Impact of Farming Activities on Vegetation in Olokemeji Forest Reserve, Nigeria

by

Ogunleye A.J., Adeola A.O., Ojo O. L. and Aduradola A.M.

General

An investigation was carried out in Olokemeji Forest Reserve (Nigeria) to examine the impact of farming activities on the vegetation of the reserve. The 5,888 hectare forest reserve was divided into three zones for the purpose of this study. They are natural forest (zone 1), plantation (zone 2) and...

Lead and copper contamination in small arms firing ranges

by

Dermatas D., Menouno N., Dutko P., Dadachov M., Arienti P. and Tsaneva V.

General

Firing range activities have been proven to adversely impact the environment. The main concern in small arms firing ranges (SAFRs) is the fate and transport of heavy metals from bullets and bullet fragments accumulating in soil with lead (Pb) being the primary contaminant. Frequently however...

Improvement of H2O2 Stabilization in Rainwater Samples

by

Ceron R.M., Muriel M. and Ceron J.G.

General

Peroxides collected in rainwater readily decompose in the natural matrix, consequently it is hard to estimate their values present during precipitation events. For this reason, only few data concerning the concentration of aqueous H2O2 in dew, cloud and rainwater are available. Therefore, it is...

Geologic and Oceanographic Data Determining the "Old Foreshore Zone", of the Heraklion Coastal Area, Crete Island

by

Pehlivanoglou G.K. and Papathanasoglou A.

General

Geologic, oceanographic and topographic data and field measurements, of the coastal area in front of Heraklion City, Crete Island, as well as deep sea wave measurements and shallow wave prediction numerical modelling were used for the determination of the 1884 foreshore. Data from numerous drills...

Ranking spatial interpolation techniques using a GIS-based DSS

by

Naoum S. and Tsanis I.K.

General

A GIS-based Decision Support System (DSS) was developed to select the appropriate interpolation technique used in studying rainfall spatial variability. The DSS used the ArcView GIS platform by incorporating its spatial analysis capabilities, the programming language "AVENUE", and simple statistical...

Weathering of Lead in Fort Irwin Firing Range Soils

by

Dermatas D., Dadachov M., Dutko P., Menouno N., Arienti P. and Shen G.

General

This paper investigates the physical and chemical transformation of metallic lead (Pb) in Ft. Irwin firing range soils. Soil samples were collected from berms of two small arms firing ranges, an active one and an abandoned one, located in the Mojave desert. Pb bullet fragments found in field samples...

Environmental Strategies of Polluting Industries

by

Sarmento M. and Duarte M.

General

Citizen concerns about environmental management practices will usually lead to public attention and legislative proposals. This paper intends to assess the behaviour of potential environmental polluting industries. In order to accomplish this objective, a survey composed of twenty-five questions was...

Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Air Temperature in the Northern Hemisphere

by

Philandras C.M., Nastos P. Th., Kanellopoulou E.A. and Paliatsos A.G.

General

In the present study, the spatial and temporal surface air temperature variability for the Northern Hemisphere has been examined, for the period 1900-1996. Factor Analysis has been applied to 5o Latitude x 10o Longitude grid box data covering the area from almost the equator to 70o N. These data are...
