Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClimatic Severity Victims of Upstream Water Piracy Strongly Evidencing Inland Water-depletion Caused Global Warming vis-a-vis CoolingMiah M. Adel, Mahmood R. Hossain, Saiyeeda F. HossainSince the 80’s, the northwestern and the southwestern parts of the tropical Bangladesh located in the downstream Ganges basin have been having summer temperature above 109°F and winter temperature as low as 37°F. Every year people, particularly, the infants die from heat-and cold-related diseases and hospitals become packed-up with the victims of severe climatic condition. The objective of this research … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 15 Apr 2014 · 7,648 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGAUSSIAN COPULA MARGINAL REGRESSION FOR MODELING EXTREME DATA WITH APPLICATIONSutikno, Heri Kuswanto, Iis Dewi RatihRegression is commonly used to determine the relationship between the response variable and the predictor variable, where the parameters are estimated by Ordinary Least Square (OLS). This method can be used with an assumption that residuals are normally distributed (0, σ2). However, the assumption of normality of the data is often violated due to extreme observations, which are often found … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 4 Apr 2014 · 7,625 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSEASONAL DROUGHT DYNAMICS IN EL-BEHEIRA GOVERNORATE, EGYPTAmr Mossad, Hazem S. Mehawed, Ahmed El-ArabyDrought is the most damaging climate-related hazards due to the prolonged absence of precipitation. Therefore, understanding the drought dynamics is important for irrigation water management to mitigate the negative impacts on agriculture. In this study, Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) were used as effective tools for tracking the changes of water status occurred at five … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 4 Apr 2014 · 7,627 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT FOR OIL PALM BASED PLYWOOD: A GATE-TO-GATE CASE STUDYM. Shamim Ahmad, Vijaya Subramaniam, Halimah Mohammad et al.Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an important tool for identifying potential environmental impacts associated with the production of palm based plywood. This study is to make available the life cycle inventory for gate-to-gate data so that the environmental impact posed by oil palm based plywood production can be assessed. Conducting an LCA on the palm based plywood that are derived … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2014 · 9,080 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWEEDS IDENTIFICATION USING EVOLUTIONARY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ALGORITHMAhmed M. Tobal, Sahar A. MokhtarIn a world reached a population of six billion humans increasingly demand it for food, feed with a water shortage and the decline of agricultural land and the deterioration of the climate needs 1.5 billion hectares of agricultural land and in case of failure to combat pests needs about 4 billion hectares. Weeds represent 34% of the whole pests while … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 4 Mar 2014 · 7,827 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTIVENESS OF A PARTICIPATORY ACTION ORIENTED TRAINING INTERVENTION APPROACH AMONG HARVESTERS IN OIL PALM PLANTATIONNg Yee Guan, Shamsul Bahri Mohd Tamrin, Ismi Arif Ismail et al.Consistent with the global demand for palm oil, the intensified upstream harvesting activities of oil palms’ fresh fruit bunches, despite the harvesters evidences of various ergonomics risk factors leading to musculoskeletal disorders should be a cause for concern. Thus, this study describes the effectiveness of a modified and locally adapted Participatory Action-Oriented Training intervention program in improving the working environment … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2014 · 8,983 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEMPIRICAL DETERMINATION OF THE AVERAGE ANNUAL RUNOFF COEFFICIENT IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AREAGiovanni Grillone, Giorgio Baiamonte, Francesco D’AsaroRunoff estimation in ungauged basin is a challenge for the hydrological engineers and planners. For any hydrological study on an ungauged basin, a methodology has to be appropriately selected for the determination of runoff at its outlet. Several methods have been used to estimate the basin runoff production. In this study the empirical Kennessey method to determine average annual runoff … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 5 Dec 2013 · 8,225 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBAYESIAN MODEL AVERAGING WITH MARKOV CHAIN MONTE CARLO FOR CALIBRATING TEMPERATURE FORECAST FROM COMBINATION OF TIME SERIES MODELSHeri Kuswanto, Mega Rahmatia SariGlobal warming is an important issue related to the climate and weather forecast. It is shown by significantly increasing the atmospheric temperature level. Hence, improving the forecast accuracy of temperature is an important issue. The forecast is commonly done by performing a deterministic forecast meaning that the system will generate a point forecast without taking into account the uncertainty induced … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 29 Nov 2013 · 7,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPetrochemical Supply Chain’s Share in Emission of Green House Gases, Case Study: Shazand Petrochemical ComplexNaser Moharamned, Masoud Aghajani, Faride Atabi, Sahar AzarkamandIn this study petrochemical supply chain shares in global warming is studied by monitoring carbon footprint during manufacturing and distribution phase. For identification and measurement of carbon emissions in petrochemical supply chain, at first step necessary data are collected. Then carbon footprint is calculated in manufacturing process. So GHG is measured during fossil fuel use for chemical productions and electricity … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,034 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 · 7,634 accessesView PDFCite
