Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of GHGs Reduction Potential from Bio-Electricity Generation: Agricultural Waste-to-Energy Project in Thailand as a Case StudyKittipongvises Suthirat, Polprasert ChongrakDriven by concerns of energy security and global climate change, this study aimed to investigate the potential of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions reduction from bio-electricity project in Thailand. A cogeneration plant in which deploying biomass residues from sugar cane production was selected as a case study. By considering the ACM0006 method, namely “Consolidated methodology for electricity and heat generation from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 17 Aug 2016 · 7,212 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,399 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAIR POLLUTION AND CLIMATE CHANGE IN LAGOS, NIGERIA: NEEDS FOR PROACTIVE APPROACHES TO RISK MANAGEMENT AND ADAPTATIONAkinola A. Komolafe, Suleiman Abdul-Azeez Adegboyega, Adeleye Y.B. Anifowose et al.The significance of air pollution as one of the contemporary issues and accelerating factors that propel climate change in both developed and developing countries cannot be overemphasized. The problem of air pollution has seemingly become intractable with the incessant failure of both global and local environmental policies purportedly emplaced to address its devastating trend, particularly in growing megacities of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 12 Jul 2014 · 10,232 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT ON WATERSHED HYDROLOGY: A COMPARISON OF THREE APPROACHESSomsubhra Chattopadhyay, Manoj K. JhaSeveral methods of impact assessment have been developed over the years which basically incorporate future climate projections of atmospheric-ocean circulation based climate models into the simulation of land surface hydrological processes. This study attempted to evaluate three methods of climate change impact assessment: (a) Frequency perturbation method, (b) direct method and (c) delta change method. A well-calibrated hydrologic model, Soil … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Mar 2014 · 8,597 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPetrochemical Supply Chain’s Share in Emission of Green House Gases, Case Study: Shazand Petrochemical ComplexNaser Moharamned, Masoud Aghajani, Faride Atabi, Sahar AzarkamandIn this study petrochemical supply chain shares in global warming is studied by monitoring carbon footprint during manufacturing and distribution phase. For identification and measurement of carbon emissions in petrochemical supply chain, at first step necessary data are collected. Then carbon footprint is calculated in manufacturing process. So GHG is measured during fossil fuel use for chemical productions and electricity … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClimate Change Adaptation in Acid Sulfate LandscapesChuxia LinOxidation of sulfide minerals produces sulfuric acid and consequently creates Acid Sulfate Landscapes (ASLs), which represent one of the most degraded types of land-surface environments. Although acid sulfate-producing weathering is a naturally occurring process, it is markedly facilitated by human intervention. Mining is by far the dominant anthropogenic cause for the creation of inland acid sulfate footprints while land reclamation … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Jul 2012 · 7,382 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards more Manageable Coastal Building; Initial Coastal Building Construction GuidelinesRoslan Talib, Mohd Z. SuliemanProblem statement: As we may not be aware that the coastal construction is different from inland construction. Building in a coastal environment is different from building in an inland area. In general, buildings in coastal areas must be designed and built to withstand higher loads due to its more extreme conditions. Nowadays, the issue of global warming, uncertainty of global … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 22 Aug 2011 · 8,650 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing Forest Plantation Productivity of Exotic and Indigenous Species on Degraded Secondary ForestsYetti Heryati, Arifin Abdu, Mohd Noor Mahat et al.Problem Statement: There is general agreement that human activities such as deforestation and land use change to other land use types have contributed to degraded secondary forests or forestland and increases the emission of greenhouse gases which ultimately led to global climate change. An establishment of forest plantation in particular is regarded as an important approach for sequestering carbon. However, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 10,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMalaria and Climate Change: Discussion on Economic ImpactsMd. Shahin Mia, Rawshan Ara Begum, Ah-Choy Er et al.Problem statement: Climate change is a global environmental change that is adversely affecting human health by causing various health impacts in countries throughout the world. Climate is the most influential driving force of vector-borne diseases such as malaria. Changes in climate factors substantially affect reproduction, development, distribution and seasonal transmissions of malaria. Climate change increases the outbreak of malaria which … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 6,584 accessesView PDFCite
