Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Integrated Approach to Modelling of Flood Hazards in the Rapidly Growing City of Osogbo, Osun State, NigeriaSuleiman Abdul-Azeez Adegboyega, Oluchi Christiana Onuoha, Komolafe Akinola Adesuji et al.In recent times, the swift and uncoordinated urban expansion in the medium sized city of Osogbo has increasingly encroached on the environmental sensitive areas. This uncoordinated exploitation of the ecological fragile areas for urban development has triggered urban flooding, which poses serious threat to human lives and properties in the city. This study therefore utilized geospatial technologies to generate flood … …Space Science International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 8 Jan 2018 · 13,829 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstablishing an Evacuation Network: A Path Ranking ApproachHoussein Alaeddine, Kamal Serrhini, Mindjid Maizia, Emmanuel NéronThe evacuation of population exposed to flood hazard requires the establishment of a specific transportation network. This is to compute escape routes to be taken by affected population. At evacuation time, inhabitants of affected area must be evacuated through transportation network to safety area. The main objective of this work is to provide assistance to rescue forces in terms of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 12 · 3 Dec 2019 · 7,899 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractUnderstanding the Relationship between Aquaculture and Poverty: The Case of Gurudaspur, NatoreSaman Saad, Raisa Bashar, Farah Yeasmin, Nazmul Ahsan KhanAquaculture is perceived as a source of income and economic raise in several small towns and villages of Bangladesh and Gurudaspur of Natore region is no different. From the 1990s onward it brought about a great economic boost. However, in the last decade and at present, several negative externalities of this practice have started to surface, including severe water-logging (after … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 7 Feb 2018 · 9,442 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractNanotechnology: Engineering Materials for a Better 21st CenturyMeng Qiao, Xiyun Liu, Lei ZhangToday, we are living in the midst of a technological revolution, where nanotechnology is demonstrating a greater commitment to make people’s everyday lives better. The aim of nanotechnology is to create new materials with desired properties by engineering their nanoscale structures and components. One of the most important impacts of nanotechnology is in medical diagnosis and treatment. Cardiovascular diseases such … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 26 Nov 2014 · 8,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGroundwater Flow Systems and Their Response to Climate Change: A Need for a Water-System View ApproachJoel J. Carrillo-Rivera, Antonio CardonaProblem statement: The interest in early hydrogeological studies was the aquifer unit, as it is the physical media that stores and permits groundwater transfers from the recharge zone to the discharge zone, making groundwater available to boreholes for water extraction. Approach: Recently, the aquifer concept has been complemented by the groundwater flow system theory, where groundwater may be defined by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 7 Apr 2012 · 8,077 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProgressive Content-Sensitive Data Retrieval in Sensor NetworksBo Yang, Manohar MareboyanaProblem statement: For a sensor network comprising autonomous and self-organizing data sources, efficient similarity-based search for semantic-rich resources (such as video data) has been considered as a challenging task due to the lack of infrastructures and the multiple limitations (such as band-width, storage and energy). While the past research discussed much on routing protocols for sensor networks, few works have … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 6,845 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Modeling for Flood Hazard Mapping Using Watershed Modeling SystemSeyedeh S. Sadrolashrafi, Thamer A. Mohamed, Ahmad R.B. Mahmud et al.In this stduy, a new framework which integrates the Geographic Information System (GIS) with the Watershed Modeling System (WMS) for flood modeling is developed. It also interconnects the terrain models and the GIS software, with commercial standard hydrological and hydraulic models, including HEC-1, HEC-RAS, etc. The Dez River Basin (about 16213 km2) in Khuzestan province, IRAN, is domain of study … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 10,792 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Rainfall Factor of Climate Change Effects on the Agricultural Environment: A ReviewOlumuyiwa Idowu Ojo, Masengo Francois IlungaThe study of the climatic elements is vital for sustainable development of agriculture of a region. Particularly, rainfall temporal analyses for trends, fluctuations and periodicities are necessary as such can indirectly furnish the status of an environment. A trend may be quite instructive for different segments of the human and natural systems. Extreme weather events that can lead to events … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 10 · 26 Oct 2017 · 8,335 accessesView PDFCite
