Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainability of Rainwater Harvesting Systems in Multistorey Residential BuildingsA. Rahman, J. Dbais, M. ImteazProblem statement: The urban water supply systems in Australian large cities, which generally depend on large surface water reservoirs, are highly stressed due to rapid urban growth and severe drought conditions during the current decade. To ensure the long term sustainability of urban water supply, various alternative water sources including rainwater tanks, grey water, wastewater and desalination plants are being … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 14,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombined Thermal Radiation and Mixed Convection in an Inclined Circular DuctW. Lakhal, S. Trabelsi, E. Sediki, M. MoussaProblem statement: Modeling thermal radiation with simultaneous buoyancy and forced convection for real gases flowing inside system with complex geometry is a difficult task encountered in engineering applications. Purpose of this study was to research numerically the interaction of mixed convection and thermal radiation in laminar air flow inside an inclined cylindrical duct with Uniform Wall Heat Flux (UWHF). This … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation Planning for Sustainable Use of Land Resources: Case study in DiamouDiallo Yacouba, Hu Guangdao, Abdurazak Hussien AbdulahiIn this study, we presented the simulation planning scheme to project land and land resources use changes at a local scale for Diamou (MALI). Problem statement: All the land cover types were under the influence of human and livestock population. Diamou has undergone changes in land-cover over the last decades. The shifting cultivation system practiced was probably the main reason … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical and Physical Characteristics of Cocopeat-Based Media Mixtures and Their Effects on the Growth and Development of Celosia cristataYahya Awang, Anieza Shazmi Shaharom, Rosli B. Mohamad, Ahmad SelamatProblem statement: Cocopeat is considered as a good growing media component with acceptable pH, electrical conductivity and other chemical attributes but it has been recognized to have high water holding capacity which causes poor air-water relationship, leading to low aeration within the medium, thus affecting the oxygen diffusion to the roots. Incorporation of coarser materials into cocopeat could improve the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 19,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMAM-An Aquivalence-based Dynamic Mass Balance Model for the Fate of Non-Volatile Organic Chemicals in the Agricultural EnvironmentMohammad A. Batiha, Abdul Amir H. Kadhum, Abu Bakar Mohamad et al.A Multimedia Agricultural Model (MAM) for predicting the fate and transport of Non-Volatile Organic Chemicals (NVOCs) in the agricultural environment was presented. It is an expanded and modified version of the three compartmental model introduced by Batiha and co-authors in 2007, which is an aquivalence-based level IV. MAM considered five environmental compartments to include the air, water, soil, sediment and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,122 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Water Resources Management Improving Langat Basin Ecosystem HealthMazlin B. Mokhtar, Mohammad Fawzi Al Ajlouni, Rahma ElfitrieThe ecosystem provides us with all the goods and services that form the base of our economic, social cultural and spiritual life. Good scientific information will be required for managing the environment by using the Ecosystem approach. The groundwater is considered as a possible supplementary of alternative water source, and some factories already started shifting their water source from surface … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,053 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDead Sea Rate of EvaporationAbdelaziz L. AL-KhlaifatThe Dead Sea is exceptional by many standards. It is the saltiest and lowest lake in the world. Moreover it is a closed lake with very large variations in its water level caused by both man-made and natural oscillations of the components that make up the water balance. Most of the fundamental studies on the Dead Sea focused on the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,539 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Fate of Non-Volatile Organic Chemicals in The Agricultural EnvironmentMohammad A. Batiha, Abdul Amir H. Kadhum, Zahedi Fisal et al.Multimedia dynamic model of the fate of non-volatile organic chemicals (NVOC) in the agricultural environment is described. The modeled environment, consisting of up to three major surfaces environmental compartments, includes air, agricultural soil, and surface water. This model is based on the aquivalence approach suggested by Mackay and co-workers in 1989. As the movement of chemicals in the environment is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,043 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Total Dissolved Solids on Aquatic Organisms: A Review of Literature and Recommendation for Salmonid SpeciesPhyllis K. Weber-Scannell, Lawrence K. DuffyTotal dissolves solids (TDS) are naturally present in water or are the result of mining or some industrial treatment of water. TDS contain minerals and organic molecules that provide benefits such as nutrients or contaminants such as toxic metals and organic pollutants. Current regulations require the periodic monitoring of TDS, which is a measurement of inorganic salts, organic matter and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 23,405 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Activity of Methyl tert-butyl Ether in Relation to Soil Microorganisms has a Negative Environmental ImpactGholam H.S. BonjarFuel oxygenates are added to gasoline to enhance combustion efficiency of automobiles and reduce air pollution. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is the most commonly used oxygenate because of its low cost, high-octane level and ease of blending with gasoline. However, due to its water solubility, high mobility and low biodegradability it leaches in soil subsurface at the speed of groundwater. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,661 accessesView PDFCite
