Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPopulation Growth, Climate Change and Water Scarcity in the Southwestern United StatesAmy c. Fuller, Michael O. HarhayProblem statement: In a simple economic model, water scarcity arises as a result of an imbalance between the supply of and demand for water sources. Distribution in this setting is the source of numerous conflicts globally. Approach: Already, the Southwestern United States (US) suffers from annual drought and long-standing feud over natural water resources. Results: Population growth in the Southwestern … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,042 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudies on Biomass Production in Auricularia polytricha Collected from Wilberforce Island, Bayelsa State, NigeriaS. G. Jonathan, D. D.S. Bawo, D. O. Adejoye, O. F. BriyaiAuricularia polytricha (Mont) Saccardo, were found growing on decaying logs of wood in their large numbers within the marshy riverine ecosystem area of Wilberforce Island, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. The sporophores of this edible mushroom were tissue cultured and biomass production in submerged liquid medium was assessed. This fungus produced best mycelial biomass (340 mg cm-3) at 25°C after 15 days … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 8,440 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBase Course Modification through Stabilization using Cement and BitumenS. M. Marandi, P. SafapourThe main objectives of this research was to analyze the use of combined cement and bitumen emulsion in base course stabilization in details and examine its replacement with conventional pavement in regions with low quality materials and limited construction period. To conduct the objectives, the research divided into three phases. Phase I involved the optimization of cement and bitumen emulsion. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeed Germination and Seedling Survival of Spartina alterniflora LoiselPatrick D. Biber, John D. CaldwellSpartina alterniflora (smooth cordgrass) is a widespread intertidal salt marsh plant that is frequently used in coastal restoration projects. Seeds collected in 2004 were tested for seed germination and seedling survival after 6 months of cold seed storage to determine differences among collection locations (experiment 1). Seeds collected in 2005, after Hurricane Katrina, were tested for seed germination and seedling … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstablishment and Evaluation of the Vegetative Community in A Surface Flow Constructed Wetland Treating Industrial Park ContaminantsC.C. Galbrand, A.M. Snow, A.E. Ghaly, R. CôtéA surface flow constructed wetland, designed to curve in a kidney shape in order to increase the length to width ratio to 5:1 was used to treat runoff from an industrial park. A natural wetland system located approximately 200 m downstream of the constructed wetland was selected to act as the vegetative community model for the constructed wetland. The selected … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,574 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerils of Simplistic Classifications of Universities: A Preliminary Case Study of Economics DepartmentsPartha Gangopadhyay, Renu GangopadhyayUniversities represent a highly complex organizational structure that is beset with serious informational problems. A simplistic allocation rule based on university rankings is sometimes applied to fund disciplines/departments in order to promote efficiency. This study shows the pitfalls of using university rankings to glean information on rankings of disciplines, or departments, across universities. We offer a new measure to quantify … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,133 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSystem Availability in the Presence of Estimating Common-cause Time-varying Failure RatesM. A. El-Damcese, Kh. A. Abd AlttifThis study presents a method for calculating the availability of a system depicted by availability block diagram, with identically distributed components, in the presence of estimating common cause hazard, we use the Marshall and Olkin formulation of the multivariate exponential distribution. That is, the components are subject to failure by Poisson failure processes that govern simultaneous failure of a specific … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,732 accessesView PDFCite
