Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalyzing Food Security through Flood Recession Farming: A Case Study of the Upper East Region, GhanaJohn Aloba Atubiga, Alobit Baba AtubigaSustainable Development Goals one and two aim at reducing poverty and eradicating hunger by the year 2030. However, the realization of these goals, especially among subsistent farmers in Africa, is marred by the occurrence of climatic events such as floods and drought which have retarded crop production in the sub-region. This means that there is a need to explore other … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 5 Dec 2022 · 5,649 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of an Arduino-Based Robotic Arm Yam Heap MakerAgbese Raphael, Dagwa Ishaya Musa, Nurudeen Abdulhakeem Hassan, Adekunle JoshuaIn this study, a prototyperobotic arm yam heap-maker using Arduino was developed. Nigeria produces around75% of global yam production which is widely consumed as staple foods in Africaand Asia and as raw materials for processing into other finished goods. Theproduction of this economic commodity is largely crude and labor-intensive assuch the need to adopt a modern approach to farming. The … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 2 Sep 2022 · 6,463 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Animal Manure Application Rates on Soil Moisture Conservation at, Somali Regional State, EthiopiaTekilil WoldeThe Ethiopian economy is mainly agrarian. It employs 85% of the population and contributes 45% of the gross domestic product and 90% of the national export earnings but agriculture in Ethiopia is dominated by rainfed farming with low productivity specially dry land part of the country like Somali region. As a result, crops have severe moisture stress through their growth … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 15 Aug 2019 · 7,744 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFormation of Post-Fire Water Repellent Layers on Nothofagus glauca (Hualo) Forests, After the Historical “Las Máquinas” Wildfire in South-Central ChilePablo A. Garcia-Chevesich, Eduardo Martínez, Alejandro García et al.The Chilean summer of 2017 was the worst wildfire season by far. Hundreds of wildfires burned a total of more than half a million hectares of forested land (native forests and forest plantations). A significant portion of the burned area was occupied by Hualo (Nothofagus glauca (Phil.) Krasser), a native forest species widely distributed in central Chile. Using the water-drop-penetration-time … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2019 · 9,388 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of the Drainage Slope Experimental Study on the Manning Roughness CoefficientKaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Hossein Gholami, Shahide Dehghan, Morteza SoltaniIt was Determined the current persistence components were significant in hydraulic designs of highland zone with sharp slopes. It was defined to examine the consequence of gradient, rapidity, depth and dimension of coarseness on the manning coarseness factor in this superficial river area. This is an investigational education about manning coarseness defined for highland zones protected by elements in three … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2021 · 6,712 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFractionation of Organic Carbon in Arial Beel Wetland Soils of BangladeshMonera Akter Eva, Mahmudul Islam Piash, Md. Faruque Hossain, Zakia ParveenA study was conducted to determine the organic carbon fractions in the vertical sections of a benchmark wetland soil of Bangladesh (Arial Beel) and their dynamics that directly affect the biogeochemistry of soil, water and plant biomass ecosystem. Two distinctive soil series viz. Sara and Arial are characterized such as pH, moisture content, textural class, CEC, organic carbon (SOC), bulk … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 4 May 2018 · 9,134 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of Natural and Artificial Recharge of Shahreza Plain Groundwater in Isfahan Using CRD and Hantush ModelsMohsen Nekooei, Jahangir Abedi Koupai, Saeid Eslamian et al.Cumulative Rainfall Departure model (CRD) is widely used for estimation of ground natural recharge. This model is based on the groundwater balance and it requires random parameters. Moreover, an increase in the static level under artificial recharge facility is simulated using diffusion equations. Since Shahreza Plain is located in an arid and semi-arid area and given that rainfall is the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2020 · 6,797 accessesView PDF Cite
