Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Polypropylene Fibers on the California Bearing Ratio of Air Cured Stabilized Tropical Peat SoilBehzad Kalantari, Bujang B.K. Huat, Arun PrasadProblem statement: Peat soil is well known to deform and fail under a light surcharge load and is characterized with low shear strength, high compressibility and high water content. With the rising demand from the construction industry, utilization of these soils is required and suitable technique needs to be found out for stabilizing them. Approach: Model study had been carried … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,697 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiodegradation and Recycling of Urban Solid WasteS. P. Gautam, P. S. Bundela, A. K. Pandey et al.Problem statement: Rapid urbanization and population growth are largely responsible for very high increasing rate of solid waste in the urban areas, its proper management and recycling is major problems of Municipal Corporation. The proposed study attempted to proper management, physicochemical analysis of Urban Solid Waste (USW) and its conversion to enriched compost by ecofriendly process. Approach: For this study, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,103 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of the Effective Factors on Threshing loss, Damaged Grains Percent and Material Other than Grain to Grain Ratio on an Auto Head Feed Threshing UnitE. Askari Asli-Ardeh, Y. Abbaspour-GilandehProblem Statement: Regarding to considerable production of rice crop in Iran, study and investigation about optimization of different stages of this product processing seems necessary. The threshing of rice is a process which must be accomplished desirability. Approach: In this study, the effective factors effects on threshing loss, damaged grain percent and Material Other than Grain (MOG) to grain ratio, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffective Thermophilic Composting of Crop Residues for Inactivation of Tobacco Mosaic VirusA.E. Ghaly, F. Alkoaik, A. Snow, R. SinghAn effective thermophilic composting bioreactor, in which a homogenous distribution of temperature was maintained at 63-65°C by the addition of a bioavailable carbon and low mixing, was developed. The bioreactor operated on a mixture of tomato plant residues-wood shavings-municipal solid waste compost infected with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). The initial C: N ratio and moisture content of the compost mixture … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,963 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Supplementary Bioavailable Carbon on the Thermal and Biological Kinetic Parameters of the Composting Process of Tomato Plant TrimmingsA.E. Ghaly, F. AlkoaikThree laboratory-scale bioreactors were used to investigate the influence of bioavailable carbon addition on the composting process of tomato remains. Sugar, cheese whey and used cooking oil were used as bioavailable carbon sources. The amounts of materials added to the compost mixture had equal energy contents. The initial moisture contents and C: N ratios of the compost mixtures were maintained … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,563 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractField and Laboratory Suction- Soil Moisture Relationship of Unsaturated Residual SoilsBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal H. Ali, A. AbdullahSoils located above the groundwater table such as residual soils are generally unsaturated and possess negative pore-water pressures. A soil-water (moisture) characteristic curve (SWCC) that relates the water content of a soil to matric suction is an important relationship for the unsaturated soil mechanics. The SWCC essentially shows the ability of an unsaturated soil to retain water under various matric … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,038 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation of Vegetative Induced Deformation in an Unsaturated SoilNazri Bn Ali, Mu’azu Mohammed AbdullahiProblem statement: Tree root water-uptake increases soil strength by increasing the soil matric suction due to pore pressure dissipation in a soil mass, inducing increases in vertical total stress or water extraction, the effective stress to which the soil strata is subjected to may also increase. This causes volume change which might be detrimental to geotechnical structures and shallow foundation. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSequential Remediation Processes for Effective Removal of Oil from Contaminated SoilsDeepika Dave, Reema Alharathi, Abdel GhalyProblem statement: Over 2.2 billions of oil and oil products were transported every year and often these activities can result in air, water and soil contamination. Expousure to petroleum products can cause health problems to humn and animals and affect marine animals and wildlife habitats. Approach: The objective of this study was to developed a technology for the remediation of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 18 Nov 2011 · 8,183 accessesView PDFCite
