Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeneral Circulation in the Malacca Strait and Andaman Sea: A Numerical Model StudySyamsul Rizal, Peter Damm, Mulyadi A. Wahid et al.In the Andaman Sea and Malacca Strait, as in other parts of the Indian Ocean, the seasonal change of the wind plays a most important role: the south-west (hereafter SW) is monsoon active from June through September and the north-east (hereafter NE) monsoon is active from December through February. During the NE monsoon the winds are directed from the north … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 11 Aug 2012 · 18,566 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Shrimp Farm Effluent on Water Quality in Coastal Areas of the World Heritage-Listed Ha Long BayThuyet D. Bui, Jim Luong-Van, Chris M. AustinProblem statement: Shrimp farming has rapidly developed in coastal areas of the World Heritage-listed Ha Long Bay since the last decade. Effluent discharged from shrimp farms with high levels of nutrient waste may cause eutrophication in receiving waterways. Therefore, assessing water quality at tidal creeks receiving shrimp farm effluent in coastal areas of Ha Long Bay supports environmental protection and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 3 Mar 2012 · 11,283 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic and Biochemical Aspects of Ectoine Biosynthesis in Moderately Halophilic and Halotolerant Methylotrophic BacteriaValentina N. Khmelenina, Ildar I. Mustakhimov, Alexander S. Reshetnikov et al.Problem statement: The cyclic imino acid ectoine is a widely distributed compatible solute synthesizing by halophilic and halotolerant bacteria to prevent osmotic stress at high external salinity. This water-keeping compound is used in a variety of commercial cosmetics and therapeutic products. Approach: Development of integrated, predictive functional model of the metabolic and regulatory netwoks of ectoine-producing microbes is an active … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2010 · 9,560 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDoes Predator Go for Size Selection or Preferential Toxic-Nontoxic Species Under Limited Resource?Joydeep Pal, S. Bhattacharya, J. ChattopadhyayProblem statement: Selectivity is common in predator-prey interaction but the selection mechanism is still unexplored and a debatable issue in modern theoretical and experimental ecology for numerous species across the globe. In present investigation we emphasized the hypothesis that the zooplankton is less inclined to opt the food based on size selectivity criteria than the preferential selectivity for the safe … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,903 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScale Formation Due to Water Injection in Malaysian Sandstone CoresAmer Badr Bin Merdhah, Abu Azam Mohd YassinProblem statement: Scale deposition is one of the most serious oil field problems that inflict water injection systems primarily when two incompatible waters are involved. Approach: This study was conducted to investigate the permeability reduction caused by deposition of calcium, strontium and barium sulphates in sandstone cores from mixing of injected Malaysian sea waters (Angsi and Barton) and formation water … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,624 accessesView PDFCite
