Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInteractions of Aerosol Optical Depth and Cloud Parameters with Rainfall and the Validation of Satellite Based Rainfall ObservationsMd Monirul Islam, Md Mainul Islam Mamun, Md Zahidul Islam, Mumnunul KeramatAerosol-cloud interactions influence the global precipitation patterns that influence significantly the Earth's climate system. Anthropogenic aerosols alter the clouds and their optical properties. The present study has investigated the Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), cloud parameters and rainfall interactions for three different monsoon periods (2008-2010) and also compared the satellite rainfall with ground based observations, by using MODIS and TRMM datasets. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 24 Jun 2017 · 7,754 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSevere and Fatal Influenza Cases in Russia in 2014-2015Svetlana V. Svyatchenko, Alexander G. Durymanov, Ivan M. Susloparov et al.This paper aims to characterize herd immunity of the population inhabiting Asian part of Russia before influenza epidemic and to describe influenza viruses isolated from severe cases including cases with fatal outcomes in the 2014-2015 epidemic season. HI test enabled us to study 3888 serum samples from healthy individuals including 1939 samples collected from poultry farm workers. We showed that … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2016 · 7,069 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA TIME-DELAY CASCADING NEURAL NETWORK ARCHITECTURE FOR MODELING TIME-DEPENDENT PREDICTOR IN ONSET PREDICTIONAgus Buono, Imas Sukaesih Sitanggang, Mushthofa, Aziz KustiyoThe occurrence of rain before the real start of a rainy season often mislead farmers into thinking that rainy season has started and suggesting them to start planting immediately. In reality, rainy season has not started yet, causing the already-planted rice seed to experience dehydration. Therefore, a model that can predict the onset of rainy season is required, so that … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 29 Jan 2014 · 6,652 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHydrological and Sediment Transport Simulation to Assess the Impact of Dam Construction in the Mekong River Main ChannelSatoshi Kameyama, Hiroto Shimazaki, Seiichi Nohara et al.The downstream impact of dams is a complex problem in watershed management. In the upper Mekong River watershed and its main channel, dam construction projects were started in the 1950s to meet increasing demands for energy and food production. Dams called the Mekong Cascade were completed on the Mekong River in China, the Manwan Dam in 1996 and the Dachaoshan … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 29 Jun 2013 · 8,576 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRiver Flow Conditions and Dynamic State Analysis of Pahang RiverMuhamad Barzani Gasim, M. E. Toriman, Mushrifah Idris et al.Pahang River (Sg. Pahang) is the longest river in Peninsular Malaysia. Flood is a common event in Pahang River Basin during wet season which triggered by monsoon season. The hydrodynamic study of Pahang River should be well understood especially when it is a target of northeast monsoon which influenced the Pahang River Basin every year (from November to March). 17 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2013 · 8,709 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImpact of Abattoir and Saw-Mill Effluents on Water Quality of Upper Ogun River (Abeokuta)A. O. Adeogun, A. V. Chukwuka, O. R. IborProblem statement: The unregulated discharge of contaminants from point sources into inland freshwater aquatic systems and the resultant deterioration of water quality are largely undocumented in developing countries like Nigeria especially with respect to the role of seasonal factors on the recovery capacity of aquatic systems. Approach: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of abattoir and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 6 Jan 2012 · 8,639 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEscherichia Coli and Biophysicochemical Relationships of Seawater and Water Pollution Index in the Jakarta BayEndan Suwandana, Kensuke Kawamura, Kazuhiko Tanaka et al.Problem statement: Relationships between Escherichia coli (E. coli) and biophysicochemical properties of seawater at different seasons and water pollution index were investigated in the Jakarta Bay, Indonesia. Approach: Water quality data taken at different seasons (Early Rainy Season (ERS) in November 2007 and Late Dry Season (LDS) in August 2008) were analyzed. Additionally, to compare pollution level at different seasons, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 9 Jul 2011 · 7,995 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Stripping Frequency on Semen Quality of Endangered Caspian Brown Trout, Salmo trutta caspiusSaeed Hajirezaee, Bagher Mojazi Amiri, Ali Reza MirvaghefiProblem statement: Because of dramatic declines in stocks of endangered Caspian brown trout males, Salmo trutta caspius in Caspian Sea, each male brooder is stripped indispensably more than once during the spawning season in other to artificial insemination in hatchery. The aim of the present study was to assay the changes of indicators of semen quality (sperm motility, sperm production, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,480 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUptake and Translocation of Iron by Native Tree Species In A Constructed Wetland Treating Landfill LeachatesA. Snow, A. E. Ghaly, R. Cote, A.M. SnowA surface flow wetland was constructed in the Burnside Industrial Park, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, to treat stormwater runoff from the surrounding watersheds which are comprised primarily of commercial properties and two former landfills. The objectives of this study were: (a) to compare the uptake of iron by red maple, white birch and red spruce trees growing under flooded soil conditions … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 6,870 accessesView PDF Cite
