Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractJapanese Encephalitis Virus: An Emerging PathogenSneham Tiwari, Sai V.P. Chitti, Asha Mathur, Shailendra K. SaxenaJapanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) is a flavivirus maintained in a zoonotic cycle which involves pigs, birds and Culex species of mosquitoes causing fatal encephalitis endemic most of Asia and as far as Australia from its putative origin in Indonesia and Malaysia. The principle vector is Culex mosquito, most important being Culex tritaenorhynchus, present in greatest density in rainy season (June … …Current Research in Virology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 2 Aug 2012 · 14,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClimate Change Adaptation in Acid Sulfate LandscapesChuxia LinOxidation of sulfide minerals produces sulfuric acid and consequently creates Acid Sulfate Landscapes (ASLs), which represent one of the most degraded types of land-surface environments. Although acid sulfate-producing weathering is a naturally occurring process, it is markedly facilitated by human intervention. Mining is by far the dominant anthropogenic cause for the creation of inland acid sulfate footprints while land reclamation … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Jul 2012 · 7,387 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Two Analytical Techniques For Lead Determination in Soils and Mosses SamplesAlbert Maxhuni, Pranvera Lazo, Musaj PaqariziThe aim of this study was to compare the results of the lead levels obtained by two different techniques in the soil and mosses samples taken from the entire territory of the Republic of Kosovo. The atmospheric deposition of lead through the biomonitoring technique was done for the first time in Kosovo by using quartz tube flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 22 Jun 2012 · 6,902 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonitoring of GPS Precipitable Water Vapor During the Severe Flood in KelantanWayan Suparta, Ja’afar Adnan, Mohd. Alauddin Mohd. AliProblem statement: This study mainly discusses the possibility of PWV derived from GPS data for monitoring of water vapor changes during the severe flood due to heavy rainfall. There are two cases of heavy rainfall recorded during the winter monsoon in November 2009 at Kuala Krai, Kelantan. Approach: The first and second cases were sustained for 3 days from 4-6 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 13 Mar 2012 · 9,169 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetention Pond Sediment Accumulation Prediction using Monte Carlo SimulationSupiah Shamsudin, Abd Rashid Mohd Darom, Irma Norazurah Mohamad, Azmi Ab RahmanProblem statement: A study in Malaysia had been carried out to predict the sediment accumulation in urban detention ponds. Suspended sediment is pollutant of primary concern to the river that results in adverse environmental effect. Detention pond becomes a practical approach to this problem. Suspended sediment that settled in stormwater detention pond, can bring effect to the detention pond functions. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2012 · 7,531 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValidation of MIKE 11 Model Simulated Data for Biochemical and Chemical Oxygen Demands TransportMahdieh Eisakhani, Md. Pauzi Abdullah, Othman Abd Karim, Amirhossein MalakahmadProblem statement: The aim of the study was to model the discharge, biochemical and chemical oxygen demands (BOD and COD) loads in each cross section of Bertam River in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. Cameron Highlands form the headwater catchment for two major rivers of the lowlands; Pahang River and Perak River. On the other hand, Cameron Highlands is undergoing rapid development … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Jan 2012 · 7,691 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeasonal Population Dynamics of the Asian Citrus Psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama in SarawakStephen Leong Chan Teck, Abang Fatimah, Andrew Beattie et al.Problem statement: Effective control of phytophagous pests requires a thorough understanding of their seasonal population dynamics, dispersion behavior, natural enemy activity and climate. To date, although very little detail information had been published on the ecology of Diaphorina citri. The objective of this investigation was to test through field experiment the hypothesis that the major factors influencing local D. citri … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 27 Dec 2011 · 9,553 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Deforestation on the Runoff-Peak by KINFIL ModelAlireza Mardookhpour, Leila OoshaksaraieProblem statement: In present study the KINFIL model was used for the catchment management, including the investigation of deforestation on predict flood runoff assessment with a significant precision. Approach: The KINFIL rainfall-runoff model has been used for the reconstruction of the rainfall runoff events in agricultural land use. The implementation of the KINFIL model supported by GIS proved to be … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 24 Dec 2011 · 6,863 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Analysis on 16-Channels Wavelength Division Multiplexing in Free Space Optical Transmission under Tropical Regions EnvironmentSalasiah Hitam, Siti Norziela Suhaimi, Ahmad Shukri Mohd Noor et al.Problem statement: Wavelength-Division-Multiplexing (WDM) is a promising technique for meeting the growing demand for increased bandwidth and various types of services in the optical access network. For wide area or metropolitan networks, fibers are deployed to provide huge bandwidth. In access networks, the fiber-to-the-home will partially solve the last mile problem. However, some environmentally sensitive area such as housing areas, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 2 Nov 2011 · 10,365 accessesView PDFCite
