Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling of Rainfall Characteristics for Monitoring of the Extreme Rainfall Event in Makassar CityWahidah Sanusi, Usman Mulbar, Hendra Jaya et al.Flooding is a common problem that occurs in some regions of Indonesia, including Makassar city. In the planning of flood control, rainfall variables are very necessary as the frequency, intensity and duration of rainfall. The relationship of these variables can be expressed in a curve Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF). The objectives of this study are to identify the best fitting distribution of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 10 Apr 2017 · 7,797 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing the Environmental and Socio-Economic Risk Factors of Climate Vulnerability in Low-Income Settlements of Kitwe City in ZambiaGeorge Kasali, Julius Kanyembo, Mapenzi Phiri, Mainza SibajeneRecent findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have clearly shown that climate change represents an urgent and irreversible threat to human societies and the planet and especially to the social and economic development of Africa.Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine and identify the risk factors associated with climate vulnerability in selected slum settlements of Kitwe … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 25 Mar 2017 · 8,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMANGANESE SPECIATION IN SELECTED AGRICULTURAL SOILS OF PENINSULAR MALAYSIAJ. Habibah, J. Khairiah, B.S. Ismail, M.D. KadderiManganese speciation in selected agricultural soils of Peninsular Malaysia is discussed in this study. Manganese concentration in the Easily Leacheable and Ion Exchangeable (ELFE), Acid Reducible (AR), Organic Oxidizable (OO) and Resistant (RR) fractions of soils developed on weathered rocks, soils of mixed nature, alluvium and peat deposits are described. The total manganese concentration in soils developed on weathered rocks … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 7 Apr 2014 · 7,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOPTIMIZING LOCALIZATION ROUTE USING PARTICLE SWARM-A GENETIC APPROACHL. Lakshmanan, D. C. TomarOne of the most key problems in wireless sensor networks is finding optimal algorithms for sending packets from source node to destination node. Several algorithms exist in literature, since some are in vital role other may not. Since WSN focus on low power consumption during packet transmission and receiving, finally we adopt by merging swarm particle based algorithm with genetic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 20 Jan 2014 · 7,381 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvanced Energy Efficient Passive Clustering Mobility in Wireless Sensor NetworksAouad Siham, Maach Abdelillah, El Ganami DrissWireless sensor networks have a wide applicability and increase deployment in the near future. In most of those applications, the network is composed of an important number of nodes deployed in an extensive area in which not all nodes are directly connected and based on clustering techniques. The Clustering can considerably reduce transmission overhead during flooding. In fact, by using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 24 Oct 2013 · 6,756 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoft Path Water Management in Dry and arid Regions of the Arabian Peninsula by Rainwater HarvestingM. T. Amin, A. A. Alazba, U. ManzoorSaudi Arabia has limited renewable water resources and the groundwater is the main source of water in Saudi Arabia which. With an arid climate, it receives about 50-100 mm/year of rainfall in Central, Eastern and Northern regions. There are few studies investigating the future regional climate change and some has predicted a decrease in precipitation but with extreme climate events … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 13 Apr 2013 · 7,852 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeural Networks Based Nonlinear Time Series Regression for Water Level Forecasting of Dungun RiverSiti Hajar Arbain, Antoni WibowoThe Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) Malaysia and Meteorological Malaysia Department (MMD) has been measured the flood characteristics benchmark which included water level, area inundation, peak inundation, peak discharge, volume of flow and duration of flooding. In terms of water levels, DID have introduced three categories of critical level stages namely normal, alert and danger levels. One of the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 13 Aug 2012 · 7,792 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMercury in Hair of Muskox on the Seward PeninsulaClaudia Ihl, R. Terry Bowyer, Kriya L. Dunlap, Lawrence K. DuffyProblem statement: Muskoxen (Ovibus moschatus) are distant relatives of sheep (Caprinae) and have roamed the Arctic for a million years, with populations reaching North America between 150,000 and 250,000 years ago. Muskox populations could be negatively influenced by climate change and increased exposure to contaminants. Since the snow depth is a critical factor in their ecology, effects could occur throughout … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 24 Mar 2012 · 7,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffective Authentication Technique for Distributed Denial of Service Attacks in Wireless Local Area NetworksM. Moorthy, S. SathiyabamaProblem statement: In 802.11-based Wireless LAN (WLAN), there is an mproved risk of security attacks. To defeat concealed attacks, there is a necessity to authenticate both access points and wireless stations. Approach: We propose a defensive technique for DDoS attack in WLAN. This authentication technique includes an Authentication Server (AS) in addition to the Wireless Station (WS) and Access Point … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 14 Mar 2012 · 7,075 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLeptospirosis in the Tropics: When Prevention Doesn't Easily Sell as a Ton of CureRoger Lee MendozaProblem statement: Human leptospirosis -- the most widespread zoonotic disease -- thrives in tropical and subtropical climates. It is seldom addressed ex ante or prior to an outbreak or expected outbreak by governments of high-risk countries. Whether common, post-exposure treatment with antimicrobial drugs is more cost-efficient than reducing animal reservoir populations was the overarching question that guided this study.
