Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPresence and Origin of Fluoride in the Complex Terminal Water of Ouargla Basin (Northern Sahara of Algeria)Imed Eddine Nezli, Samia Achour, Mohamed Djidel, Saïd AttalahProblem statement: The underground waters in the oriental regions of the Algerian Sahara, present real chemical quality problems. Their content in fluorides always exceeds the limit of the recommended levels. That is 0.8 mg L-1, according to the maximum temperature in the region. Combined to a high salinity, it affects the health of the population living around the region. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,677 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsContribution to the Study of the Origin of Salinity in Alluvial Aquifer System in the Ain chabro-Hammamet (North-East ALGERIA)K. Seghir, N. KhériciTebessa is located in the Algerian North East. It is characterized by a semi-arid continental climate with an average interannual precipitation of less than 400 mm.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Fertility Index on Various Rice Field Management Systems in Central Java, IndonesiaHaryuni, Atinnajah Kamalasari, Hery Widijanto, SupriyadiThe purpose of this research was to assess the condition of soil fertility and compare the soil fertility index in various rice field management systems. This research was conducted from July until December 2018 in the rice fields of Girimarto District, Wonogiri Regency with a survey method and land sampling by purposive sampling (intentionally) at a depth of 0-20 cm … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 25 Jun 2020 · 7,938 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImaging Spectroscopy and Light Detection and Ranging Data Fusion for Urban Features ExtractionMohammed Idrees, Helmi Zulhaidi Mohd Shafri, Vahideh SaeidiThis study presents our findings on the fusion of Imaging Spectroscopy (IS) and LiDAR data for urban feature extraction. We carried out necessary preprocessing of the hyperspectral image. Minimum Noise Fraction (MNF) transforms was used for ordering hyperspectral bands according to their noise. Thereafter, we employed Optimum Index Factor (OIF) to statistically select the three most appropriate bands combination from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 28 Oct 2013 · 7,161 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBacteria on Human SkinRichard W. Hyman, Farbod Babrzadeh, Curtis Palm et al.Problem statement: Human skin is a large (~ 1.75 m2) organ containing a large number of ecologically distinct sites. These sites harbor a variety of distinct microbiomes. One challenge is to define the microbiome at every site. We chose two interesting sites: the base of the Front of the neck and the base of the Back of the neck (the … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 23 Feb 2012 · 8,204 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparing the Fertility of Soils under Khaya ivorensis Plantation and Regenerated Degraded Secondary ForestsYetti Heryati, Arifin Abdu, Mohd Noor Mahat et al.Problem statement: It is widely accepted that conversion of natural forest to other land use types leads to deterioration of soil fertility and increased soil compaction which consequently become degraded secondary forests. Degraded secondary forest or forestland is indicated by low in soil fertility and organic matter due to imbalance input and output from original vegetation. Forest plantation through planting … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 8,513 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study of Soluble Sulfate Reduction by Bacterial Consortia from Varied Regions of IndiaPoonam Nasipuri, Gauri G. Pandit, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon Ray ChaudhuriSoluble sulfate contamination in water is observed due to various industrial activities. Chemical means of reduction are available yet the biological approach is the preferred one. Problem statement: The problem addressed in this study was the isolation of efficient sulfate reducing bacterial consortia for bioremediation of soluble sulfate from mining effluent. Approach: The culture based method using the DSMZ specific … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,341 accessesView PDF Cite
