Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleIn situ Shear Tests of Soil Samples with Grass Roots in Alpine EnvironmentE. Comino, A. DruettaProblem statement: The presence of vegetation increases the soil burden stability along slopes and reduces soil erosion. Its contribution is due to mechanical (reinforcing soil shear resistance) and hydrologic controls on streambank and superficial landslides. This study presented the results carried out from experimental in situ test focused to study the increased shear resistance of soil blocks due to root-reinforcement. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,259 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAgro-Process Intensification through Synthetic Rhizosphere Media for Nitrogen Fixation and Yield Enhancement in PlantsG. Akay, D. R. BurkeProblem statement: In order to combat global warming and the emerging Food, Energy and Water shortages (FEWs), several approaches have been adopted, including genetic engineering and farming practices. Biomass based energy technology will further stress food and water resources and hence novel holistic approaches to FEWs should be designed. Approach: A novel technique (Agro-Process Intensification, A-PI) which simultaneously addresses FEWs … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 15 Mar 2012 · 8,599 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModelling Political Support among Women with Political Actors in Northern StatesZaherawati Zakaria, Kamarudin Ngah, Jamaludin Mustaffa et al.Problem statement: Women in Asia are making their mark with distinct styles of leadership, but have a long way to go to reach the critical mass needed to level a political playing field that remains much easier for men to take part.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of the Drying Kinetics of Lemon GrassMustafa Ibrahim, K. Sopian, W. R.W. DaudProblem statement: The thin- layer drying experiments were conducted to examine the effect of drying air temperature and humidity on the drying kinetics. Approach: A model to estimate the drying behavior of Lemon grass was developed). Results: Four different thin-layer drying models were compared with respect to their coefficient of determination (R2), Mean Bias Error (MBE) and Root Mean Square … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,432 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManganese Uptake By Facultative and Obligate Wetland Plants Under Laboratory ConditionsA. E. Ghaly, A. Snow, M. KamalThe effect of initial concentrations of manganese on the overall removal efficiency of Mn by wool grass, soft rush, broad leaved cattail and soft stem bulrush plants was investigated under laboratory conditions. The translocation of Mn in the roots, stems, leaves and flowers of each plant species was determined and the fraction of Mn removed by precipitation was calculated. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 8,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation Model for Feasibility Studies on Bioremediation of Uranium Mill Tailings using Hyper Accumulator Chrysopogon zizanioidesH. Shanmugasundaram, Sathesh Kumar Annamalai, Kantha Deivi Arunachalam et al.Contamination of environment by uranium is expected in places where mining of uranium ore and processing, nuclear testing and reactor operations when the control measures are not effective. The daughter radionuclides of the ores, chemical additives and residual uranium are the maincomponents of processed waste from uranium industries. The bioremediation of contaminated areas using plant species or group of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 11 Dec 2016 · 8,872 accessesView PDFCite
