Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAppraisal of Thermal Properties of Mud in the Ariake Sea, JapanM. Azizul Moqsud, Shigenori Hayashi, Yan Jun Du, Daisuke SuetsuguIn order to explore the thermal properties of the Ariake Sea mud and to find out the affecting factors which affect these values, a portable thermal properties analyzer was used. Thermal conductivity, thermal resistivity, thermal diffusivity and volumetric heat capacity of the mud samples collected from both the tidal flat and inside the deep sea were measured in the laboratory. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,966 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Thermal Explosion of Sensitized Reaction with Variable Heat LossK.S. Adegbie, F.I. AlaoThis study discusses the influence of heat loss on the critical ignition temperature and Frank-Kamenetskii parameter of a non-linear ordinary differential equation arising in thermal sensitized reaction. The reaction obeys the Arrhenius expression with temperature dependent pre-exponential factor, taking heat exchange between the reacting material and its surrounding into account. The consequences of heat loss are explored within the framework … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2007 · 6,923 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Geo-Information Technology in the Study of Soil and Nutrients Loss by Water Erosion for three Different Land CoverMushtak T. Jabbar, C. A.I. Chong-Fa, Wang Tian-Wei, Shi Zhi-HuaThis research integrated the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and the soil statistical analysis with RS and GIS techniques to quantify soil and nutrient loss risk. The Letianxi watershed, located in the southwest part of Hubei Province of China was taken as a case. A system was established for rating soil erodibility, slope length/gradient, rainfall erosivity and conservation practices. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,790 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Degradation Risk Prediction Integrating RUSLE with Geo-information Techniques, the Case of Northern Shaanxi Province in ChinaMushtak T. Jabbar, Xiaoling ChenThis research integrated the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) with RS, GIS and GPS techniques to quantify soil erosion risk and the northern part of Shaanxi province in China was taken as a case. A system was established for rating soil erodibility, slope length/gradient, rainfall erosivity and conservation practices. The rating values served as inputs into a modified Revised … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,050 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLandslide Susceptibility Analysis Using Numerical and Neural Network, Near Kedarnath, Uttarakhand, IndiaVinay Kumar Singh, Tariq Anwar Ansari, Vikram Vishal, T.N. SinghThe major concern in hilly regions is the stability of those slopes, which have been proclaimed due to unplanned excavation and uneven blasting during road widening and development activity. These slopes again become more vulnerable under dynamic loading and/or various types of human involvement, heavy rainfall and seismic activity. Failure of these slopes leads to loss of property and human … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2020 · 7,772 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impact of Climate Factors on the Epidemiology and Management of Potato virus YMahabuba Mostafa, Md. Motaher HossainPlant viruses give rise to potential loss to global crop production and have the potential to cause widespread damage. Potato virus Y (PVY) is a plant virus that belongs to the genus Potyvirus and the family Potyviridae and it is considered a major concern, particularly for solanaceous crops such as potatoes. PVY represents the largest cluster of plant viruses, encompassing … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2024 · 4,758 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdipose-Derived Canine Mesenchymal Stem Cells in PLAY® MediaArjun Kulkarni, Bhavana N. V., Teena Mary Thomas et al.In veterinary medicine, stem cell-based therapies present promise for addressing orthopedic and degenerative conditions in canines. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) possess unique regenerative, immunomodulatory, and differentiation capabilities. However, their efficacy relies on optimal in-vitro conditions. Prolonged expansion over passages leads to a gradual loss of stem cell traits, highlighting the importance of optimized culture conditions and media supplements. This study … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 13 Jul 2024 · 5,598 accessesView PDF Cite
