Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial Analysis and Modeling the Nitrogen Flush after Rainfall Events at the Field Scale in SWATElizabeth Brooke Haney, Richard Lee Haney, Jeffrey George Arnold et al.Current nitrogen (N) models tend to neglect the contribution of the microbial population to the plant available N pool, resulting in an underestimation of yield and possible over or underestimation of N runoff from natural and agricultural landscapes. We used the measurement of microbial activity coupled with the measurement of their food source, water extractable nitrogen (N) and carbon (C), … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2016 · 7,232 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Stochastic and Deterministic Methods for Mapping Environmental Noise from Opencast QuarriesDario Lippiello, Guido Alfaro Degan, Mario PinzariAn accurate mapping of the acoustic spatial variability generated by quarrying plants constitutes an important step in the assessment of the environmental compatibility of the extraction site with the surrounding area. This paper refers to the results of a study comparing performances obtained by stochastic and deterministic methods to determine the acoustic climate of the areas surrounding opencast quarries. To … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 28 Mar 2016 · 7,398 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Medical Imaging and Blood Flow Measurement by using a New Doppler Effect RelationshipFlorian Ion T. PetrescuThe Doppler Effect represents the frequency variation of the waves, received by an observer which is drawing (coming), respectively it’s removing (going), from a wave spring (source). One proposes to study the Doppler Effect for the light waves, generally for the electromagnetic waves. Doppler effect (or Doppler shift), named after Austrian physicist Christian Doppler who proposed it in 1842 in … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 14 Oct 2015 · 12,858 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSafety Health Impacts of Particulate Matter from Excavation Work SitesGiuseppe Pizzo, Marina ClericoEpidemiological studies have shown a linear relationship between airborne particulates and effects on human health. This study examines the risk that can be run by populations which are exposed to significant pollutant sources such as excavation in urban areas for renovation work. The health risk assessment methodology defined by the WHO air quality guidelines for Europe was applied to assess … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Jul 2012 · 7,936 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEcological Capability Assessment for Multiple-Use in Forest Areas Using GIS- Based Multiple Criteria Decision Making ApproachSasan Babaie-Kafaky, Asadollah Mataji, Naser Ahmadi SaniProblem statement: A valuable Source of plant and animal various species in the west of Iran is Zagros forests that, misuses by foresters and local societies has caused severe degradation. In this study, forest areas ecological assessment was carried out with a (GIS)-based MCDM approach for multiple-use planning in order to reduce degradation and improving sustainability. Approach: All of possible … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,892 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGroundwater Nitrate Contamination Risk Assessment: A Comparison of Parametric Systems and Simulation ModellingDario Sacco, Marco Offi, Marina De Maio, Carlo GrignaniGroundwater nitrate contamination is a source of rising concern that has been faced through the introduction of several regulations in different countries. However the methodologies used in the definition of Nitrate Vulnerable Zones are not included in the regulations. The aim of this work was to compare different methodologies, used to asses groundwater nitrate contamination risks, based on parametric systems … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,127 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentifying Nutrient Contributors in North Carolina’s Coastal Plain Blackwater RiversNarayan B. Rajbhandari, Sushama Pradhan, Mauro Di Luzio et al.The goal of this study was to assess potential nitrogen and phosphorus contribution from point sources and non-point sources in North East Cape Fear River (NECFR) watershed in North Carolina. A watershed scale hydrologic model, Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), was used to quantify Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) loadings to North Carolina’s Coastal Plain Blackwater Rivers. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2015 · 7,393 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Mercury Mine Activities on Water Resources at Azzaba-North-East of AlgeriaFadila Alligui, Abdelhak BoutalebProblem statement: Mercury mineralization occurred in Azzaba (north-eastern Algeria) as a part of mercurial Numidian belt, consists of numerous of Hg deposits (Koudiat Sma, Mrasma, Guenicha, Fendek, Ismail and Ras Elma). These deposits are hosted in a variety of lithologies including sandstone, limestone, breccias and conglomerate. The ores occur as cinnabar deposits in Ypresian-Lutetian formations. Although the quantity and type … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuitability Evaluation of Groundwater for Irrigation, Drinking and Industrial PurposesM. A. Hakim, A. S. Juraimi, M. Begum et al.Problem statement: Groundwater is an important source of freshwater for agricultural, drinking and domestic uses in many regions of the world including Bangladesh. Demand of groundwater has been increasing day by day for irrigation by bringing more area under cultivation. As a drinking water the bottled water market currently has an average annual growth rate of 7.4% between 2002 and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,646 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClimate-Driven Productivity Responses and Implications for Genetic Adaptation and Breeding of Boreal Trees in KazakhstanZhadyra Baigazakova, Kuralay Mazarzhanova, Asset Satayev et al.Kazakhstan’s boreal and forest-steppe forests form the southern ecotonal edge of the West Siberian taiga, where relatively small changes in heat and moisture can trigger disproportionate impacts on tree growth, mortality, and regeneration. Although forests cover only ~4% of Kazakhstan, they provide critical ecosystem services: stabilizing hydrological regimes, buffering microclimates, protecting agricultural lands from wind and water erosion, and supporting … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 10 Aug 2026 · 711 accessesView PDFCite
