Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring the Potential for Concentration of Nutrients from Urine Using Solar Evaporation and Carbon Dioxide Trapping of AmmoniaTesfamariam Y. Debessai, Ababu T. Tiruneh, Gabriel C. BwembyaNutrients derived from urine such as nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium constitute valuable sources of fertilizers needed for growing plants and as alternatives to commercial fertilizers. Concentration of nutrients available from urine provides advantages of reducing the volume of transportation, the health risk and making nutrient application to soil stable and suitable. An exploratory review of a possible technology for concentration … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2019 · 7,167 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPathomorphological Findings of White Line Disease with Digital and Inner Organ Infections in Culling Dairy CowsMohsen Nouri, Iradj Nowrouzian, Seyyed Hossein Marjanmehr et al.The aim of this study was to investigate pathomorphological findings of white line disease in culling lame cows, with special reference to the lesions and their distribution. The most prominent pathomorphologic findings of the claw with white line disease included extensor process entheseophyte (75.0%), flexor tuberisity entheseophyte (37.5%) and abaxial margin bone absorption (68.7%).

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Converting Secondary Forest to Oil Palm Plantation on Peat Soil Carbon and Nitrogen and other Soil Chemical PropertiesMakilan Muniandy, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohd Khanif YusopProblem statement: Peatlands are natural sequesters of carbon and nitrogen. Once they are disturbed the tendency to lose carbon and nitrogen to the environment is very high. This study investigated the effect of converting peat land forest into oil palm plantation on soil chemical properties with particular emphasis on carbon and nitrogen storage. Approach: Soil samples were collected randomly at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,302 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrengthening Conservation in the Tropics: The Water Canon of Costa RicaFrancisco Benavides, John N. VeenstraProblem statement: The tropics contain primary forests with a significant value for society, as they provide services such as carbon sequestration, soil conservation, bio-prospecting, water storage and others. Competing land uses have not favored conservation during the last several decades and therefore the need for an effective public policy instrument to curtail forest loss is evident. Approach: This article analyzed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2009 · 6,910 accessesView PDF Cite
