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 abstractExponential Smoothing Method of Base Flow Separation and Its Impact on Continuous Loss EstimatesGurudeo Anand Tularam, Mahbub IlaheeThe calculation of loss is vital for design flood estimation models and in order to estimate continuing loss (CL), proportional loss (PL) and volumetric runoff coefficient, the surface runoff has to be separated from the total given in a stream flow hydrograph. To obtain the volume of surface runoff from the streamflow hydrograph, baseflow separation becomes necessary and in this … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 8,484 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomated Camera Monitoring System for Selective Areas of InterestNael HirzallahMonitoring a number of security cameras by security guards suffers from a number of difficulties especially when the events to be watched for may take months to occur or a large number of cameras exist. Furthermore, finding and hiring people for such tasks is usually expensive. Therefore, there are immediate needs for automated surveillance systems that save money, work in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,205 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Experimental Study of Petty Corrupt Behaviour in Small Decision Making ProblemsTakemi FujikawaThis research discusses small decision making problems and petty corruption as their practical applications with a structured economic experiment. One of examples of petty corruption considered includes demands for petty bribes by traffic officials followed by police. We examine that it is caused by subjective underweighting of rare events and its objective probabilities. This literature reports results of an experiment, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 3 Dec 2005 · 8,105 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe 11th February, 2004 Earthquake of The Dead Sea, JordanAbdallah S.

The present investigation emphasis on the recent earthquake swarm, which occurred at the end of 2003 and extended to the middle of July 2004 with critical examination on the strongest event of 11th Feb. 2004. The present study examines … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,726 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Challenge of the Hospitals and Health Care Systems in Preparation for Biological and Chemical Terrorism AttackEldo Ermenegildo Frezza MDIn the present study a few aspects of planning for terrorism events that expose large numbers of people to contamination are discussed. Many issues were considered as an absolute requirement for implementation of NBC response: 1) policy, 2) plan and 3) emergency department response to surge capacity. Key elements of the healthcare facility response plan include prompt recognition of the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,390 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Associated with Syringe Sharing Among Users of a Medically Supervised Safer Injecting FacilityEvan Wood, Mark W. Tyndall, Jo-Anne Stoltz et al.Vancouver, Canada recently opened a medically supervised safer injecting facility (SIF) in an effort to reduce HIV and overdose risk and public injection drug use. We sought to examine factors associated with syringe sharing among SIF users. SIF users were randomly recruited into a prospective cohort of SIF users known as the Scientific Evaluation of Supervised Injecting (SEOSI) cohort. We … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 10,759 accessesView PDFCite
