the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...

Mine environmental monitoring using CHRIS Proba imagery of the Dexing Copper Mine, China

Traditional ground based monitoring of mining activities are no longer acceptable or sometimes sufficient in terms of assessing sustainable business practices. Remote sensing is increasingly influencing the changing social and management processes of mineral extractions. This study focuses on the application of hyperspectral remote sensing to monitor water and vegetation pollutions at the Dexin...

The influence of environmental parameters on fish larval distribution and abundance in the mangrove estuarine area of Marudu bay, Sabah, Malaysia

The aim of this study was to estimate the influence of selected environmental parameters on the fish larval distribution and abundance between October 2012 and September 2013 in the Mangrove estuarine area of Marudu bay, Sabah, Malaysia. Fish larvae samples were collected monthly using plankton net of 350 mm of mesh size with a mouth opening of 40.5 cm in diameter through 20 min surface tows. F...
