Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Seasonal Temperature on the Genotypic Variability of Flowering Duration in Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum) in NigerSani Daouda Ousmane, Mouhamadou Mounkaila Boureima, Maman Nassourou Lawali et al.Heat stress is a major contributor to crop losses worldwide. Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is a staple crop for inhabitants of arid and semi-arid regions of the world, due to its extraordinary adaptation to drought and high temperatures. Climate change points to an overall increase in temperature, the effect of which on crop growth and productivity remains to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 30 Nov 2022 · 6,125 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of Natural and Artificial Recharge of Shahreza Plain Groundwater in Isfahan Using CRD and Hantush ModelsMohsen Nekooei, Jahangir Abedi Koupai, Saeid Eslamian et al.Cumulative Rainfall Departure model (CRD) is widely used for estimation of ground natural recharge. This model is based on the groundwater balance and it requires random parameters. Moreover, an increase in the static level under artificial recharge facility is simulated using diffusion equations. Since Shahreza Plain is located in an arid and semi-arid area and given that rainfall is the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2020 · 6,797 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransfer Function-Noise Modeling of the Dynamic Relationship between Botswana's Monthly Maximum Temperature and EvaporationOliver Moses, Edward Lungu, Bhagabat Prasad ParidaIn Botswana, the rate of evaporation over open water surfaces is high because the country is characterised by hot and semi arid climatic conditions. The purpose of the study is to investigate the correlation between Botswana's monthly maximum temperature and evaporation and between monthly maximum wind speed and evaporation, for the stations Gaborone, Francistown and Maun and to fit transfer … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 20 Mar 2017 · 7,604 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObservational Study of Wind Shear in Northeastern BrazilFernando R. Martins, André R. Gonçalves, Enio B. PereiraThe wind energy share is growing fast in Brazil and a better understanding of wind speed vertical profiles is essential for accurate power density estimates. The wind shear is highly variable in space and time, being influenced by surface layer stability. Studies concerning wind vertical profiles may have a significant contribution to the Brazilian energy sector. However, wind observational data … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 12 Mar 2016 · 8,213 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTIME SERIES MODELING OF MONTHLY RAINFALL IN ARID AREAS: CASE STUDY FOR SAUDI ARABIANidhal SaadaStochastic techniques are essential in planning and management of water resources systems especially in arid and semi-arid areas where water is scarce. The forecasting of future events requires identifying proper stochastic models to be used in this process. For this purpose, a Periodic ARMA (PARMA) model and a temporal disaggregation models were used in this study to investigate weather they … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 3 May 2014 · 7,204 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTS OF UV-B ON PHOTOSYNTHETIC PARAMETERS, LIPID PEROXIDATION, FLAVONOIDS AND GROWTH TRAITS OF CONOCARPUS LANCIFOLIUS (ENGL.)Patrice Suleman, Amina Redha, Mohamad Afzal, Redha Al-HasanConocarpus lancifolius is a perennial ornamental plant adapted to the semi-arid conditions of Kuwait. It accumulates most of its biomass during the stressful summer conditions which includes UV-B irradiation. The study evaluated equivalent UV-B irradiation intensities that plants would normally experience sometime during the course of a year in Kuwait. Leaf area, plant height, photosynthetic parameters, Lipid Peroxidation (LP) and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2013 · 7,548 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Design of a Photovoltaic Water Pumping and Treatment SystemAbderrahmen Ben Chaabene, Med Faouzi Elkaroui, Anis SellamiThrough the world, the exploitation of solar energies knew a strong growth these last years. It is interesting to exploit them on the place of consumption, by directly transforming into heat, or in electricity according to needs and especially in remote areas where power from utility is not available or is too costly to install. The use of photovoltaic sources … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 4 Jul 2013 · 7,628 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDistribution and Determining of Urban Sprawl in Kerman with Emphasis on Kariz Water SystemAli Hosseini, Mohammad Shabanifard, Mostafa Rashidi, Mamohammad Reza SaiydzadeProblem statement: Urban sprawl is one of the contemporary issues of cities all over the world. The Kariz system consists of underground channels that convey water from aquifers in highlands to the surface at lower levels by gravity. The problem of water shortage in arid and semi-arid regions is one of low rainfall and uneven distribution throughout the season, which … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,627 accessesView PDFCite
