Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNatural Radioactivity at an Uraniferous SiteClaudio de Carvalho Conti, Esau Francisco Sena Santos, Isabel Cristina Poquet SalinasThe aim of this study is to evaluate the soil composition, the radioactive isotopes concentration and the outdoor air Kerma in the region of the Uraniferous Province of Lagoa Real, Bahia State, located at northeast of Brazil. It has used data from an airborne gamma-ray survey previously carried out in the region, namely Projeto Sao Timoteo and computer simulations of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 14 Feb 2013 · 7,456 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopmental Design of Anaerobic Wetland System for Mining Waste Water TreatmentMuhammad Aqeel Ashraf, Mohd. Jamil Maah, Ismail YusoffProblem statement: Tin mining is one of the oldest industries in Malaysia that have started since 1820s. These mining activities have resulted in about 13,700 hectors of tin tailings throughout the peninsula. These tailings have created numerous environmental problems such as threat to natural reserves due to landscape changes, damage to natural drainage, pollution and destruction of natural habitats. Approach: … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 10 Oct 2011 · 7,509 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Compaction and Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis) Yield in a Clay Textured SoilZuraidah Yahya, Aminuddin Husin, Jamal Talib et al.Problem Statement: The impacts of soil compaction on crop yields have been studied extensively by soil scientists due to declining soil productivity associated with mechanisation. However, a relationship between machine-induced soil compaction and oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) yield is unclear. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to determine the effects of mechanization on soil physical properties and the influence … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,280 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMachinery Compaction Effects on Physical Properties of Bernam Series in an Oil Palm PlantationZuraidah Yahya, Aminuddin Husin, Jamal Talib et al.Problem statement: Introduction of mechanisation in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) plantations could result in soil compaction and cause soil degradation. This could be a serious problem in the future due to increase in size, weight and transportation frequency of machines used. Objectives: This trial was carried out to evaluate the effect of different trailer weights and transportation frequencies on the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,081 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControlling Ammonia Volatilization by Mixing Urea with Humic Acid, Fulvic Acid, Triple Superphosphate and Muriate of PotashShamsuddin Rosliza, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: Inefficient use of inorganic fertilizer such as urea is caused by substantial losses of ammonia when urea is surface-applied. Ammonia losses can be controlled by adding acidic material such as TSP, HA or FA. In order to reduce ammonia loss and retain soil exchangeable ammonium and available nitrate as well as producing complete organic based fertilizer, this study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 9,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Mixing Urea with Humic Acid and Acid Sulphate Soil on Ammonia Loss, Exchangeable Ammonium and Available NitrateMohd Taufik Mohd Yusuff, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab MajidProblem statement: Ammonia loss due to rapid hydrolysis of urea in soil following surface application can be substantial. Ammonia loss in agriculture is estimated to be 1 to 60%. This laboratory study compared the effect of three different urea-humic acid-acid sulphate soil mixtures on NH3 loss and soil ammonium and nitrate contents, with loss from surface applied urea without additives … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 8,906 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReducing Ammonia Loss from Urea by Mixing with Humic and Fulvic Acids Isolated from CoalAmeera Abdul Reeza, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Nik Ab. Majid, Mohamadu Boyie JallohProblem statement: Ammonia volatilization is a major pathway for nitrogen loss from surface applied urea. While all top-dressed ammonia and ammonium based N fertilizers can volatilize, the potential loss is greatest with urea and fluids containing urea. As much as 20-50% of N applied to soils is lost through volatilization alone. Thus, the objective of this laboratory study was to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 10,897 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReduction of Ammonia Loss from Urea through Mixing with Humic Acids Isolated from Peat Soil (Saprists)Regis Bernard, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohamadu Boyie JallohProblem statement: Application of urea as a source of nitrogen fertilizer has an adverse effect on ammoniacal loss to the environment. This study was conducted to reduce ammonia loss from urea by mixing with Humic Acids (HA) isolated from Saprists peat. Approach: The effects of urea amended with four different amounts of humic acids, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 g … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,846 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReduction of Ammonia Volatilization through Mixing Urea with Humic and Fulvic Acids isolated from Palm Oil Mill Effluent SludgeShamsuddin Rosliza, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohamadu Boyie JallohProblem statement: Ammonia volatilization from surface-applied urea may be substantial but it is possible to control it by mixing urea with acidic substances such as Humic Acids (HA) and Fulvic Acids (FA). The objective of this study was to compare the effects of urea-HA, urea-FA, urea-acidified (HA+FA) mixtures on ammonia loss, soil pH, soil exchangeable ammonium and available nitrate accumulation … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,350 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Nitrogen and Potassium Uptake and Efficiency of Two Rice Varieties Cultivated on an Acid SoilShajarutulwardah Mohd Yusob, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Wan Asrina Wan Yahaya, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidA pot study was carried with the following objectives: (i) To investigate N and K uptake of MR 220 and ARC 2 rice varieties grown on Bekenu series (Tipik Tualemkuts), and (ii) To investigate N and K use efficiency of MR 220 and ARC 2 grown on Bekenu series.
