Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impact of Climate Change Upon Winter RainfallNuman Shehadeh, Sabah AnanbehClimatic models that project the impact of climate change upon rainfall in the Eastern Mediterranean region predict that the negative impact will be more pronounced upon winter rainfall rather than Fall or Spring rainfall where instability conditions become more pronounced. Those models, also, predict that, due to the great geographical diversity, projected rainfall trends in the above region will show … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 24 Feb 2013 · 7,569 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrends and Multifractal Analyses of Precipitation Data from Shandong Peninsula, ChinaMeng Gao, Xiyong HouProblem statement: Water shortage is a very serious problem in Shandong Peninsula, which is one of the most rapidly developed zone in China. As the major source of water supply is in this area, precipitation is crucial to sustainable development in Shandong Peninsula. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the trend and characteristics of precipitation during the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 May 2012 · 7,160 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHas The Sea Changed? Qualitative Analyses on the Views of Fishermen in the east coast zone of PeninsularHayrol Azril Mohamed Shaffril, Bahaman Abu Samah, Jeffrey Lawrence D’Silva, Jegak UliProblem statement: Pressure from the uncontrolled human activities had caused damages to our environment. The sea, as one of the environment components has also suffered from these activities. Fishermen, whom depend on the sea for their income and sources of protein, can be one of the groups who are suffering the most. This study intends to discover the perception of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 2 Nov 2011 · 7,302 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTime Series Analysis of Rainfall and Temperature Interactions in Coastal CatchmentsGurudeo Anand Tularam, Mahbub IlaheeProblem statement: As a result of climate change more work is now being done on climate indices such as SOI, rainfall, temperature and so on. The research concerning rainfall and temperature variations in coastal tropical and subtropical catchments as noted by the dated references in this study shows a lack of attention. The authors examined long term data from coastal … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 15,823 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Geometry and Orientation on Flank Insolation of Streets in an Arid Climate CityMehrdad Mazloomi, Ahmad Sanusi Hassan, Parmis Naraghi Bagherpour, Mohd Rodzi IsmailProblem statement: Whilst at the design stage the various aspects of design impact must be taken into account, the incident solar radiation, insolation, is a key to many environmental aspects of street canyons. In this regard, the configuration of an urban street has a decisive role in magnitude of the solar radiation which it receives on its flank. This study … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,999 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Vegetation Dynamics using Long-Term Normalized Difference Vegetation Index Time-SeriesTamara Bellone, Piero Boccardo, Francesca PerezProblem statement: The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is the most extensively used satellite-derived index of vegetation health and density. Since climate is one of the most important factors affecting vegetation condition, satellite-derived vegetation indexes have been often used to evaluate climatic and environmental changes at regional and global scale. The proposed study attempted to investigate the temporal vegetation dynamics … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,404 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSea Level Threat in TuvaluThan Aung, Awnesh Singh, Uma PrasadProblem statement: Recently the impacts of climate change, in particular, sea level rise, had been a major concern for many Pacific island countries. In early 2000, there were a series of media coverage over sea level rise issues using Tuvalu as an example. The daily life of Tuvalu revolves around the ocean and the immediate threat on the islands people, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 13,954 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Impact Assessment of Quarrying Plants: An IRF Kriging Solution to Noise and Airborne Dust MonitoringDario Lippiello, Guido Alfaro Degan, Mario PinzariA geostatistical approach is tested for the assessment of the environmental impact generated by industrial plants on the surrounding areas. To this end, a case study of a tuff quarry in the Italian region of Lazio is presented. The method utilised is Intrinsic Kriging with external drift which allows spatial maps of different hazardous agents like noise and airborne dust … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2019 · 7,885 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCoreless Winter Characteristics Observed with Global Positioning System Receivers over Antarctic and Arctic RegionsWayan Suparta, Faizatul Noor Abu Bakar, Mardina AbdullahProblem statement: The most recent warming trends occurred during the winter in Polar Regions had been attracted many researchers to study its impacts, which might affect the sensitivity of climate prediction in both regions, as well as on a global basis. Approach: The aims of this study were to observe the characteristics of coreless winter events using the GPS meteorology … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 22 Jun 2012 · 7,569 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Contribution of Lube Additives to the Life Cycle Impacts of Fully Formulated Petroleum-Based LubricantsGiorgia Girotti, Andrea Raimondi, Gian Andrea Blengini, Debora FinoProblem statement: Previous applications of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology to lubricants are not sufficiently detailed and comprehensive for R and D purposes and there are no LCAs of lube additives and fully formulated lubricants. The aim of this study is to integrate and expand previous LCAs of lubricants and to investigate on the contribution of lube additives to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 10 Oct 2011 · 9,359 accessesView PDFCite
