Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFocusing of the Flow Capture for Local Exhaust Ventilation SystemsS. Y. Spotar, A. L. SorokinProblem statement: The extraction hoods commonly used as inlet element of the local ventilation systems exhibit limited emission capture over moderate distances from the source of the hazardous emissions. Proposed inclusion of a swirling peripheral jet was found to increase the effective length over which the extraction hood successfully captures harmful fumes. However information on a detailed pattern field of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,333 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGroundwater Flow Systems and Their Response to Climate Change: A Need for a Water-System View ApproachJoel J. Carrillo-Rivera, Antonio CardonaProblem statement: The interest in early hydrogeological studies was the aquifer unit, as it is the physical media that stores and permits groundwater transfers from the recharge zone to the discharge zone, making groundwater available to boreholes for water extraction. Approach: Recently, the aquifer concept has been complemented by the groundwater flow system theory, where groundwater may be defined by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 7 Apr 2012 · 8,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Areas Susceptible to Gullies in Ideato South Local Government Area of Nigeria Using Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing TechnologySylvanus IroGully erosion is a critical environmental hazard in Southeastern Nigeria, threatening agricultural productivity, infrastructure, and communal safety. This study provides a spatially explicit assessment of gully erosion susceptibility in Ideato South Local Government Area (LGA), Imo State, using an integrated Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing framework. The methodology employed a multi-criteria decision-making approach, utilizing the Analytical Hierarchy Process … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 20 Jul 2026 · 1,198 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioremediation Potential of Heavy Metal-Resistant Bacteria in Koto Panjang Reservoir, Riau, IndonesiaIrda Sayuti, Darmadi, Adrian Hartanto et al.Koto Panjang Reservoir serves as a vital water resource supporting the social well-being of the local community in the Riau Province. The flow of the Kampar River, acting as the riverine zone and water inlet to the reservoir, provides environmental support for the construction of hydroelectric power plants (PLTA) and the aquaculture practice of Floating Net Cages (FNC). Over the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 1 · 10 Feb 2025 · 4,539 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractToward a Good Decision to Improve the Weight of Control of Expenditure for Local CommunitiesAanouar Riad Solh, Mourad El BelkacemiIn order to improve the weight control of local government spending, we have developed a technique to supervise the classification of local authorities according to their expense ratios. This aims to develop the repository of rules and decision-making skills of business leaders of local communities and enabling to detect frauds in expenditure ratios that cause weakness of the Current Flow … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 26 Mar 2016 · 6,995 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSIMULATION OF THE PROCESS OF FLOW SEPARATION AT THE ENTRANCE OF SQUARE ASPIRATING PORTOlga A. Averkova, Ilya V. Kryukov, Kirill V. Plotnikov et al.We consider the flow at the inlet to the suction square hole with sharp edges, which is located in an infinite space. The purpose of this study is to construct a mathematical model of flow separation at the entrance to square suction canal with sharp edges, located in infinite space, by using square vortex frameworks. As a part of ideology … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 12 Nov 2014 · 6,685 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Model Predicting the Critical Heat Flux of Nuclear ReactorsChien-Hsiung Lee, Lih-Wu Hourng, Kuo-Wei LinBoiling heat transfer system keeps a nuclear power plant safe without getting over-heated. Crisis will occur if the dissipated heat flux exceeds the critical heat flux value. This study assumes the flow boiling system at high heat flux is characterized by the existence of a very thin liquid layer, known as the &#34sublayer&#34, which is trapped between the heated surface … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 12 Dec 2012 · 7,698 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGravitational Force of Community Events: A New Method of Evaluating Value of Local EventsNathanael L. Adams, Lynn L. AdamsProblem statement: This proposed “Gravitational Force” model was created to give communities a way to measure how effectively local events attract participants and visitors from a distance. Additionally, this study shows how to quantify the economic effect of an event on the local tax base and the entire community. This model can be used for all kinds of events and … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2012 · 7,886 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransient MHD Mixed Double Diffusive Convection Along a Vertical Plate Embedded in a Non-Darcy Porous Medium with Suction or InjectionKhaled K. JaberProblem statement: Transient non-Darcy mixed double convection from a semi-infinite, isothermal vertical plate embedded in a homogeneous porous medium, in the presence of surface suction or injection had been numerically investigated. Approach: Forchheimer extension was considered in the flow equations. Appropriate transformations were employed to transform the derived partial differential equations governing the problem under consideration on the assumption of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 10 Dec 2011 · 7,125 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExplaining Local Growth-Management Policies: The Role of Public GoodsDonna Driscoll, Dennis Halcoussis, Anton D. LowenbergProblem statement: Local jurisdictions such as cities and counties enact a wide variety of growth-management regulations, such as zoning ordinances and growth-promoting incentives. Approach: Use a theory of local public goods to identify the conditions under which jurisdictions are most likely to implement growth-management regulations. Predictions of the theory regarding variation in pro-growth measures across jurisdictions were tested using data … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,388 accessesView PDFCite
