Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hydroponic System for Purification of Anaerobically Treated Dairy Manure and Production of Wheat as a Nutritional Forage CropA. E. Ghaly, H.A. Farag, M. VermaA hydroponic system was developed and used for purification of an anaerobically treated dairy manure and production of forage crops. The effect of light duration, seeding rate and wastewater application rate on the crop yield and pollution potential reduction were studied. The results indicated that a wheat forage crop can be produced in 21 days from germination to harvest in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 8,075 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Nutritive Value of Wastewater Grown Barley and its Utilization in Fish FeedA.M. Snow, A. E. GhalyThe feasibility of using wastewater grown barley plants as a component of fish feed was evaluated. The barley plants were grown in a hydroponics system on wastewater from a recirculating aquaculture facility. The effects of wastewater application rate on plant growth and pollution potential reduction were investigated. At the end of the experiment, the average crop heights and yields were … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,878 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Factors Affecting Environmental Behavior of Urban Residents: A Case Study in Tehran City- IranKhalil Kalantari, Hossein Shabanali Fami, Ali Asadi, H. Movahed MohammadiEnvironmental problems such as air and water pollution, urban garbage and climate changes in urban areas are the results of human behavior. Only change in human behavior can reduce these environmental problems. Thus studying attitude and behavior of people is a precondition to change this situation. So the main objective of this study was to find out individual and social … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhytoremediation of Anaerobic Digester Effluent for Water Purification and Production of Animal FeedA. E. Ghaly, H.A. FaragThe application of phytoremediation for purification of an anaerobically treated dairy manure and production of forage crops was investigated. Four crops (two cereals and two grasses) were examined for their ability to grow hydroponically and to remove pollutants (nutrients) from dairy wastewater. The preliminary experiments showed that timothygrass and orchardgrass did not perform well as aquatic plants. Only 24 and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,201 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimating Soil Contamination with Kriging Interpolation MethodFatima Zohra Benmostefa LarguecheThe main objective of this study was to investigate whether Kriging is a useful tool to estimate the spatial distribution of ground pollutants in contaminated land. The second objective of this work was a more practical one. It consists on the identification of areas that should be subjected to remedial actions and also on deciding which contaminant needs to be … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 8,287 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling and Simulation of a Novel Switched Reluctance Motor Drive System with Power Factor ImprovementG. Venkatesan, R. Arumugam, M. Vasudevan et al.This study presents a novel Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) drive system with power factor improvement. Recently, many of the converters with variable speed drives have no input power factor correction circuits. This results in harmonic pollution of the utility supply, which should be avoided. The effect of power factor variation in terms of harmonic content is also analyzed in this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,096 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSupporting the Josephson Interpretation of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions and Stabilization of Nuclear WasteF. Osman, H. Hora, X. Z. Li et al.Brian Josephson appealed at the meeting of the Nobel Laureates July 2004 against the ignorance of physicist to the phenomenon of cold fusion. Though there are good reasons against many publications on this topic but not for all what was reported. It seems to be indicated to summarize the following serious, reproducible and confirmed observations on the reactions of protons … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of Landscape Metrics to Surface Water Biology in the Savannah River BasinMaliha S. Nash, Deborah J. Chaloud, Susan E. FransonSurface water quality for the Savannah River basin was assessed using water biology and landscape metrics. Two multivariate analyses, partial least square and canonical correlation, were used to describe how the structural variation in landscape metrics may affect surface water biology and to define the key landscape variable(s) that contribute the most to variation in surface water quality. The results … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTiO2 Nanoparticles-Coated Polypropylene Copolymer as Photocatalyst on Methylene Blue Photodegradation under Solar ExposureHasniah Aliah, Mahardika Prasetya Aji, Masturi et al.Problem statement: Pollutions of water bodies by dye wastes from textile industries and other sources have become critical consideration. A photocatalytic technique using semiconductor materials such as Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) activated by lights has been considered as one economical method to solve this problem. Approach: We attached titanium dioxide on the surface of polymer grains as photocatalyc agents using a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 29 May 2012 · 7,859 accessesView PDFCite
