Fracture Delineation for Groundwater Target in a Precambrian Hydrogeological Setting in Part of Ado Ekiti, Southwestern Nigeria

Authors: Jimoh RA, Ogungbade O, Adeniji MA, Gbadebo OA, Afonja YO, Okanlawon MO, Ali AH, Adesanya Dada, Esan DS and Adekunle AA

Abstract: This paper focused on the delineation of fracture zones in relatively Precambrian aquifer rocks for groundwater targeting in New Iyin road of Ado Ekiti, Southwestern Nigeria from Geophysical imprints. A total of two (2) Electromagnetic (EM) profiles and six (6) Vertical electrical sounding (VES) were acquired. The traverse was conducted along the Eastern to western flank. Four prominent geologic layers were delineated to diagnose the prolific aquifer units in the study area, which includes the fractured aquifer and the weathered layer.

Occurrence, Diversity and Potential of Fungal Pathogens Associated with Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes [Mart.] Solms) for Sustainable Biological Management in Ethiopia: A Review

Authors: Abebe Yilma Tasew and Weletehana Weldeamanuel Wendimagegnehu

Abstract: Ethiopia is blessed in biodiversity and is one of the twelve Vavilovian centers of origin. However, the country’s biodiversity is threatened by more than 35 invasive alien species. Of the most destructive invasive alien species which pose serious threat to the Ethiopian water body is water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms. The current review is aimed to provide basic insights towards the indigenous potential pathogenic fungi, their occurrence and severity of infection for effective water hyacinth management. The review result indicated that, about 25 fungal pathogens were identified causing infection to water hyacinth; collected from different infested areas of water bodies in Ethiopia.

Participatory Evaluation and Selection of Recently Released tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter] Varieties in Awi Zone, Western Ethiopia

Authors: Yaregal Damtie, Worku Kebede and Taye Haile

Abstract: Tef is honored and the main dietary food for health existence and food security in Ethiopia. It is adaptable to a wide range of environmental conditions; however its production and productivity varied across the environment. Therefore this experiment was conducted in the agro pastoral areas of Jawi District at Worqi Meda kebele in the 2020 main season at the agro pastorals field with the objectives to evaluate and recommend high yielding improved tef varieties, assess the agro pastoral selection measures for tef and select varieties to build agro-pastoralists’ knowledge and skill of production and management of improved tef technologies through the target areas. It was comprised 13 varieties including local check in RCBD with 3 replications.

Issues and Challenges of Incorporating Time and Temporality in Human Geographical Analysis

Authors: Wei Sun, Haitao Jin and Fengjun Jin

Abstract: Human geography is regarded as a discipline related to people, environment and space. In fact, it has a long tradition to take time factors into consideration.However, most of early studies focused on conceptual, experimental or sectional analysis. With the abundance of time-stamped data, the granularity of time recording, and the improvement of computing technology in recent decades, it became possible to incorporate time and temporality in a more accurate, multi-scale and dynamic way.

Pilot Plant Model for Sequential CO2 Fixation and Storage

Authors: Kenji Sorimachi

Abstract: In the previously developed method using low NaOH and CaCl2 concentrations, the atmospheric CO2 is simply fixed to CaCO3 and NaCl, which exist as coal or limestone, and a large chamber comprising spray nozzles to capture CO2 efficiently by mists or droplets of NaOH solution has been designed. In the present study, a sequential CO2 fixation and storage

Responses of Antioxidants Enzymes to Oxidative Stress in the Floral Species Drimia Maritime

Authors: Yara R Khairallah, Tarek Houri, Bilal Osta, Danny M Romanos and Georges R Haddad

Abstract: In natural habitats, plants that encounter adverse growth conditions are preserved in natural reserves where rare or endangered species, such the rare plant species “Drimia maritima” are protected. However, abiotic stress, generated by air pollution near Bentael natural reserve - Lebanon, where ‘Drimia maritima” is widespread, is suspected to induce alteration in the biochemical status of the plant. The antioxidant potential was determined by measuring the activities

Fine Root Response of Poplar Trees Pollarded at the End of the Growing Season

Authors: Maldonado M, Kemp P, McIvor I and Douglas G

Abstract: The effectiveness of wide-spaced-planted poplar trees (Populus spp.) for reducing shallow landslide occurrence relies mainly on the extensive root development of individual trees and root interlocking between neighbouring trees. This study aimed to determine the impact of pollarding at the end of the growing season on the fine root structure of poplar trees aged 11 years.

Pseudokirchneriella Subcapitata, Ceriodaphnia Dubia and Rainbow Trout Responses to Uranium Exposure in Combination with Metals, Nutrients and Total Dissolved Solids Mixtures Using Site Water Collected from Two Creeks Located in the Yukon

Authors: Jorgelina Muscatello, Mimi Tran, David Flather, Curtis Eickhoff and Jennie Gjertsen

Abstract: This study evaluates the effects of uranium (U) in combination with metals (arsenic, copper, chromium and zinc), nutrients (ammonia, sulphate) and total dissolved solids (TDS) on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Ceriodaphnia dubia and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Water was collected from two creeks in the Yukon and spiked with a mixture of U, metals, nutrients and TDS. Water was collected at two times of the year (summer and winter). Tests included

The Challenge of Global CO2 Reduction: The Potential of the Method Based on Seawater Electrolysis

Authors: Katsuyoshi Tatenuma and Fabio Spaziani

Abstract: The atmospheric CO2 concentration dramatically increased in the last 300 years, due to fossil fuels consumption and deforestation. From approximately 280 ppm before the start of the industrial revolution, about a 140 ppm upsurge was estimated. This phenomenon is understood to be responsible for a rise in global temperature, which will lead to glaciers melting and sea levels rising. Consequently, the research focused on atmospheric carbon capture and storage is fundamental for achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement concerning climate change mitigation.
