Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Erosion Hotspot Area using GIS and MCE Technique for Koga Watershed in the Upper Blue Nile Basin, EthiopiaTewodros T. Assefa, Manoj K. Jha, Seifu A Tilahun et al.Soil erosion is a serious threat in Ethiopian highlands. Continuous land degradation resulted in loss of fertile top soil leading to low agricultural productivity. In addition, excessive soil erosion from Koga Watershed in upper catchment to an artificial reservoir (Koga Dam reservoir) is substantially reducing its service life. Community participatory based effective watershed management strategies may have tremendous potential to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 10 Sep 2015 · 9,149 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAIR POLLUTION AND CLIMATE CHANGE IN LAGOS, NIGERIA: NEEDS FOR PROACTIVE APPROACHES TO RISK MANAGEMENT AND ADAPTATIONAkinola A. Komolafe, Suleiman Abdul-Azeez Adegboyega, Adeleye Y.B. Anifowose et al.The significance of air pollution as one of the contemporary issues and accelerating factors that propel climate change in both developed and developing countries cannot be overemphasized. The problem of air pollution has seemingly become intractable with the incessant failure of both global and local environmental policies purportedly emplaced to address its devastating trend, particularly in growing megacities of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 12 Jul 2014 · 10,237 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMIGITATION OF INTER CELL INTERFERENCE AND FADING IN LTE SYSTEMSNagarajan Amutha Prabha, Gorla Vidhya Sagar, Venugopal ManikandanIn this study we investigate the compensation of outage area utmost. It introduces the self optimization of the neighbors of the outage cells with antenna tilts for the generation of the most suitable configuration settings for the network with base stations/eNodeBs positional information. All the neighbors of the outage cell increase their coverage area and thus contribute to cell outage … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 28 Nov 2013 · 6,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOMPARISON FOR WIMAX SCHEDULING ALGORITHMS AND PROPOSAL QUALITY OF SERVICE IMPROVEMENT IN WIMAX NETWORKSR. Nandhini, N. DevarajanThe objective of the broadband wireless technologies is to ensure the end to end Quality of Service (QoS) for service classes. Wimax is a revolution in wireless networks which could support real time multimedia services. In order to provide QoS support and efficient usage of system resources an intelligent scheduling algorithm is needed. The design of detailed scheduling algorithm is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 19 Nov 2013 · 7,397 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatus of Soil Microbial Population, Enzymatic Activity and Biomass of Selected Natural, Secondary and Rehabilitated ForestsK. S. Daljit Singh, A. Arifin, O. Radziah et al.Substantial clearance of forests and conversion of forest into various land use types contribute to deterioration of soil fertility and associated nutrients loss. Soils from natural and rehabilitated forest in Chikus Forest Reserve and also enrichment planting forest and secondary forest of Tapah Hill Forest Reserve, Perak, Malaysia were selected in order to assess the influence of land use change … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,807 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA LEADER BASED MONITORING APPROACH FOR SINKHOLE ATTACK IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKD. Udaya Suriya Rajkumar, Rajamani VayanaperumalSecurity is one of an important factor to be considered seriously in wireless sensor networks. In WSN, in many ways intrusion may occur, in the past decades there is no perfect IDS, without any wasting of resources like time, energy, cost and number of physical items. The main objective is to ensure the security and improve the quality of network … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 6 Aug 2013 · 6,917 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Secure Key Management Technique for Wireless Body Area NetworksVenkatasubramanian Sivaprasatham, Jothi VenkateswaranIn Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN), the key factors to be considered for transmission of confidential data are security and privacy as it is mostly having applications in emergency medical response systems. The lack of security may lead to loss of data privacy resulting in an adversary to bring in bogus data or altering the legal ones. Hence in this … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 5 Sep 2012 · 7,206 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Route Shortening and Route Repairing Mechanism for Mobile Ad Hoc NetworksS. Revathi, T. R. RangaswamyProblem statement: Ad hoc Networks are wireless networks without any fixed infrastructure. The network topology changes frequently and unpredictably due to the random movement of the nodes. The Ad Hoc on Demand Distant Vector Routing (AODV) protocol works in a dynamic fashion, by establishing a route on demand and continues that route until it breaks. Due to the changing network … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 11 Jul 2012 · 7,074 accessesView PDFCite
