Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical Composition, Nutrients and Contaminants of Typical Waste Dumping SitesH. Meuser, K. S. Grewal, R. Anlauf et al.Problem statement: The composition of wastes is quite variable depending upon the generating source and mode of collection. Most of the material from the domestic activities will be organic in nature and contains essential plant nutrients, whereas the dumping material of commercial and industrial wastes usually contains appreciable amounts of heavy and potentially toxic metals and organic pollutants. Approach: Objective … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 7,753 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Simulation of Microelectromechanical System Capacitive Shunt SwitchesHaslina Jaafar, Othman Sidek, Azman Miskam, Shukri KorakkottilProblem statement: RF MEMS switch is one of MEMS area that creates devices that have great potential to improve the performance of communication circuits and systems and enables the realization of micro size mechanical switches embedded in electronics devices. The low voltage switches are necessary due to their compatibility of standard IC technology in RF application and microelectronics systems.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Black Cutworm as a Potential Human FoodA.E. GhalyProblem statement: The black cutworms (Agrotis ipsilon) were grown in an artificial medium to evaluate their potential as a human food. Approach: The culture was started from moths and the life cycle and culture structure were evaluated. There was an initial adjustment period of 3 days during which the growth of the larvae was very slow. The size of the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,573 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Some Pesticide Residues in Cauliflower by High Performance Liquid ChromatographySheheli Islam, Nazneen Afrin, Mohammad Shawkat Hossain et al.Problem statement: Increased use of chemicals on vegetables started gaining momentum and continued its up-trend in Bangladesh. Wide spread use of pesticides in agriculture concern of residue accumulation, which may remain in food and agricultural environment causing concern of human health and risking ecological balance. Attempt made to ensure that their applications were correct and safe and result in no … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,859 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValorization of Drinking Water Treatment Sludges as Raw Materials to Produce Concrete and MortarR.M. Ramirez Zamora, O. Ceron Alfaro, N. Cabirol et al.The purpose of this work was to assess the technical feasibility to valorize sludges, generated and stored at the Los Berros drinking water facility (PPLB), as raw material to produce building products (mortar and concrete) for the construction industry. The experimental study was divided into three stages: 1) sampling and characterization of PPLB sludges to determine their potential as raw … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTreatment of Stormwater Runoff and Landfill Leachates Using a Surface Flow Constructed WetlandA. Snow, A. E. Ghaly, R. CoteA 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 aim was to protect a freshwater ecosystem that consists of a 4.6 km long brook and two lakes. The ability of the constructed wetland to retain … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,747 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Benthic Fauna in the Discharge Lagoon of a Shrimp Farm With Special Emphasis on the PolychaetesLuis Rafael Martínez Córdova, Luis Fernando Enríquez OcañaA study of benthic fauna, with special emphasis on polychaetes, was made in the discharge lagoon of an experimental shrimp farm and a pond of the farm. The discharge lagoon was divided into three sections and stocked with shrimp at low density (6 Pl/m2). Neither formulated feed nor fertilization was used in these sections. The control pond was stocked with … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,680 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Cassava (Manihot esculenta) Foliage Supplementation to Calves on the Viability and Egg Count of Haemonchus contortus NematodesJuan López, Esteban Machín, Arturo Zentella et al.Thirty early-weaned 5±3 month-old calves with an average body weight of 96±23 kg were used; 24 were artificially infested with 90 larvae (L3), of H. contortus per kilogram body weight. Calves grazed on African Star Grass (Cynodon plectostachyus) from 0600 to 1300 hours. Grazing was supplemented with lucerne hay (Medicago sativa) or cassava foliage (Manihot esculenta), and 500 g-1 head-1 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,065 accessesView PDFCite
