Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Earthquake Demolition Debris on the Quality of GroundwaterM. S. Benmenni, K. BenrachediProblem statement: Debris from construction or demolition/deconstruction processes have no significant impact on the environment as they are res-usable and inert. This has been also long admitted for solid waste generated by the demolition of damaged cities following violent earthquakes. Approach: This study is a contribution to the assessment of actual impact on the quality of groundwater of buried demolition … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlasma Bilirubinaemia; A Physiologic Index for Monitoring Cellular Effects of Amalar, Chloroquine, Cotecxin and FansidarE. O. Jimmy, I. F. UsohProblem statement: Antimalaria drugs are highly consumed in Africa due to increase prevalent of malaria attacks. Though the disease is often cured with some antimalarials the physiologic effects of such drugs may not be considered in pharmacologic preparations and in prescriptions. Such non consideration is likely to result in serious health problems which may outweigh the effects of malaria disease … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,544 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Control of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Causal Agent of Sunflower Head and Stem Rot Disease, by Use of Soil borne Actinomycetes IsolatesF. Baniasadi, G. H. Shahidi Bonjar, A. Baghizadeh et al.Problem statement: High level of biosafety and non adverse effects on the environment of biocontrol strategies of pest management, are priorities of tomorrow's world agriculture. Actinomycetes are active biocontrol agents due to their antagonistic properties against wide range of plant pathogens particularly fungi. Fungal pathogens are liable for a big part of damages in agriculture economy. Approach: In the present … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 11,169 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison the Proposed Probabilistic-Based Time-History and the Traditional PSHA ApproachA. NicknamThe main objective of this article is to demonstrate the ability of our technique in estimating the probabilistic-based time-history to be used in dynamic analysis of structures. The result of using our technique is compared with that of traditional approach proposed by Cornell (Cornell, 1968), in the form of response spectrum through a case study. Good agreement of the two … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 6,948 accessesView PDFCite
