Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModelisation of Nitrification under Inhibited Environment by Moving Bed Bio-Film Reactor TechniquePham Thi Hong Duc, Le Van Cat, Jean-Luc VaselProblem statement: Nitrification by Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) involves physical, chemical and biological processes to remove toxic ammonia for aquaculture that are governed by a variety of parameters, like substrate and dissolved oxygen concentrations, organic matters, temperature, pH, alkalinity and turbulence level, which impact negatively or positively on nitrification kinetics. Approach: The situation becomes more serious as the reaction … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 6,946 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSome Effects of Abiotic Stress on Infection of Dyer’s Woad (Isatis tinctoria L.) by Puccinia thlaspeos C. Schub.: Implications for Biological ControlElizabeth Thomas, Bradley Ray KroppProblem statement: The rust pathogen, Puccinia thlaspeos, is being studied as a potential biocontrol agent for the noxious weed dyer’s woad. Although its disease etiology is well understood, very little has been learned about the effect of environmental stresses on infection. Approach: Dyer’s woad plants were exposed to different levels of oxidative stress, salinity stress, osmotic stress, dehydration, and cold … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 8,715 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Effects of Drought and Salt Stress on Germination and Seedling Growth of Pennisetum divisum (Gmel.) Henr.Wafa’a A. Al-TaisanProblem statement: Water stress due to drought and salinity is probably the most significant abiotic factor limiting plant and also crop growth and development. Salinity and drought stresses are physiologically related, because both induce osmotic stress and most of the metabolic responses of the affected plants are similar to some extent. Water deficit affects the germination of seed and the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 27,311 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Water Properties and Geostrophic Currents in Fiji Waters Before and After Tropical Cyclone GeneShivneel Prasad, Than Aung, Awnesh SinghProblem statement: Water properties influence ocean primary production and drive the ocean food chain. This study depicts changes in temperature and salinity and its effects on geostrophic currents near Fiji before and after Tropical Cyclone (TC) Gene. Approach: Available Argo float data from 6 January-4 February 2008 were used for analysis since TC Gene passed the area on 28 January … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,947 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Air Entry Values on Hysteresis of Water Retention Curve in Saline SoilS. Konyai, V. Sriboonlue, V. Trelo-GesProblem statement: The saline soil in Northeast Thailand is caused by saline groundwater rise in unsaturated zone to accumulate as salt at soil surface. Approach: This problem had been exacerbated in the last few decades by human activities e.g., deforestation and salt mining. This salinity problem can be solved by capillary rise control of saline groundwater flow. Results: The soil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,937 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of the 2004 'Boxing Day' Tsunami on Water Properties and Currents in the Bay of BengalNaveendra Reddy, Than Aung, Awnesh SinghProblem statement: Variation of temperature, salinity and geostrophic current in the Bay of Bengal due to the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami was investigated in this project using ARGO float and absolute dynamic height topography data. This was done to determine the effect of the tsunami on the water properties in the bay. Approach: The study area was between latitudes 5º … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,386 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing the Effect of a Dumpsite to Groundwater Quality in Payatas, PhilippinesGlenn L. Sia SuThe study assessed and compared the groundwater quality of 14 selected wells continuously used in the with (Payatas) and without dumpsite (Holy Spirit) areas at the Payatas estate, Philippines. Water quality monitoring and analyses of the bio-physico-chemical variables (pH, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), total coliform, conductivity, salinity, nitrate-nitrogen, sulfate, color, total chromium, total lead and total … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 9,466 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoluble Proteins, Proline, Carbohydrates and Na+/K+ Changes in Two Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) Cultivars under in vitro Salt StressFariba Amini, Ali A. EhsanpourThe effect of NaCl stress on soluble proteins, proline, carbohydrates and Na+/K+ of two tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) cultivars Isfahani and Shirazy were studied. Seeds were germinated on medium containing only water agar, then transferred to MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of NaCl (0, 40, 80, 120 and 160 mM) for 21 days. Increasing of salinity resulted in increasing … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 8,768 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Ecological Factors on Snails Infection by Schistosoma japonicum in Central Sulawesi, IndonesiaSutrisnawati Mardin, Teguh Wahju Sardjono, Loeki Enggar Fitri et al.In Central Sulawesi, Napu valley and Lindu Lake (Indonesia), Schistosoma are spread in the host snails (Oncomelania hupensis lindoensis). In the present work, the influence of ecological factors on the spreading of Schistosoma japonicum cercariae infection in the snails were analyzed. The Oncomelania hupensis lindoensis snails were collected and analyzed by ring method in the form of graphs and matrices. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 5 Apr 2018 · 8,488 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation and Comparison of the Quantitative and Qualitative Frequency Distribution of the RiversVijay P. Singh, Mohsen Ghane, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari et al.The entrance of pollutants from human activities to the surface water has seriously threatened the quality of water. TDS is an important qualitative parameter of water that describes the water salinity by measuring the concentration of total dissolved solids. First, using TDS and discharge data of the Cuyahoga River, Ohio, the partial and annual data sets were obtained. Then, partial … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 16 Oct 2017 · 8,487 accessesView PDFCite
