Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleStudies on the Seasonal Changes in Antioxidant Enzymes Activity on Differently, Polluted Areas along the Bay of Bengal Employing Perna viridis as an Animal ModelC. Amutha, P. SubramanianAntioxidants are the innate or acquired molecules capable of slowing down or preventing the oxidative damage (damage due to reactive oxygen species) that caused by free radicals. The antioxidant enzyme activity in response to season as well as hydrocarbon pollution was attempted. Rayapuram fishing harbor of Chennai (Station-1) is highly oil contaminated with oil sleeks on the surface.

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleSpecies Composition, Ecological Parameters and Seasonal Changes of Planktonic Ciliates Population in Bukan Dam ReservoirA. Mohsenpour Azary, F. Mohebbi, A. Eimanifar et al.Problem Statement: Since there is no evidence to identify present species in the Bukan dam reservoir, therefore, this study was conducted to provide background for fisheries purposes. Approach: The abundance and species composition of ciliates were analyzed in the Bukan Dam reservoir (west Azerbaijan, Iran) from January to December 2007. Surface water samples were collected at monthly intervals at two … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,787 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLocal Climate Trends and Farmers’ Perceptions in Southern Tigray, Northern EthiopiaM. G. Abrha, S. SimhadriThis study aimed to investigate changes in local climate, farmers’ perception to the change and factors affecting perception of farmers to climate change. For trend analysis, we gathered station based rainfall records for the period 1978-2012, while for perception analysis survey was carried out. 600 farming households were randomly selected from four districts using a multi-stage sampling method. Nonparametric analysis … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 8 Oct 2015 · 7,926 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSurvival and Changes in Germination Response of Rumex obtusifolius Polygonum longisetum and Oenothera biennis during Burial at Three Soil DepthsShiro TsuyuzakiTo investigate patterns in seed germination and survival at three different soil depths over a long time span, seeds of Rumex obtusifolius, Polygonum longisetum and Oenothera biennis were examined as a function of season (spring, autumn) and soil depth (3, 10, 30 cm). Buried seeds were exhumed after 3 years and subjected to two different temperature treatments. These were gradually … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,204 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementing a Hybrid VMD–BiTCN–BiGRU Architecture With Intelligent Optimization for Agricultural Commodity Price Prognostication in Gujarat MarketsJignesh Hirapara, Ratnesh Kumar Namdeo, Ankit Kumar Dubey et al.In the agricultural sector, the prices of pulses require adequate forecasting to plan farming activities, store and market, and guide policy-making. However, the pulse price series is highly volatile, seasonal, nonstationary, and nonlinear, and thus conventional linear time series models are not necessarily very effective. In the suggested framework, the raw price data series is decomposed using Variational Mode Decomposition … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 7 · 1 Aug 2026 · 1,042 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTime Series Analysis for Predicting Tea Harvest Yield: A SARIMAX-Based ApproachPallavi Nagpal, Deepika Chaudhary, Jaiteg SinghPrecise prediction of tea yield is crucial for both agricultural planning and economic forecasting. Projection of the future trends, which rely on present and historical data, is the process termed 'forecasting'. Yield prediction is fundamental for research and development. By gathering the yield data over historic times, the researchers can make their work more valuable by predicting the yield patterns. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 19 Feb 2026 · 1,900 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Intelligent Approach to Develop, Assess and Optimize Energy Consumption Models for Air-Cooled Chillers using Machine Learning AlgorithmsMostafa Tahmasebi, Nabil NassifThe building sector accounts for more than 70% of the total electricity use. Chillers consume more than 50% of electrical energy during seasonal periods of building use. With the growth of the building sector and climate change, it's essential to develop energy-efficient HVAC systems that optimize the ever-increasing energy demand. This study aims to develop an energy consumption prediction model … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 8 Nov 2022 · 5,520 accessesView PDF Cite

Research NotesOpen accessIn the abstractTime-Resolution of Climate Change Monitoring Volcanic Cycles, Stromboli, Ocean Floor Biota and Pandemics (?)Giovanni Pietro Gregori, Gabriele PaparoClimate change is an ongoing, poorly understood and disquieting challenge. The primary drivers are debated. Clear evidence is however suggestive of a time variation of the planetary release of endogenous energy. In fact, soil exhalation is an unprecedented challenge for humankind, as a phenomenon of this kind happens only every 27.40.05 Ma, while human history spans only the last 30,0000 … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 7 Sep 2021 · 6,258 accessesView PDF Cite
