Determination of Stilling Basin Invert Elevation and Its Effect on Controlling Hydraulic Jumps
When water is released over chutes or spillways, potential energy becomes kinetic energy. It is necessary to discharge this energy to reduce the risk of serious erosion of the riverbed downstream and foundation deterioration, both of which might cause the spillway and dam to fall. Energy dissipators must be employed in order to accomplish this […]
Remote Sensing Applications for Sustainable Coastal Habitat Management
Natural habitats for the coastal biodiversity include mangroves, seagrass, salt marshes, coral reefs, coastal lagoons, and estuaries. They offer a variety of products and services, including the provision of food, control over water quality procedures, storm protection, and carbon sequestration. However, they have seen significant anthropogenic strain and severe natural disasters in recent decades. Therefore, […]
Latest News on Air Pollution : May 21
[1] Air pollution and health The book presents a comprehensive account of air pollution science and its impact on human health. It ranges in scope from meteorology, atmospheric chemistry and particle physics, to the aetiology and epidemiology of allergic reactions and respiratory, cardiovascular and related disorders. There is also international coverage and sections on cost […]
Latest Research News on Environmental Pollution : April 21
[1] Bankable permits for the control of environmental pollution Intertemporal trading of emission permits (banking) is often identified as one of three promising market mechanisms for controlling pollution (along with averaging and trading). Surprisingly, the efficiency properties of permit banking systems have not been investigated. Using a simple optimal control model, this paper investigates firms’ […]
News Update on Air Quality : April 21
[1] Indoor air quality and health During the last two decades there has been increasing concern within the scientific community over the effects of indoor air quality on health. Changes in building design devised to improve energy efficiency have meant that modern homes and offices are frequently more airtight than older structures. Furthermore, advances in […]
Sustainable Biological Life instead of Sustainable Development
It can be inferred on the basis of the evidence that such energetic and significant processes have occurred on our closed Planet since the emergence of the first living unit, quite different from the initial ones of its abiotic physical existence. The changes became more intense after the formation of the first human-like beings. The […]
Environmental Factors in Peatland Ecosystems
Since they act as a reservoir or sink of gases, the peatland ecosystem plays an important role in global climate change. Particularly in relation to climate change, there are many factors that affect the environmental impact of peatlands. Biological and chemical factors that can impact peatland ecosystems are the main influences. The biodiversity of peatlands […]
Study on Application of the Electrical Resistivity in Building Foundation Study around Led School Area in Bishini, Northwestern Nigeria
For the preparation of geoelectric sections along four cross sections, the findings from the 2-D interpretation of the VES data were used. The interpreted results showed that three to five layers of geoelectric sections consist of: top soil, laterite, lateritic clay, weathered layer and fresh basement. For the top soil, the resistivity value and subsurface […]
Advanced Research on Potential of Remote Sensing – A Review Based on Natural Disasters Occurred during the Last Decade in Chile
Chile has been suffering from a number of natural disasters over the past decade. Via natural disasters that have occurred in Chile over the past ten years, it is demonstrated how observations gained by various currently available Remote Sensing sensors have been successfully used on many occasions. The examples given in this article are based […]
Judaic, Christian and Islamic Leaders on Mitigating Human-induced Climate Change
In order to reduce the detrimental effects of human-forced climate change, leaders of Judaism, Christianity and Islam have openly urged intervention. Rabbi Arthur Waskow, Pope Francis, and Patriarch Bartholomew were especially prominent prior to, during, and after the 21st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. A party of […]
