The number of wearable electronic devices available in today’s electronics market including smart watches, activity trackers, helmets and smart clothing seems to grow substantially. In fact, this technology is recognized as one of the hottest trends and one of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2015 · 7,477 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSHALE GAS EXTRACTION AND WATER CONSUMPTION IN NORTH CAROLINA: A PRIMERManoj K. Jha, Daniel G. FernandezAbout 25,000 acres of area underlying the Deep and Dan River Basins in North Carolina has been identified to contain large shale gas reservoirs that could be used for the natural gas production. This study attempted to quantify the impact of potential hydraulic fracturing (or fracking) activities in the existing water resources of North Carolina. Supply and demand analysis was … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 10 Apr 2014 · 8,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Worldview-2 Satellite Imagery to Support Geoscience Studies on Phlegraean AreaPasquale Maglione, Claudio Parente, Andrea VallarioWorldView-2 satellite imagery includes half-meter panchromatic resolution and 2 m multispectral resolution. Because of the reduced dimensions of pixels and articulated spectral acquisition these images supply detailed information that can be used for geoscience applications, above all to investigate areas, identify land cover, bound vegetated zones, outline transformations (change detection). The aim of this study is to remark possibilities to … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,939 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParticle Swarm Optimization-Based Routing Protocol for Clustered Heterogeneous Sensor Networks with Mobile SinkR. Sudarmani, K.R. Shankar KumarIn Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) sensor nodes with sensing, computing and communication infrastructure are randomly deployed and organized as clusters. Most of the existing sensor networks focus on homogeneous in which the cluster heads are changed periodically. To improve the lifetime of energy constraint battery powered WSN and to avoid energy sink-hole problem; Clustered Heterogeneous Sensor Networks (HSN) are analyzed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 18 Mar 2013 · 6,840 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of Seasonal Physicochemical Parameters in River UsmaA. I. Ugwu, R. J. WakawaGrowing populations may put stresses on natural waters by impairing both the quality of the water and the hydrological budget. Abuja, being relatively a new city and the new Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria, has scarce physicochemical data on its water resources that could assist in making robust decision in mitigating the impact of human societies on natural waters; which … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 20 Sep 2012 · 9,272 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPro-Active Prevention of Clone Node Attacks in Wireless Sensor NetworksK. M. Anandkumar, C. JayakumarProblem statement: Wireless mobile sensor networks are deploying large, self-organized and adaptable sets of sensors for many applications such as military, environmental, health care, remote monitoring and other applications. Unfortunately, the simplicity and low-cost of these sensors make eases cloning of compromised nodes by attackers in the network. Due to the unattended nature of wireless sensor networks, an adversary can … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 28 Aug 2012 · 7,072 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPetroleum Hydrocarbon Pollution of Mangrove Swamps: The Promises of Remediation by Enhanced Natural AttenuationF. A. Orji, A. A. Ibiene, O. C. UgboguProblem statement: The Remediation by Enhanced Natural Attenuation (RENA) is currently being used as a cleanup technology in polluted environments in the Niger Delta and other parts of the globe. The effectiveness of RENA as a remediation technology in the most recent time has been challenged by few authorities. The deleterious effects of pollutants on the environment have led to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 12 May 2012 · 8,225 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMetals in Sediment Cores from Nine Coastal Lagoons in Central VietnamStefania Romano, Cristian Mugnai, Silvia Giuliani et al.Problem statement: After being dramatically hit by war events, Vietnam is presently experiencing a huge economical and social development. However, very few data, relative to pollution levels and trends, are available for the correct management of critical areas such as coastal lagoons, where many economical activities are linked to high value environmental features. Approach: A set of sediment cores from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 9 Mar 2012 · 8,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization from Cement Kiln Dust in Removal of Acid DyesMohamed El-Shahate Ismaiel Saraya, Mahmoud El-Saied Aboul-FetouhProblem statement: The growth of industries and day to day changes in human activities has resulted in an increase in the volume and complexity of wastewater to the environment. Textile industry is one of the most water consumers industries of Egypt, thus discharges large amounts of wastewater effluents during processing, especially, in the coloring and washing steps.
