Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Dust Event By RS, GIS, MODIS and Statistical Methods Among Satellite ImagesKaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Naimeh Rahimi, Parisa Ashrafi et al.Dust is an event that occurs in most sections of the world that leads to financial loss and harmful environmental impacts. Several factors are included in dust event incidence, some of them are natural and others are due to human processes and their impact on the environment. Thus, very critical situations are coming and it is expected that the majority … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2021 · 6,698 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimate of Safe Angle for Cut Slopes Under Different Geology and Rainfall Intensity in Central NepalPrabin Shrestha, Khomendra Bhandari, Mahendra Acharya et al.This research has been carried out on a cut slope of Kathmandu-Terai Fast Track Road near Koppugaon located at Dakshinkali Municipality, Kathmandu. The cutting of the slope without considering the possible effects of geological parameters of slope material may cause unexpected slope failures which may cause loss of lives and properties. This research deals with the effects of rainfall and … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 26 Nov 2024 · 9,628 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNonlinear Analysis of RC Box Culverts Resting on a Linear Elastic SoilDaniele Baraldi, Fabio Minghini, Enrico Tezzon, Nerio TulliniIn the analyses presented, the soil-structure interaction is accounted for by means of a FE-BIE approach, in which the structure is modelled with displacement-based beam finite elements, whereas the boundary between structure and substrate is described in terms of surface tractions by means of a boundary integral equation incorporating a suitable Green's function. This mixed formulation ensures full continuity between … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 8 Feb 2018 · 12,632 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Erosion Hotspot Area using GIS and MCE Technique for Koga Watershed in the Upper Blue Nile Basin, EthiopiaTewodros T. Assefa, Manoj K. Jha, Seifu A Tilahun et al.Soil erosion is a serious threat in Ethiopian highlands. Continuous land degradation resulted in loss of fertile top soil leading to low agricultural productivity. In addition, excessive soil erosion from Koga Watershed in upper catchment to an artificial reservoir (Koga Dam reservoir) is substantially reducing its service life. Community participatory based effective watershed management strategies may have tremendous potential to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 10 Sep 2015 · 9,147 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Alternative Cropping and Nutrient Management Systems with Soil and Water Assessment Tool for the Raccoon River Watershed Master PlanPhilip Gassman, Manoj Jha, Calvin Wolter, Keith SchillingThe Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) ecohydrological model was used to assess a suite of adaptive nutrient management, alternative cropping system and combination scenarios in support of a Master Plan that was developed to help guide policy makers, land owners and other stakeholders in improving water quality for the 9,400 km2 Raccoon River watershed in west central Iowa, located … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 9 Sep 2015 · 7,612 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION OF N ADDITIVES FOR IMPROVING N USE EFFICIENCY OF SURFACE APPLIED UREA TO DRY SEEDED AND PERMANENTLY FLOODED RICEDavid D. Dunn, Pawel WiatrakThere are several potential Nitrogen (N) loss mechanisms in a dry seeded and delayed flood system rice (Oryza Satvia L.) production system including urea volatilization and denitrification. The scope and magnitude of these potential losses are largely weather dependent. Two additives (stabilizers), Agrotain and Nutrisphere-N, have been offered to rice producers for controlling these potential losses. This study compared these … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Jun 2014 · 6,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOMPARING GIBBS ENERGY RELATIONSHIPS FOR AMMONIA VOLATILIZATIONS FROM AGRICULTURAL SOILS FOR POTATO PRODUCTIONGuodong Liu, Yuncong Li, Ashok AlvaSoil drought, that can be enhanced by global warming increases ammonia (NH3) volatilization. This laboratory study was conducted with two soils: Krome Gravelly Loam (KGL) from Florida and Warden Silt Loam (WSL) from Washington State and two fertilizers: Ammonium sulfate [(NH4)2SO4] or ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3). Two water regimes including 20 and 80% Field Capacity (FC) were used at 20°C which … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 8 Feb 2014 · 7,487 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS OF KALLAR-COONOOR HILL ROAD STRETCH OF THE NILGIRISP. Nalina, T. Meenambal, R. Sathyanarayan SridharThe stability of slopes is always under severe threats in many parts of Western Ghats, especially in Kallar-Coonoor hill road stretch, causing disruption, loss of human life and economy. To minimize the instability of soil slope in between Kallar-Coonoor, a critical evaluation of roads is required. The stability of slopes depends on the soil shear strength parameters such as Cohesion, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 4 Feb 2014 · 7,402 accessesView PDFCite
