Hydrologic Modeling of Urban Vegetative Filter Strips
(2014-01)
This paper presents a set of generalized charts that can be used as an aid for quick hydrologic evaluation of vegetative filter strips to determine the runoff residence time and reductions in storm runoff volume and peak ...
Hedonic valuation of land protection methods: implications for cluster development.
(2014-05)
This study estimates a generalized spatial hedonic pricing model to assess how residential property values are impacted by inclusion within cluster developments and by proximity to various types of protected land. The ...
Stability and removal of dexamethasone sodium phosphate from wastewater using modified clays.
(2014-08)
Stability and removal of dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP) from wastewater produced at Al-Quds University Campus were investigated. Kinetic studies in both pure water and wastewater coming from secondary treatment ...
Civil Unrest and the Poaching of Rhinos in the Kaziranga National Park, India
(Elsevier, 2014-07)
Civil unrest and political instability have been associated with endangered species poaching. This paper accounts for a period of civil unrest in Assam, India, which saw a marked increase in rhino poaching. Census data on ...
Review and Assessment of the Newly Developed MD for Desalination
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-09)
Although reverse osmosis (RO) is a membrane seperation process which leads to the desalination market for both seawater and brackish water desalination, other newly developed membranes processes are emerging to be well ...
Stability and Removal of Naproxen and Its Metabolite by Advanced Membrane Wastewater Treatment Plant and Micelle-Clay Complex
(2014-05)
Naproxen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, commonly used for fever, inflammation and for different health problems, as found for many pharmaceuticals has been recently detected in sewage effluents, surface, and ...
Intelligence and Environmental Emissions
(Elsevier, 2014-05)
We hypothesize that more intelligent people are likely to forgo proximal choices for more important distal alternatives with respect to the environment, consistent with the delay discounting rationale. We undertake an ...
Evaluation of Sustainability of Multistory Reinforced Concrete Structure
(2014)
Three different types of concrete mixes of design strengths 100 MPa, 50 MPa, and 50 MPa lightweight were designed, produced, and analyzed in the effort to quantify their effects on sustainability and economics. An overall ...
An Empirical Study on the Dynamic Relationship between Higher Educational Investment and Economic Growth using VAR Model
(Wiley, 2014-06)
Previous research has studied the relationship between higher education and economic growth, but the results are mixed. This paper analysed higher educational investment and economic growth theoretically and studied the ...
Outdoor Insulators Testing Using Artificial Neural Network-Based Near-Field Microwave Technique
(2014-02)
This paper presents a novel artificial neural network (ANN)-based near-field microwave nondestructive testing technique for defect detection and classification in nonceramic insulators (NCI). In this paper, distribution ...
