Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhosphorus Biogeochemical Cycling in a Sugar Cane AgroecosystemD. Sequera, D. Lopez-HernandezThe annual harvest of sugarcane plantations together with the burning of the crop before harvest, a common practice of management of sugarcane plantations in South America, leads to the loss of significant amounts of nutrients in those agroecosystems. Thus prescribed burning operations could progressively diminish the level of soil organic matter and increase nutrient deficiency in soils of sugar cane … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 29 Jan 2013 · 7,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFUNGAL LEACHING OF IRON ORE: ISOLATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND BIOLEACHING STUDIES OF PENICILLIUM VERRUCULOSUMNeha Chaudhary, Trina Banerjee, Neha Ibrahim, G. SibiPyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical technologies for recovery of metals from low grade ores require high energy and capital costs. Use of microorganisms in leaching of mineral ores is gaining importance due to the implementation of stricter environmental rules. Microbes convert metal compounds into their water soluble forms and are biocatalysts of leaching processes. This study was performed to isolate and characterize … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 25 Sep 2014 · 8,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVegetation Assessment of Peat Swamp Forest Using Remote SensingSeca Gandaseca, John Sabang, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: Peat covers 1.6 million ha (13%) of the 12.4 million ha land area of Sarawak and some of peat swamp forests have been logged. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of logging operation on peat swamp forest in this area. Approach: The study used a remote sensing technique to assess vegetation cover in a … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 9,136 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimple and Rapid Method of Isolating Humic Acids from Tropical Peat Soils (Saprists)Shamsuddin Rosliza, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Kasim Susilawati et al.Problem Statement: The isolation (extraction, fractionation and purification) of humic acids (HA) from soils is laborious, time consuming and expensive. The extraction, fractionation and purification periods of these substances vary from 12 h-7 days. In order to facilitate production of HA at competitive cost, this study was conducted to investigate whether a simple and rapid procedure could be developed for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 8,558 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeochemical and Petrology Properties of Zafarghand Index and Kahang Deposit of Porphyry Copper-MolybdenumMohsen Dehghanipoodeh, Hooshang Asadi Haroni, Mahin Mansouri Esfahani et al.The probability of the occurrence of porphyry copper ore associated with subduction zone of the Neo-Tethys ocean and volcanic arc of Iran (Urumieh-Dokhtar) justifies the necessity of exploration and prospection of this type of ore in Iran. Zafarghand index and Kahang deposit of porphyry copper-molybdenum located in Isfahan province, center of Iran using Satellite data interpretations were discovered in the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 19 Nov 2020 · 6,805 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPyritization of the Coastal Sediments in the Kelantan Plains in the Malay Peninsula during the HoloceneM.S.K. Enio, J. Shamshuddin, C.I. Fauziah, M.H.A. HusniProblem statement: For a number of geological reasons a proportion of the present coastal plains in the Malay Peninsula were inundated by seawater in the past when pyrite in some of the soils is believed to have been mineralized. Random survey of these sites showed a unique distribution and depth of pyritic layer in the soils along the coastal plains. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 16 Aug 2011 · 8,744 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRocks with Asbestos: Risk Evaluation by Means of an Abrasion TestBellopede Rossana, Clerici Carlo, Marini Paola, Zanetti GiovannaNaturally occurring asbestos and asbestiform minerals can be found in metamorphic rocks and in the soil of the alluvial plains. Problem statement: The definition of the "free-asbestos rock" and the limit to consider a rock or a soil safe is still a controversial issue. American and European laws did not present any method to define the hazard of the green … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,672 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Selenium-Enriched Yeast (Kluyveromyces marxianus) Biomass in a whey-based Culture MediumNicolás Gurdo, Mario Calafat, Diego Gabriel Noseda, Isabel GigliTwo important aspects of agriculture intensification are the reduction in the concentration of specific soil minerals that affects livestock production and the increase of agricultural by-products, which produce environmental pollution. In this regard, whey - a cheese by-product-often is considered a wasted-product. Due to its lactose concentration, (4.5%), when whey is discarded without treatment generates a high Biological Oxygen Demand … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 28 Jun 2018 · 11,379 accessesView PDFCite
