Njike Ngaha, Dieudonné L. BitomThe Douala Basin is one of three units of the Cameroonian coastal basin in the Gulf of Guinea, formed from the east-west extension between African and South American plates generated during the opening of South Atlantic in the Early Cretaceous. This basin contains sediments from Lower Cretaceous to present. The Cretaceous depositional environments are well understood whereas there is very … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2015 · 7,936 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Soil and Water Assessment Tool Model to Estimate Sediment Yield in Kaw LakeD. Alemayehu, R. Srinivasan, P. DaggupatiKaw Lake is one of the reservoirs built by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1976 for the purpose of flood control, recreation, water supply, navigation and fish and wildlife conservation. The Arkansas River flows from Colorado and Kansas before reaching Oklahoma. As it passes through these states, the water carries various kinds of pollutants such as metals from mine … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 16 Dec 2014 · 8,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption of Nickel and Zinc by Residual SoilsNur ’Aishah Zarime, W. Y. Wan Zuhairi, Sivarama KrishnaSoil has long been utilized as low cost liner material to prevent contamination from leachate to groundwater media. To find a suitable soil material for this purpose is a great challenge. This study describes the potential use of residual soil to functions as engineered clay liner for waste disposal landfill in Malaysia. Three types of residual soils were investigated namely … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 5 Dec 2014 · 7,116 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBIOGAS PROCTION FROM ANAEROBIC CO-DIGESTION OF COW DUNG AND ORGANIC WASTES (NAPIER PAK CHONG I AND FOOD WASTE) IN THAILAND: TEMPERATURE EFFECT ON BIOGAS PRODUCTLertluck Saitawee, KanokornHussaro, Sombat Teekasap, Noppadon CheamsawatBiogas production has been attracting increasing attention as a biofuel of the future because biogas technology not only constitutes a biofuel source, but also can be applied in the various environmental pollutants. Anaerobic digestion of high solid slurries (such as food waste and cow dung) is typically performed in continuously reactor (by force substrate flow) to avoid problems with a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 1 Apr 2014 · 8,141 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological Features of Rodoretto Valley Deep-Seated Gravitational Slope DeformationsMaria Gabriella Forno, Andrea Lingua, Stefano Lo Russo, Glenda TaddiaA new, detailed survey of the Rodoretto Valley (Western Alps, Italy) has been conducted resulting in the production of a new morphological and quaternary geological map of the area. The authors used the innovative Solid (True) Ortho-Photo (STOP) technology integrated with navigation sensors (Global Navigation Satellite System-GNSS/Inertial Measurement Unit-IMU). This state-of-the-art procedure has demonstrated several operational advantages during both the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 9 Feb 2013 · 7,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBIOCHEMICAL, NUTRIENT AND INHIBITORY CHARACTERISTICS OF STREPTOMYCES CULTURED FROM A HYPERSALINE ESTUARY, THE LAGUNA MADRE (TEXAS)Luis E. Espinoza, Anita L. Davelos Baines, Kristine L. LoweStreptomyces are common soil bacteria that produce secondary metabolites, including several antibiotics; however, the characteristics of marine Streptomyces are largely unknown. Sediment samples were taken from 3 sites in the Laguna Madre to isolate marine Streptomyces. Sediment was diluted, spread onto synthetic seawater media to estimate the total bacterial density of the samples and spread onto starch casein agar to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 7 Feb 2013 · 7,219 accessesView PDFCite
