Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRoad Transport Congestion Costs Calculations Adaptation to Engineering ApproachMarjan Lep, Beno MesarecThe article represents so called "engineering" approach for computing the total road transport congestion costs. According to economic welfare theory, the total costs of transport congestion are defined as dead weight loss (DWL) of infrastructure use. With a set of equations DWL could be formulated in a mathematical way. Because such form of equation is not directly applicable for concrete … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 6,813 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordClimate Change Adaptation in Acid Sulfate LandscapesChuxia LinOxidation of sulfide minerals produces sulfuric acid and consequently creates Acid Sulfate Landscapes (ASLs), which represent one of the most degraded types of land-surface environments. Although acid sulfate-producing weathering is a naturally occurring process, it is markedly facilitated by human intervention. Mining is by far the dominant anthropogenic cause for the creation of inland acid sulfate footprints while land reclamation … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Jul 2012 · 7,382 accessesView PDF Cite
