Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOMPARING GIBBS ENERGY RELATIONSHIPS FOR AMMONIA VOLATILIZATIONS FROM AGRICULTURAL SOILS FOR POTATO PRODUCTIONGuodong Liu, Yuncong Li, Ashok AlvaSoil drought, that can be enhanced by global warming increases ammonia (NH3) volatilization. This laboratory study was conducted with two soils: Krome Gravelly Loam (KGL) from Florida and Warden Silt Loam (WSL) from Washington State and two fertilizers: Ammonium sulfate [(NH4)2SO4] or ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3). Two water regimes including 20 and 80% Field Capacity (FC) were used at 20°C which … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 8 Feb 2014 · 7,487 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE GROUP COMPOSITION OF METAL COMPOUNDS IN SOIL AS AN INDEX OF SOIL ECOLOGICAL STATESaglara Sergeevna Mandzhieva, Tatiana Mikhailovna Minkina, Svetlana Nikolaevna Sushkova et al.A system of indices for assessing the soil ecological state as based upon the group composition of heavy metal compounds in soils is proposed. The group composition of heavy metal were determined using combined fractionation including sequential and parallel extractions (1 N NH4Ac, pH 8; 1% EDTA in NH4Ac and 1 N HCl). It was shown that strongly bound compounds … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 7 Dec 2013 · 7,593 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamical Model for Determining Human Susceptibility to Dengue FeverSurapol Naowarat, Thanon Korkiatsakul, I. Ming TangProblem statement: Mathematical models are a useful tool for understanding and describing the transmission of diseases such as dengue fever, one of the most prevalently emerging diseases common to tropical and subtropical areas throughout South East Asia. By taking into account human susceptibility to disease, the dynamics of a dengue disease model is proposed. Approach: Using standard methods for analyzing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 28 Sep 2011 · 7,735 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation on the Effect of the Coupled and Uncoupled Formulation on Transient Seepage by the Finite Element MethodAhad Ouria, Mohammad M. Toufigh, Ali Nakhai2-D transient seepage beneath a dam was investigated by the finite element method. Governing equations were considered in coupled and uncoupled methods. At first stage, the fluid continuity equation for compressible porous media considered as uncoupled. Because of the occurrence of seepage forces, and their interaction with the fluid pore pressure, particularly in high compressible soils, uncoupled methods seem to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,073 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical Estimation of Geotherm for Multi Layer Model from Heat Flow Equation: A Case Study of Parts of Chad Sedimentary Basin, NigeriaEmujakporue Godwin OmokenuThe subsurface temperature distribution of part of Chad sedimentary basin has been determined by applying analytical solution for multi-layer-model in solving the 1-D steady state conductive heat flow equation. Four-layer model was adopted because the Chad basin is made up of four lithostratigraphies. In this model, equilibrium geotherm of the four layers was computed by considering each layer separately while … …Physics International, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 6 Oct 2017 · 8,314 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractON RESERVES, STABILITY AND THE MAXIMUM SUSTAINABLE YIELD PROBLEMArild WikanDue to the fact that several species of commercial interest have been overexploited throughout the years it is important to understand how harvest and other factors like introducing reserves influence the dynamic behaviour of a population with respect to stability and possible extinction. Therefore, simple one-population models are analysed and it is shown that harvest acts in a strong stabilizing … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 24 Oct 2013 · 6,816 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of the Exergy of Four Wheat StrawsYaning Zhang, A. E. Ghaly, Bingxi LiExergy is a measurement of how far a certain material deviates from a state of equilibrium with the environment. It is a useful tool for improving the efficiency of energy-resource use. The exergy values of four wheat straws (Absolvant, Max, Monopol and Vuka) were determined in this study. The effects of physical and chemical properties (moisture content, ash content, LHV … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 7,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComprehensive Investigation into the Exergy Values of Six Rice HusksYaning Zhang, A.E. Ghaly, Bingxi LiExergy is a measurement of how far a certain system or material deviates from a state of equilibrium with the environment and it is a useful tool for improving the efficiency of energy-resource use. Based on the previous work, the exergy values of six rice husks were investigated in this study. The effects of physical and chemical properties were also … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 10 Jun 2013 · 7,596 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRiver Embankment and Bank Failure: A Study on Geotechnical Characteristics and Stability AnalysisMd. Bellal Hossain, Toshinori Sakai, Md. Zakaria HossainProblem statement: Embankment failure and riverbank erosion are common problem in Bangladesh. Almost every year earthen embankments and riverbanks are facing problems like erosion, breaching or retirements. Among many reasons the major causes are considered due to the use of geotechnically unstable materials, improper method of construction, seepage and sliding. In this study the problem is considered geotechnical point of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 11,002 accessesView PDFCite
