Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Atmospheric Turbidity and its Correlation with Climatologically ParametersU. Ali Rahoma, A. H. HassanStudy of Atmospheric turbidity is important for purposes of meteorology, ecology, climatology and monitoring of atmospheric pollution. Linke Turbidity factor (LT) is commonly used to model the attenuation of solar radiation in the atmosphere. The probable dependence on the water vapor content of the relationship linking LT to Angstrom’s turbidity coefficient B, is discussed. In this study, a procedure for … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 28 Dec 2012 · 6,986 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMercury in Hair of Muskox on the Seward PeninsulaClaudia Ihl, R. Terry Bowyer, Kriya L. Dunlap, Lawrence K. DuffyProblem statement: Muskoxen (Ovibus moschatus) are distant relatives of sheep (Caprinae) and have roamed the Arctic for a million years, with populations reaching North America between 150,000 and 250,000 years ago. Muskox populations could be negatively influenced by climate change and increased exposure to contaminants. Since the snow depth is a critical factor in their ecology, effects could occur throughout … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 24 Mar 2012 · 7,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Lead in Soil along the Highways of KosovaAlbert Maxhuni, Fatmir Faiku, Musaj Pacarizi et al.Problem statement: During recent several decades soil was polluted more and more serious by heavy metals because of mining, smelting, irrigating with sewerage and some other human activities. These heavy metals may adversely affect soil ecology, agricultural production or product quality and ground water quality and will ultimately harm to health of mankind by food chain. Approach: We had analyzed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 6 Jan 2012 · 7,077 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeasonal Population Dynamics of the Asian Citrus Psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama in SarawakStephen Leong Chan Teck, Abang Fatimah, Andrew Beattie et al.Problem statement: Effective control of phytophagous pests requires a thorough understanding of their seasonal population dynamics, dispersion behavior, natural enemy activity and climate. To date, although very little detail information had been published on the ecology of Diaphorina citri. The objective of this investigation was to test through field experiment the hypothesis that the major factors influencing local D. citri … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 27 Dec 2011 · 9,551 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSummarizing Spatial Distribution Density, Movement Patterns and Food Resources to Study the Impacts of Logging and Forest Conversion on Orang-utan PopulationRaymond Alfred, Koh Pei Hue, Lee Shan Khee, Rayner AlfredProblem statement: Orang-utan is classified as a totally protected species and is listed as an endangered species in Borneo. The survival of this species is highly dependent on the existence and quality of the lowland forest of Sabah. However, most of the pristine habitats in the lowland area have been converted into other land use activities such as a large … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDoes Predator Go for Size Selection or Preferential Toxic-Nontoxic Species Under Limited Resource?Joydeep Pal, S. Bhattacharya, J. ChattopadhyayProblem statement: Selectivity is common in predator-prey interaction but the selection mechanism is still unexplored and a debatable issue in modern theoretical and experimental ecology for numerous species across the globe. In present investigation we emphasized the hypothesis that the zooplankton is less inclined to opt the food based on size selectivity criteria than the preferential selectivity for the safe … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,903 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConservation, Renewability and Development of Pabung Patham &#34Flood Plains&#34 In the Chi River Basin by Community ParticipationSuparb Boonchai, Bunsom Yodmali, Therdchai PantachaiProblem statement: At present Pabang Patham “Flood Plains” have been fading away from new generations’ memories because they have known only community forest or “Pa Chum Chon” many kinds of plants, herbs, aquatic animals, wild animals and insects are reduced. Furthermore, some kinds of them are become extinct in the future if no conservation. Approach: A qualitative research was used … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,508 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Utilization of Peat, Lignite and Industrial Wastes in the Production of Mineral-Organic FertilizersKrystyna Hoffmann, Józef HoffmannThe results of chemical analyses of the composition of peat, lignite, turkey droppings and the potato industry effluent are presented. The results indicate that the substances can be used in mineral-organic fertilizer recipes. Although lignite and peat do not contain assimilable nutrients, from the ecology and pedology point of view they are valuable components of mineral-organic fertilizers. In order to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,481 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControl of Oxygen Concentration by Using a Carbonaceous SubstanceMohanad Jadan, Jihad Said AddasiThe control of oxygen concentration in gas flow may be used in chemical industry, heat power engineering, ecology, automobile construction and other industrial branches. This control is realized over a broad range of oxygen concentrations. The control of the oxygen concentration is based on passing of gas flow through a measuring cavity of radio spectrometer and measurement of a magnetic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,908 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Ecological Criteria of Noise Control With Application of AbsorbentsM. A. Al-NawaflehThe operation conditions of the industrial equipment, acoustic parameters essentially depend on type of the sound field (free, diffuse or mixed). Besides the effect of the noise control of the machine itself, the field type also important, which in turn depends on the degree and quality of acoustic preparation of the workshop. The criteria is an estimation of applicability broadband … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 6,805 accessesView PDFCite
