Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential of Industrial Waste Water Use for Jatropha Cultivation in Arid LandHanaa Hussein Abd El Baky, Mohamed Moursy Hussein, Eman Ahamed IbrahemA pot experiment was conducted in the greenhouse of the National Research Center, Dokki, Cairo, Egypt to investigate the effect of NKP foliar fertilizer and irrigation by Industrial Drainage Water (IDW) on Lipid Peroxidation (LP) and antioxidant enzyme activities [Catalase (CAT), Suproxide Desmatase (SOD) and Ascorbate Peroxidas (APX)] of jatropha plants. Plants fertilized with NPK fertilizers (N0g+P0g+K0g, N3g+P3g+K3g and N6g+P6g+k6g/pot) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 13 Nov 2013 · 7,476 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Potentialof Renewable Energy: Using The Environmental Kuznets Curve ModelJamalludin Sulaiman, Azlinda Azman, Behnaz SabooriThis study examines the potential of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in reducing the impact of carbon emission in Malaysia and the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, which leads to global warming. Using the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis, this study analyses the impact of electricity generated using RES on the environment and trade openness for the period 1980-2009. Using the Autoregressive … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 13 Mar 2013 · 14,783 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotted Plants on Flat Roof as a Strategy to Reduce Indoor Temperature in Malaysian ClimateAsmat Ismail, Muna Hanim Abdul Samad, Abdul Malek Abdul RahmanProblem statement: The phenomenon of global warming or climate change has led to many environmental issues including higher atmospheric temperatures, intensive precipitation, increase greenhouse gaseous emission and of course increase indoor discomfort condition. Researchers worldwide collectively agreed that one way of reducing the impact of global warming is by implementing green roof technology which integrates vegetation, growing medium and water … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,668 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSmart Retrofit Solutions of Buildings toward a Low Carbon WorldErdem Cuce, Pinar Mert CuceIn this short communication, energy-efficient, eco-friendly and low-cost solutions for existing buildings are considered in a holistic manner toward low/zero carbon building concept of near future. Buildings are still responsible for about 40% of total primary energy consumption in the world, hence decisive measures need to be taken promptly due to growing significance of environmental issues driven by fossil fuel … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 29 Aug 2018 · 7,174 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Planning and Design of an Environmentally Friendly Hybrid Energy System for Rural Electrification in IraqAli Saleh Aziz, Sara Ahmed KhudhierCurrent power systems create environmental effects because of the using of fossil fuels, specially coal, since CO2 is released to the atmosphere. Contrary to conventional energy sources, renewable energy sources produce a clean energy which is in general free of pollution, environmentally sustainable and technologically efficient. There is an increased interest in solar energy that can generate electricity with no … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2017 · 7,807 accessesView PDFCite
