Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical and Physical Characteristics of Cocopeat-Based Media Mixtures and Their Effects on the Growth and Development of Celosia cristataYahya Awang, Anieza Shazmi Shaharom, Rosli B. Mohamad, Ahmad SelamatProblem statement: Cocopeat is considered as a good growing media component with acceptable pH, electrical conductivity and other chemical attributes but it has been recognized to have high water holding capacity which causes poor air-water relationship, leading to low aeration within the medium, thus affecting the oxygen diffusion to the roots. Incorporation of coarser materials into cocopeat could improve the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 19,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Response to the Application of Amendments in a Contaminated Soil with Trace ElementsA. Branzini, M. S. Zubillaga, M. M. ZubillagaProblem Statement: The anthropogenic activities can cause adverse effects in soils, increasing in some situations trace elements contents, impacting negatively both the microbial biomass and activity. Among the practices used for the recovery of soil quality we can find the application of organic amendments or the product of their composting. These can adsorb trace elements decreasing their availability and increasing … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,177 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCalibration and Simultaneous Monitoring of Soil Water Content and Salinity with Capacitance and Four-electrode ProbesTadaomi Saito, Haruyuki Fujimaki, Mitsuhiro InoueNon-destructive monitoring of soil water content (W) and the electrical conductivity of the soil solution (ECw) has been desired for environmental evaluation and sustainable agriculture. Dielectric probes and four-electrode probes are widely used for the non-destructive determination of W and the soil bulk electrical conductivity (ECb), respectively. Since the output of dielectric probes is affected by soil salinity, the calibration … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,918 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Film thickness on the Electrical and Structural Properties of CdS: In Thin FilmsShadia J. Ikhmayies, Riyad N. Ahmad-BitarPolycrystalline CdS:In thin films were prepared by the Spray Pyrolysis (SP) technique on glass substrates at a substrate temperature Ts= 490°C. The effect of film thickness on the electrical and structural properties of the films was investigated through the analysis of the I-V plots, x-ray diffraction spectra (XRD) and the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. The conductivity of the films … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,910 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesalination of Saline Sludges Using Ion-Exchange Column with ZeoliteA.E. Ghaly, M. VermaA flushing process followed by a zeolite based ion-exchange process were developed for the treatment of saline sludges from oil and gas exploration sites. The particle size distribution of sludge sample indicated the presence of very fine sand and clay. The electrical conductivity of the sludge was 42.2 dS m-1 indicating very saline sludge and the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,062 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Sorghum Density As Affected By Two Water Qualities Under Drip Irrigation SystemB.A. Ould Ahmed, T. Yamamoto, M. Inoue, H. DehghanisanijPot experiment was conducted under glasshouse conditions during 2005 at the Arid Land Research Center, Tottori University in Tottori, Japan. The study presented here was aimed to evaluating the response of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench), density under two different water qualities. The investigation was carried out in randomized complete block design experiments located in a plastic greenhouse. Crop growth … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,548 accessesView PDFCite
