Research NotesOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Drying Methods on Coal Liquefaction ConversionMehran HeydariThe sample coal used in this work was lignite containing 25% of moisture and 19% of ash from Canada. Drying of lignite coal had considerable influence on the coal liquefaction conversion. Vacuum dried and nitrogen dried samples provided higher conversion than air dried samples. The air drying showed nearly lower conversion, which probably as a result of oxidation. Air Drying … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2019 · 7,868 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferential Gene Transcription in Red Oak (Quercus rubra) Genotypes Resistant to Copper ToxicityProulx Migueal, Paul Michael, Charnelle Djeukam, Kabwe NkongoloToxicity of metals is a major abiotic stressor of plants. Copper (Cu) is one of the most abundant metals in soils from the Greater Sudbury Region (GSR) due to its mining history. Recent studies have described several transporters and chelating proteins involved in copper resistance. Quercus rubra (Red Oak) is a common species that grows in metal contaminated soils in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 11 Dec 2017 · 8,545 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProject HARPRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.The HARP project, abbreviated from the High Altitude Project, was considered a joint project of the United States Department of Defense and Canada's Department of Defense, originally designed to study low-cost re-entry vehicles. Generally, such projects used rocket launchers to launch missiles, costly and often inefficient. The HARP project used a non-rocket space launch method based on a very large … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 7 Nov 2017 · 19,789 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContrasting Effects of Metal Contaminations and Soil Liming on Cations Exchange Capacity and Global DNA Methylation in Betula papyrifera Populations from a Mining RegionGabriel Theriault, Kabwe NkongoloThe Greater Sudbury Region in Northern Ontario (Canada) has been one of the most contaminated regions in the world. Soil liming with dolomitic limestone applications has decreased significantly the level of soil acidity resulting in forest regeneration. This reclamation process does not affect the level of soil metal contamination but results in metals availability decrement. The coping mechanisms of birch … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2016 · 7,535 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Fungal Communities in Limed and Unlimed Lands Contaminated with Metals: Phospholipid Fatty Acid (PLFA) Analysis and Soil RespirationKassandre Goupil, Kabwe K. Nkongolo, Sabah NasserullaNorthern Ontario (Canada) especially the Greater Sudbury region is highly known for its nickel, copper and other metal deposits. The mining, roasting and smelting of these elements have caused disastrous effects on the vegetation and overall environment. Dolomitic lime which contains calcium and magnesium carbonate was applied to soils from 1980 to 1995 at different locations across Northern Ontario. The … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 May 2015 · 8,094 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLED TECHNOLOGY FOR BUILT AND ENVIRONMENT OF MALAYSIAC. H. Lim, Masoud Dalman, Mona Erfanian Salim et al.Increasing the country population and the trend of industrialization caused increasing Malaysia's electricity consumption. Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a new sustainable technology that has taken over the conventional lighting in built and environment in a few developed counties in the recent years. However, Malaysia is left behind in using this technology due to unfamiliarity of the decision makers on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 1 Oct 2014 · 6,863 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASSESSING SOIL RESPIRATION AS AN INDICATOR OF SOIL MICROBIAL ACTIVITY IN RECLAIMED METAL CONTAMINATED LANDSKassandre Goupil, Kabwe NkongoloMining, roasting as well as smelting of these elements have caused sulphur dioxide fumigations and metal particulate depositions which have led to various detrimental effects on the overall environmental quality of the Greater Sudbury region. Soil amendment and revegetation within the Greater Sudbury Region were initiated to restore the damage land. Several methods have been used to assess the progress … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 11 Jul 2014 · 8,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION OF THE ADEQUACY OF THE WIND SPEED EXTRAPOLATION LAWS FOR TWO DIFFERENT ROUGHNESS METEOROLOGICAL SITESDalila Khalfa, Abdelouaheb Benretem, Lazher Herous, Issam MeghlaouiIncreasing knowledge on wind shear models to strengthen their reliability appears as a crucial issue, markedly for energy investors to accurately predict the average wind speed at different turbine hub heights and thus the expected wind energy output. This is particularly helpful during the feasibility study to abate the costs of a wind power project. The extrapolation laws were found … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2014 · 7,439 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Trade Structure of Chinese Manufactured Exports: 1999-2009Hao Wei, Xi WangBased on the classification of 144 kinds of manufactured products, we make an analysis on the technological structure of Chinese manufactured exports from 1999-2009. We find that: (1) the trade structure of Chinese manufactured exports are totally changed in both world and US markets, the share of Low Technology (LT) products in the total exports shrank while the share of … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 5 Jul 2013 · 6,825 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKinetics of Biological Treatment of Low Level Pesticide WastewaterAbdel E. Ghaly, Deepika DavePesticides are chemical substances intended to protect food crops and livestock from pests in order to pro-mote agricultural productivity and protect public health. Contamination of soil, air and water and threat to human and animal health are the major constraints in the use of pesticides. Treatment of pesticide contaminated water is, therefore, paramount. Biological treatment provides the most economical option … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 4 Jul 2012 · 8,163 accessesView PDFCite
