Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Resource Conservation Technology for Adapting Argroecosystems to the New Natural Conditions of a Warming Climate in South-Eastern KazakhstanNaziya Suleimenova, Dastan Kalykov, Baglan Makhamedova et al.This article presents the results of research aimed at developing a resource conservation technology for the adaptation of the soybean agroecosystem to the new natural conditions of a warming climate. In particular, measures to combat drought have been studied: The efficiency of soil-protecting technology (Mini-till) and minimization of anthropogenic impact on soil, the effective use of soil moisture and its … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2021 · 6,364 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrain Size Distribution Characteristics Variation in Oily Contaminated Sandy Soils Due to Long Term Aging Effect in Al-Ahmadi Field at KuwaitHumoud Melfi Aldaihani, Fahad A. Alotaibi, Farraj F. Al-ajmiAlmost three decades on, the negative environmental impacts arising from the burning of over 600 oil wells in Kuwait following the 1991 Gulf War are still evident. At the time of the incident, the Kuwaiti desert region became polluted with hydrocarbon, with a number of ‘oil lakes’ forming, causing critical harm to local land. This paper discusses the shifts in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 10 · 23 Nov 2018 · 8,412 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 · 12,641 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFailure Mode and Pullout Capacity of Anchor Piles in ClayYanbing Zhao, Haixiao Liu, Mengyuan LiuAnchor piles are wildly adopted in mooring systems. However, there are still challenges in predicting the failure mode and pullout capacity of the pile. Previous Finite Element (FE) analysis was all based on the traditional small strain FE analysis. The whole pullout process of the pile cannot be simulated. Hence, the failure mode of the pile is hard to be … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2017 · 8,221 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Microbial and Heavy Metal Contents in Soils and Roots under Mangrove Forest Stands with Different Levels of Pollution in the Niger River Delta, NigeriaAroloye Ofo NumbereOil and gas exploration in the Niger Delta, has resulted to increased heavy metal contamination. It is thus postulated that increased heavy metal will lead to decreased microbial content in soil and root. To test this hypothesis ten replicates each of soil and root samples were collected from already established sites. Samples were sent to the laboratory for analyses of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2017 · 8,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Micronutrient Soil Deficiency, Crop Residue Usage and Soil Health Assessment on Wheat Crop Productivity: A Study of Indian PunjabTanvi KiranMicronutrient soil deficiency, usage of crop residue and assessment of soil health are the critical factors that have strong bearing on crop productivity. Therefore, in this backdrop, the present study has utilized the econometric tools of ANOVA regression and ordinal logistic regression approach to capture the impact of micronutrient soil deficiency, crop residue usage and soil health assessment on wheat … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 7 Apr 2017 · 7,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEssential Oil Chemical Composition of Myrtle Growing in Northeastern Algeria and Estimation of its Antibacterial EffectivenessBarhouchi Badra, Aouadi Saoudi, Abdi AkilaThe aim of this study is to determine the antibacterial effectiveness of leaves essential oil extracted from myrtle growing in Algeria. A cluster analysis of soil and water was effectuated for performing chemical and granulometric analyses. The essential oil was isolated from leaves by hydro distillation and analyzed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). The leaves yield reached a peak at … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 5 Apr 2016 · 8,360 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSEDIMENT CORE SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS OF KAW LAKEDejene Alemayehu, Jason McAlister, William FoxThe Kaw Nation and Black land Research Center in July 2012 conducted a sediment core sampling from Kaw Lake. Kaw Lake is a reservoir constructed in 1976 by the Army Corps of Engineers for the purpose of water supply and recreation. It is located 11 miles east of Ponca City, Kay County, Oklahoma. This reservoir covers approximately 17,040 acres (69 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 15 Sep 2014 · 7,394 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Polluted Mangrove Swamps Using Nutrient Formula Produced From Water Hyacint (Eicchornia crassipes)Frank Anayo Orji, Abiye Anthony Ibiene, Phillip O. OkerentugbaLaboratory-scale studies were carried out using a nutrient formula produced from Eicchornia crassipes plant to achieve bioremediation of crude oil impacted mangrove soil. In a 70 day study, the culturable heterotrophic bacterial population of the Eichhornia crassipes recipe increased from 6.26×105 Cfu/g to 2.69×107 Cfu/g. The control set-up had its total culturable bacterial count increased from 5.76×105 Cfu/g to 1.24×106 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,650 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariability of Hydraulic Conductivity Due to Multiple FactorsSanjit K. Deb, Manoj K. ShuklaSoil properties are greatly influenced by intrinsic factors of soil formation as well as extrinsic factors associated with land use and management and vary both in time and space. Intrinsic variability is caused by the pedogenesis and usually takes place at large time scales. The variability caused by extrinsic factors could take effect relatively quickly and could not be treated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 13 Aug 2012 · 10,228 accessesView PDFCite
