Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLand Degradation and Preventive Measures From the Perspective of the StakeholdersMosayeb Heshmati, Arifin Abdu, Nik Muhamad Majid, J. ShamshuddinLand degradation at the catchment scale in Iran is widespread, usually assumed to be accelerated by the activities of local inhabitants. Social issues such as low income, poverty and low level of welfare and education contribute to land degradation. A study was conducted to identify the causes of land degradation in Merek catchment, Iran and to propose appropriate measures to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 8,367 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractGully Morphological Assessment and Anthropogenic Determinants in Urban and Rural Settlements of Upper Imo River Basin (UIRB) South Eastern NigeriaNnamdi Christian ChiboGully erosion have been proven to vary both in terms of size and number in urban and rural settlements and is caused by factors related to both human and natural phenomenon. This study assessed the gully morphological development in an urban and rural settlement with the view of finding the settlement that is more vulnerable to gully erosion development. It … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 6 · 19 Dec 2022 · 5,950 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFormation of Post-Fire Water Repellent Layers on Nothofagus glauca (Hualo) Forests, After the Historical “Las Máquinas” Wildfire in South-Central ChilePablo A. Garcia-Chevesich, Eduardo Martínez, Alejandro García et al.The Chilean summer of 2017 was the worst wildfire season by far. Hundreds of wildfires burned a total of more than half a million hectares of forested land (native forests and forest plantations). A significant portion of the burned area was occupied by Hualo (Nothofagus glauca (Phil.) Krasser), a native forest species widely distributed in central Chile. Using the water-drop-penetration-time … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2019 · 9,388 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomatic Boundary Detection of Wall Motion in Two-dimensional Echocardiography ImagesFaten Abed Ali Dawood, Rahmita Wirza Rahmat, Mohd Zamrin Dimon et al.Problem statement: Medical image analysis is a particularly difficult problem because the inherent characteristics of these images, including low contrast, speckle noise, signal dropouts and complex anatomical structures. An accurate analysis of wall motion in Two-dimensional echocardiography images is “important clinical diagnosis parameter for many cardiovascular diseases”. A challenge most researchers faced is how to speed up the clinical decisions … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 15 Jul 2011 · 8,188 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling the Distribution of Rainfall Intensity using Hourly DataSalisu Dan'azumi, Supiah Shamsudin, Azmi ArisProblem statement: Design of storm water best management practices to control runoff and water pollution can be achieved if a prior knowledge of the distribution of rainfall characteristics is known. Rainfall intensity, particularly in tropical climate, plays a major role in the design of runoff conveyance and erosion control systems. This study is aimed to explore the statistical distribution of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,001 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Near Real-time Early Warning System on Erosion HazardsFaisal H. Ali, Tew K. HuiWith many incidences of landslides, mudslides and erosion occurrences lately, especially in the highlands in Malaysia, properties were damaged and lives were lost. Seeing the need of resolving and minimizing such untoward incidences, a study has been embarked on developing a near real-time early warning system on erosion hazards so as to provide an early warning to the public, whenever … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,706 accessesView PDF Cite
