Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLandslide Susceptibility Assessment using Frequency Ratio Model Applied to an Area along the E-W Highway (Gerik-Jeli)Tareq H. Mezughi, Juhari Mat Akhir, Abdul Ghani Rafek, Ibrahim AbdullahProblem statement: The study area is frequently subjected to landslides especially alongside the E-W high way. This study demonstrates the implementation of the Frequency Ratio (FR) model with the aid of GIS tool to assess the contribution of every predisposing factor on landslides and produce a landslide susceptibility map to the area. Approach: A landslide location map of the study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 9,093 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation, Selection and Assessment of Guidelines for Chemical Stabilization of Tropical Residual SoilsBujang B.K. Huat, Asmidar Alias, Azlan Abdul AzizSoil stabilization has been widely used as an alternative to substitute the lacking of suitable materials on site. Guidelines and standards have been developed to assist practitioners in designing structures such as road by mean of stabilization. This paper presents the results of an investigation aimed at evaluating and assessing the suitable guidelines for the stabilization of tropical residual soils. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,652 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Phenotypic Plasticity in Dairy Production Traits of Toggenburg Goat Genotypes Across South African Agro-ecological ZonesMatshebuka Tshepho, Obert Tada, Louis Thobela TyasiThe study evaluated phenotypic plasticity (PP) in reproductive and milk production traits of Toggenburg (TOG) goat genotypes across five South African agro-ecological zones (AEZ) using a longitudinal observational design. Data from 2,417 does representing five genotypes (Founders, CP, Appendix A, Appendix B, and StudBook Proper) were sourced from the Milch Breeders Society of South Africa LOGIX database. Descriptive statistics and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 25 Nov 2025 · 2,378 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSIMULTANEOUS OPTIMISATION OF DRYING PARAMETERS OF CERAMIC BODIESSalah Mahmoudi, Ezzeddine Srasra, Fouad ZargouniThis study deals with the mineralogical, physico-chemical and geotechnical analyses of representative Aptian clays in the north-east of Tunisia. X-ray diffraction reveals a predominance of illite (50-60 wt.%) associated to kaolinite and interstratified illite/smectite. The accessory minerals detected in raw materials are quartz, calcite and Na-feldspar. The average amounts of silica, alumina and alkalis are 52, 20 and 3.5 wt.%, … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 1 Jul 2014 · 6,991 accessesView PDF Cite
