Clay Minerals Of Some Arable Soils In Miyazaki Prefecture

Detecting Clay Minerals in Soils through Hyperspectral Remote Sensing

Images of representative clayey bare fields were chosen from a high spatial resolution hyperspectral dataset that was acquired with the prototypal airborne Hyper SIM-GA sensor from Selex Galileo simultaneously with ground soil spectral signatures and the collection of samples. After both the pre-processing and calibration of the SIM-GA data, the mapping procedure was developed using the 2-2.45 ...

Molybdenum Adsorption on Oxides, Clay Minerals, and Soils

Molybdenum adsorption behavior was investigated on various crystalline and x-ray amorphous Al and Fe oxide minerals, clay minerals, CaC@, and arid-zone calcareous and noncalcareous s soils. Molybdenum adsorption on botb Al and Fe oxides exhibited a maximum at low pH extending to about pH 4 to 5. Above pH 5 adsorption decreased rapidly, with little adsorption occurring above pH 8. Molybdenum ads...

Recent trends of paragonimiasis westermani in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan.

Miyazaki Prefecture has long been known as one of the endemic areas of paragonimiasis westermani. The prevalence of this disease peaked around 1956 and then drastically decreased. A few sporadic cases are still occasionally found in Miyazaki Prefecture; however, the number of new cases has gradually increased during the last 5 years.

Current status of gnathostomiasis dorolesi in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan.

Gnathostomiasis is an important food-borne parasitic zoonosis caused mainly by ingesting uncooked or undercooked flesh of freshwater fishes. Although four distinct species of the genus Gnathostoma were identified as the causative agents for human gnathostomiasis, human infections with G. doloresi have been found only in Japan, concentrated in Miyazaki Prefecture. So far we have found 25 cases i...
