Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStudy of the Permeability of Foam Conditioned Soils with Laboratory TestsLuca Borio, Daniele PeilaProblem statement: EPB tunneling requires that the excavated soil has a plastic and pulpy behavior to be able to apply a stabilizing pressure to the face, but it should also be impervious to counteract filtration forces that could develop ahead of the face. The evaluation of this parameter in granular soil, before and after conditioning, is therefore of key importance … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,468 accessesView PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMechanical Scarification and Sucrose Priming Overcome Physical Dormancy in Caesalpinia spinosa (Tara) Seeds from the Peruvian HighlandsWilfredo Ruiz-Camacho, Ítalo Maldonado Ramirez, Juan Eduardo Suarez Rivadeneira et al.Caesalpinia spinose (tara) is a leguminous tree native to the Peruvian Andes-Amazon region, valued for soil restoration and high tannin content. However, its large-scale propagation is constrained by physical seed dormancy caused by a hard and impermeable seed coat. This study evaluated six pre-germination treatments to break dormancy and enhance early seedling development under local agroclimatic conditions in Magdalena District, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 12 Aug 2026 · 1,211 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThermal Performance of a Solar Heat Storage Accumulator Used For Greenhouses ConditioningMejdi Hazami, Sami Kooli, Meriam Lazaar et al.The use of solar energy for greenhouse heating has gained an increasing acceptance during the last years. Active solar systems applied to greenhouses can supply a significant part of the heating requirements. However, there are some problems related to the cost of the heat collection unit and the heat storage methods. In this context several techniques were born. The most … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,041 accessesView PDF Cite
