Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of EDTA on Cadmium and Zinc Uptake by Sugarcane Grown in Contaminated SoilPantawat Sampanpanish, Natthakan TantitheerasakThe effect of EDTA on cadmium and zinc uptake by sugarcane (Saccarumofficinarum L.) grown in contaminated soil was investigated. Sugarcane was grown in pots for 1 month and EDTA was added at concentration levels of 0(control), 0.5, 1 and 2 millimole per 1 kilogram of soil. Plants were harvested at 2, 4, 6 and 8 months. Soil samples were analyzed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 12 Sep 2015 · 7,265 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractAn Economic and Environmental Evaluation of the Em-Ferro Plastic Sorting TechnologySeyedehfarzaneh Nojabaei, Omid Nematshahi, Matthew FranchettiRecycling has been continually practiced since the dawn of mankind; however, increasing production costs as well as environmental impacts of the conventional waste disposal methods have shed a light on the importance of recycling as a sustainable way to produce goods and services. Recycling has proven to be beneficial, economically and environmentally: It saves resources, prevents pollution, supports public health … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 30 May 2015 · 6,976 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOMPARISON OF EDTA AND EDDS ENHANCTED PHYTOEXTRACTION OF Cr AND Pb FROM CONTAMINATED SOIL BY ANANAS COMOSUS (L.) MERR.Pantawat Sampanpanish, Tippawan PojanapornThe effects of chelating agents on Chromium (Cr) and lead (Pb) absorption were studied by planting pineapple, Ananas comosus (L.) Merr. in contaminated soil. All plant samples were grown in a nursery for 30 days and then separated into seven sets: Set (1) had nothing added (Blank); (2) had Pb added as Pb(II) Nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) at 500 mg kg-1 soil; … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 18 Apr 2014 · 7,706 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomatic Measurement of Drilling Parameters to Evaluate the Mechanical Properties of SoilsDaniele Pettinau, Pierpaolo Oreste, Marilena Cardu, Davide GuidarelliAny underground work, carried out either to perform excavations, should be based on detailed knowledge of the geological, hydrogeological and geomechanical conditions of the underlying materials. The continuous automatic diagraphy is a test that consists in the continuous surveying of drilling parameters, with total destruction of the core, which can be used, together with geognostic probing surveys and a detailed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 17 Jun 2013 · 7,546 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Sustainability of Oil IndustryVera Rocca, Dario VibertiSimilarly to most industrial activities, the oil industry can affect the environment at several stages. The greatest impact is the release of waste into the environment in concentrations that are not natural. Virtually in all cases, the adverse impact can be minimized or eliminated through the implementation of a proper waste management plan. Over the past few years the oil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 3 Jun 2013 · 8,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impact of Anthropogenic Activities Recorded By Mercury in the Sediment from Dianshan LakeHui Zhang, Nan Zhang, Qi Yang et al.The mercury in sediment cores from Dianshan Lake, Shanghai is studied in this study and it indicates that the mercury level changing from 52.78-145.66 µg kg-1 in sediment can be obviously divided into three sections responding to the development of economy of Shanghai. Mercury decreases with depth in 0-11 cm underground, which is corresponding to the depositing period after 1980; … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 4 Aug 2012 · 7,018 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLocalization of the Dissimilatory Arsenate Reductase in Sulfurospirillum Barnesii Strain SeS-3Eman AfkarProblem statement: Sulfurospirillim barnesii strain SeS-3 is one of the recently known bacterial isolates that can obtain energy to support growth by respiring the toxic oxyanions of arsenic and selenium under anaerobic conditions. Approach: The ultimate goal of this investigation is to localize the active sites for the reduction of arsenate arsenite as well as selenate selenite in S. barnesii … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2012 · 7,908 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTermite Damage to Buildings: Nature of Attacks and Preventive Construction MethodsAbdel Ghaly, Skai EdwardsProblem statement: Termites are an essential member of the soil ecosystem and are found throughout the world. In their natural environment, they improve soil pH, organic carbon content, water content and porosity by cycling dead organics. However, they can negatively impact human welfare by causing damage to unprotected timber structures, underground cables, earthen dams, irrigation ditches and farming equipment. Globally, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 12 Jul 2011 · 26,765 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWellbore Surveying While Drilling Based on Kalman FilteringMahmoud ElGizawy, Aboelmagd Noureldin, Jacques Georgy et al.Problem statement: Oil and gas are global fuels obtained primarily from drilling wells in underground terrestrial reservoirs. Vertical drilling is preferred because of its simplicity and therefore low cost, but subsurface targets can often be procured only by directing the wellbore along predefined non-vertical trajectories. For instance, directional drilling must be employed to reach locations inaccessible to the drilling rig, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,577 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
