coastal lagoons, where many economical activities are linked to high value environmental features. Approach: A set of sediment cores from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 9 Mar 2012 · 8,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Provenance of the Varzaneh Aeolian Sand Field Regarding to Lithology and Texture, SW Esfahan, IranH. Pakzad, R. AjalloeianThe main mineralogical/lithological composition of the Varzaneh aeolian sands is sedimentary and igneous lithics. The minor one is metamorphic lithics and mineral grains (such as quartz, feldspar and heavy mineral grains) respectively. The origin of the sedimentary lithics (mainly carbonates) mostly is from sedimentary rocks exposed in the west and the southwest of the study area. These rocks belong to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,199 accessesView PDFCite
