Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDistribution of β-Glucosidase Activity within Aggregates of a Soil Amended with Organic FertilizersSaeid Hojati, Farshid NourbakhshProblem statement: Distribution pattern of enzyme activities in soil aggregate size classes as affected by organic amendments is not well understood. Approach: A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of repeated annual application of Cow Manure (CM), Sewage Sludge (SS) and Municipal Solid Waste Compost (MSW) on the distribution of β-Glucosidase (βG) activity within aggregates of a soil. Soil … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption Study of Several Hydrophobic Organic Contaminants on an Aquifer MaterialBarbara Ruffino, Mariachiara ZanettiProblem statement: Aim of the present research was to determine coefficient of partition KD between soil and groundwater for five hydrophobic organic pollutants (benzene, chlorobenzene, trichloroethylene-TCE, perchloroethylene-PCE and toluene) in an Italian aquifer material characterized by a low organic carbon content (fOC = 0.00262) by means of laboratory batch tests. Initial aqueous concentrations (quite different among the five compounds) were … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,366 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 abstractSeasonal Distribution of Organic Carbon in the Surface Sediments of the Terengganu Nearshore Coastal AreaS. Hasrizal, B. Y. Kamaruzzaman, I. Sakri et al.Problem statement: The distribution of organic carbon in the surface sediment is a crucial indicator for current productivity in the ocean especially in the nearshore area. The difference of organic carbon in the surface sediment reflects the influence of current movement on the bottom sediment. Approach: This study was carried out to oversee the difference of organic carbon distribution during … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,473 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation and Beneficiation of Feldspar from Arkosic Sandstone in South Jordan for Application in the Ceramic IndustryMousa GougazehThe main purpose of the present study was to investigate the beneficiation and upgrading processes of a Jordanian feldspar ores to be finally implemented in the ceramic industry. The experimental work was conducted to evaluate the role of particle size distribution, chemical composition, mineral content and the magnetic impurities (Fe2O3 +TiO2 contents). The beneficiation of the 500-45 μm fractions, which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrace Elements Distribution in the Brain of Stressed RatsZerrouk Kamal, Mohamed Najimi, Mohammed Chigr et al.Because of their ability to modulate the Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) a receptor complex, the principal aim of the current work is to assess two essential heavy metals: Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) by atomic absorption in different brain areas of stressed rats. To do so, we investigated the effect of acute immobilization stress (single 1-hour session) on the distribution … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 14 Sep 2012 · 7,277 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffective Thermophilic Composting of Crop Residues for Inactivation of Tobacco Mosaic VirusA.E. Ghaly, F. Alkoaik, A. Snow, R. SinghAn effective thermophilic composting bioreactor, in which a homogenous distribution of temperature was maintained at 63-65°C by the addition of a bioavailable carbon and low mixing, was developed. The bioreactor operated on a mixture of tomato plant residues-wood shavings-municipal solid waste compost infected with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). The initial C: N ratio and moisture content of the compost mixture … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,963 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption of Nickel and Zinc by Residual SoilsNur ’Aishah Zarime, W. Y. Wan Zuhairi, Sivarama KrishnaSoil has long been utilized as low cost liner material to prevent contamination from leachate to groundwater media. To find a suitable soil material for this purpose is a great challenge. This study describes the potential use of residual soil to functions as engineered clay liner for waste disposal landfill in Malaysia. Three types of residual soils were investigated namely … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 5 Dec 2014 · 7,116 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Diversity of Some Saudi Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.) Landraces Based on Two Types of Molecular MarkersMohamed Abdel Hamid Mohamed El-Awady, Adel Ahmed El-Sayed El-Tarras, Salah El-Din El-AssalProblem statement: Very little is known about the genetic diversity and morphological variability present in barley landrace in KSA, a country experiencing loss of biodiversity because of replacement of landraces with modern landraces. Approach: The molecular markers RAPD and ISSR were used as an efficient tools to estimate the intra-and inter-cultivar polymorphism among six barley KSA landraces collected from different … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 12 Mar 2012 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Aliphatic Hydrocarbons in Sediments of Shatt Al-Arab River, Southern Iraq, North East Arabian GulfWisam Abdul-Ameer FaridShatt Al-Arab River is one of the important rivers for water supply, industry and irrigation in Basrah City, south of Iraq. It's also supply drinking water to users in the region. Despite the significance of this river, there is a lack of previous studies dealing with petroleum pollution especially for geochemical studies of organic matter in the river sediments using … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 29 Jan 2018 · 7,458 accessesView PDFCite
