Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASSESSING SOIL RESPIRATION AS AN INDICATOR OF SOIL MICROBIAL ACTIVITY IN RECLAIMED METAL CONTAMINATED LANDSKassandre Goupil, Kabwe NkongoloMining, roasting as well as smelting of these elements have caused sulphur dioxide fumigations and metal particulate depositions which have led to various detrimental effects on the overall environmental quality of the Greater Sudbury region. Soil amendment and revegetation within the Greater Sudbury Region were initiated to restore the damage land. Several methods have been used to assess the progress … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 11 Jul 2014 · 8,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClassification Model for Hotspot Occurrences Using Spatial Decision Tree AlgorithmImas Sukaesih Sitanggang, Razali Yaakob, Norwati Mustapha, A. N. AinuddinDeveloping a predictive model for forest fires occurrence is an important activity in a fire prevention program. The model describes characteristics of areas where fires occur based on past fires data. It is essential as an early warning system for preventing forest fires, thus major damages because of fires can be avoided. This study describes the application of data mining … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2013 · 7,224 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeavy Metal Contamination of Soils and Water Resources Kettara Abandoned MineManuel Valiente, Gustavo Perez, Marta Avila et al.Problem statement: Metal mining; together with mineral smelting and processing, have contaminated the environment surrounding mine areas throughout the world exceeding natural background concentration. Approach: These processes introduce metal contaminants into the environment through gaseous and particulate emissions, waste liquids and solid wastes. The principal objective of this study was to investigate soil and water contamination in the vicinity of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 8 May 2012 · 8,831 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Complexity between K-Means and K-Medoids Clustering Algorithms for Normal and Uniform Distributions of Data PointsT. Velmurugan, T. SanthanamProblem statement: Clustering is one of the most important research areas in the field of data mining. Clustering means creating groups of objects based on their features in such a way that the objects belonging to the same groups are similar and those belonging to different groups are dissimilar. Clustering is an unsupervised learning technique. The main advantage of clustering … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 19,434 accessesView PDFCite
