Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrengthening Conservation in the Tropics: The Water Canon of Costa RicaFrancisco Benavides, John N. VeenstraProblem statement: The tropics contain primary forests with a significant value for society, as they provide services such as carbon sequestration, soil conservation, bio-prospecting, water storage and others. Competing land uses have not favored conservation during the last several decades and therefore the need for an effective public policy instrument to curtail forest loss is evident. Approach: This article analyzed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2009 · 6,910 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRisk Factors to Alcohol Law Violations in the Community: Quasi-Experimental StudyWuttiphong Phakdeekul, Pramote Thongkrajai, Peem Eiamprapai, Manop KanatoProblem statement: Alcohol-related health problems such as chronic and acute diseases, accidents/injuries and social problems are well recognized. Although many countries including Thailand enact laws to control alcohol problems, missing data in Thailand cannot reveal efficacy of law enforcement and compliance with the public. The aim of this study was to investigate the proportion of Thai people violating alcohol laws … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 22 Oct 2011 · 7,236 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Maturity Level in Laying Hen Manure by Chemical and Thermogravimetric AnalysisAlice Dall’Ara, Francesco Antolini, Laura Billi et al.This study aims at investigating maturity levels in manure from laying hens in order to encourage its agronomic re-utilization. In fact the use of unstable/insufficiently mature manure could potentially damage both soils and crops. Effective, easy to reproduce methods are needed in order to assess bio-stabilisation and maturity levels, particularly for biomass that has not undergone conventional composting. This study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBioactivity of Sumac (Rhus Coriaria) Extract as a Green Alternative for Plant Pathogen InhibitionMohammed H. Al-Mamoori, Meisam Zargar, Elena N. Pakina, Fatih DadaşoğluEnvironmental stress caused by pathogenic fungi leads to considerable losses in global crop productivity. Plant-derived extracts are eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives that can inhibit biotic stresses. Sumac (Rhus coriaria) is widely used in industrial and medicinal applications due to its extract rich in secondary metabolites, similar to those found in chemical pesticides and pharmaceuticals. This study aimed to characterize the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 25 Nov 2025 · 2,209 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordLarvicidal Activity of Spondias purpurea (Sineguelas) Leaf and Hylocereus costaricensis (Dragon Fruit) Stem Extracts Against Aedes aegyptiAlfredo V. Corpuz, Nigell Mikhail A. Gallardo, Ace Danielle C. AveroThe study determined the larvicidal activity of the different concentrations of Spondias purpurea and Hylocereus costaricensis extracts by measuring percent mortality in Aedes aegypti larvae, a primary vector of dengue and other arboviral diseases. The hypothesis proposed that combining both extracts would yield greater larvicidal activity due to potential synergistic interactions. Ethanolic extraction was used to isolate a wide array … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 20 Nov 2025 · 2,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDevelopment and Evaluation of Acaricidal Soap Formulated from Azadirachta indica (Neem) and Carica Papaya (Papaya) Leaf Extracts Using Bio-Assay Guided ApproachAlfredo V. Corpuz, Carmela Montoya Florentino, Ace Danielle C. AveroThe environment, human health, and animals are all at risk as a result of the pervasive use of chemical-based products to control ticks and lice in animals, mostly dogs. This investigation was designed to assess the efficacy and physicochemical properties of an acaricidal soap for canines that was formulated using Azadirachta indica and Carica papaya leaf extracts. The soap was … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 27 Nov 2025 · 3,082 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFusarium Wilt of Banana: Challenges and ResilienceShanta Adhikary, Mridula Rahman, Mrinmoy Kundu et al.Banana, as the world's most consumed fruits, are an essential staple crop for nearly 400 million people, boasting a plethora of nutrients crucial for digestive health, gut microbiome balance, and post-exercise recovery. Despite their nutritional significance, the emergence of Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense (Foc), threatens banana cultivation worldwide. This soil-borne fungus exhibits polycyclic behavior, persisting in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 6 Jul 2024 · 6,547 accessesView PDFCite
