Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractField Scale Modeling to Estimate Phosphorus and Sediment Load Reductions Using a Newly Developed Graphical User Interface for Soil and Water Assessment ToolAaron R. Mittelstet, Erin R. Daly, Daniel E. Storm et al.Streams throughout the North Canadian River watershed in northwest Oklahoma, USA have elevated levels of nutrients and sediment. Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to identify areas that likely contributed disproportionate amounts of Phosphorus (P) and sediment to Lake Overholser, the receiving reservoir at the watershed outlet. These sites were then targeted by the Oklahoma Conservation Commission (OCC) … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 28 Dec 2012 · 6,473 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDownstream Ecocide from Upstream Water PiracyMiah Muhammad AdelUpstream India and downstream Bangladesh share more than 50 international rivers. India has set up water diversion constructions in more than 50% of these rivers, the largest one being on the Bangladesh’s northwest upon the Ganges River, puts Bangladesh’s Gangetic ecosystem at stake. In some border rivers, India has set up groins on her side of river banks. Also, Indian … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 4 Sep 2012 · 9,077 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Global Positioning System Data for Offshore Platform DeformationAbdul Nasir Matori, Nurrohmat WidjajantiProblem statement: Reservoir compaction and shallow gas migration phenomena may cause offshore platform to experience deformation which if happens excessively will affect their structural integrity. Approach: Hence it is crucial to monitor and quantify the magnitude of the deformation especially if they are not uniform throughout the platform structure. However since mostly the offshore platforms are few hundreds kilometers away … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2011 · 8,705 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrug Susceptibility and Molecular Epidemiology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated in a Burn UnitHassan Salimi, Parviz Owlia, Bagher Yakhchali, Abdolaziz Rastegar LariProblem statement: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that still develops life-threatening infections in patients with immunological system defects, like burn patients, especially in developing countries. Since this bacterium is naturally resistant to many drugs and is able to get resistance to all effective antibiotics, the infection with this organism is particularly problematic condition for patients. This study was design … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeasibility of Treatment of the Waters of a Wadi Charged in Iron by Filters Planted of Macrophytes (Phragmites australis)Semadi Faten, Blake Gerard, Berrebbah Houria, Alioua AmelProblem statement: The context is summarized by the presence of important Steel manufactory close to the wadi Meboudja and its effluents rejected into the wadi which contaminate the water used for irrigation by the local farmer. Approach: The goal is to determine the usefulness of Macrophytes (Phragmites australis) to filter some specific industrial effluents (Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb, Mn and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,094 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Damsites Groutability Using Secondary Permeability Index, Rock Classification (Case Studies)R. Ajalloeian, F. MoeinProblem statement: The dam body and foundation seepage is one of the important points in design parameters. This index is related to the permeability. There fore permeability is one of the basic parameter in design grout curtain, prevent water escape from foundation and avoid negative seepage pressure in borrow materials, so grouting is used. Grouting means injected materials like cement … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,416 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing SWAT to Target Critical Source Sediment and Phosphorus Areas in the Wister Lake Basin, USAPhilip R. Busteed, Daniel E. Storm, Michael J. White, Scott H. StoodleyProblem statement: Wister Lake is located in the San Bois Mountains in southeastern Oklahoma, USA. The reservoir is primarily used as a water supply and flood storage to over 40,000 residents in the area. Due to high levels of phosphorus and sediment, Wister Lake is listed as a high priority basin for the State of Oklahoma. To help address these … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,297 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Algorithms Connected Simulation with Smoothing Function for Searching Rule CurvesAnongrit Kangrang, Chavalit ChaleeraktrakoonRule curves are fundamental guidelines for operating a reservoir system. The objective of this paper is to find a suitable objective function and to propose a smoothing function constraint for searching the optimal rule curves by using genetic algorithms connected simulation model. The results show that an average water shortage is the optimal objective function for searching the optimal rule … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,487 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorpho-physiological Differences of the Spermatheca of Attini Ants (Hymenoptera: Myrmicinae)Gabriela Ortiz, Maria Izabel Camargo-MathiasThe insect's spermatheca store the spermatozoa from the time of copulation until the fertilization of the eggs and consists of a sac, usually associated to glands. The ant species Atta laevigata, Atta sexdens sexdens, Atta sexdens piriventris, Acromyrmex coronatus and Cyphomyrmex muelleri are considered pests, as they cause economics losses to several crops. The spermatheca of these species were examined … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,588 accessesView PDFCite
