Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePrevalence and Correlates of PTSD among High School Students After the Earthquake Disaster in the City of Bam, IranHassan Ziaaddini, Nouzar Nakhaee, Kolsoom BehzadiEarthquake and its consequences have become recognized as a growing health problem in recent years in developing countries. On 26 December, 2003 at 5.26 Am, the town of Bam in the south eastern part of Iran suffered an earthquake of 6.3 on the Richter scale, killing more than 26000 people. This study was aimed to investigate the prevalence of PTSD … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,966 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleProduction of Levan by Bacillus licheniformis for Use as a Soil Sealant in Earthen Manure Storage StructuresAbdel E. Ghaly, F. Arab, N.S. Mahmoud, J. HigginsManure application is not permitted on frozen land in Canada and therefore, manure management and storage are the primary issues facing the agri-food industry. Low-cost, effective and environmentally safe earthen manure storage (EMS) facilities will lower costs and help make the livestock industry more competitive and efficient. The goal of this study was to develop a biological sealing technology for … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,977 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCharacterization of the Earth's Surface State by Unsupervised Classification: Case of Vegetated, Aquatic and Mineral SurfacesJean-Claude Okaingni, Sié Ouattara, Adles Kouassi, Alain ClémentIn this study, we propose an unsupervised classification scheme based on the Dempster-Shafer Theory (TDS) and the Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT) to characterize vegetated, aquatic and mineral surfaces. From pre-processed ASTER satellite images (georeferencing, geometric correction and 15 m re-sampling), neo-channels were produced by determining the spectral indices NDVI, MNDWI and NDBaI, considered as sources of information for classification of a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 7 · 27 Aug 2018 · 8,183 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparative Ameliorative Efficiency of Phosphogypsum and Elemental Sulfur in Semi-Terrestrial Soda and Sulfate Moderately Halophytic Solonetz of the Light Gray Earth SubzoneKanaibek Kubenkulov, Nurzhamal Khokhanbaeva, Askhat NaushabayevThe article presents the data from field tests on determination of the relative ameliorative efficiency of equivalent dosages of phosphogypsum and elemental sulfur on the alkaline saline semi-terrestrialsolonetz. Basing on the analysis data of soil water extract, higher ameliorative efficiency of elemental sulfur compared to phosphogypsum and fast amelioration of alkali-saline soils with the use of sulfur have been detected. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 6 Feb 2018 · 7,424 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalysis of Tropospheric Scintillation Intensity on Earth to Space in MalaysiaMandeep Singh Jit Singh, Syed Idris Syed Hassan, Mohd Fadzil Ain et al.This paper presents the results of a study on tropospheric scintillation on satellite link that has been performed at University Sains Malaysia (USM) to obtain statistics of scintillation from the 12.255 GHz Superbird C satellite with an elevation angle of 40.10. The objective of this analysis was to determine whether the long-term scintillation follows the log normal or gamma distribution. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,268 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Composted Animal Manure as Fertilizer on Productivity of Azolla Pinnata Grown in Earthen PondsRistianto Utomo, Cuk Tri Noviandi, Nafiatul Umami, Adhitya PermadiAzolla pinnata contains a high nutritional value with a high protein content of 25%, so it can be used as an alternative to animal feed. The low production of Azolla is caused by the suboptimal use of fertilizers. This study aims were to determine the type of manure (composted manure from poultry, goats, and rabbit) which was the most optimal … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 9 Nov 2019 · 11,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Earthquakes on Some Kind of BuildingsJ. Alberto Escobar S., J. Antonio Mendoza, Roberto Gómez M.A new method that simplifies the current static seismic torsion design procedure for buildings is proposed. Distribution of the shear forces among the storey-resistant elements designed by torsion and of the factors which affect the design eccentricity, specially accidental eccentricity, are studied. It is demonstrated that the effect of accidental eccentricity is always additive for the structural elements. There is … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,350 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsClimate Change-An Unprecedented Challenge for Humankind Survival; Energy Exploitation from the Atmospheric Electrical CircuitGiovanni Pietro Gregori, Bruce Allen LeybourneA more detailed summary is given in the last part (1/4th) of the Introduction. An anomalous period is in progress, characterized by a very intense release of endogenous energy from the Earth. The cause is an ongoing heartbeat of the Earth’s electrocardiogram. Humankind’s history spans a much shorter duration. Hence, at present the humans are going to face an unprecedented … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 2 Nov 2021 · 6,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research NotesOpen accessIn the keywordsTime-Resolution of Climate Change Monitoring Volcanic Cycles, Stromboli, Ocean Floor Biota and Pandemics (?)Giovanni Pietro Gregori, Gabriele PaparoClimate change is an ongoing, poorly understood and disquieting challenge. The primary drivers are debated. Clear evidence is however suggestive of a time variation of the planetary release of endogenous energy. In fact, soil exhalation is an unprecedented challenge for humankind, as a phenomenon of this kind happens only every 27.40.05 Ma, while human history spans only the last 30,0000 … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 7 Sep 2021 · 6,258 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTrajectory Optimization for First Human Asteroid Exploration MissionAtiksha Sharma, Santosh KosambeAfter the successful completion of robotic expeditions on Mars, an ultimate goal was set for space fairing nations and agencies around the world to send astronauts to Mars by 2030. Unfortunately, a mission to Mars would last upwards for years meanwhile several asteroids fly close to the Earth. A manned trip to an asteroid would be a valuable stepping stone … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 8 Aug 2020 · 6,435 accessesView PDFCite
