A geomorphological investigation was conducted in Fox Creek valley within the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, Chase County, Kansas. During the first stage of the study, Quaternary landforms were defined and mapped in the valley. This was followed by inspection of cutbank exposures along the creek and deep coring across the valley floor. Subsurface information gleaned from the exposures and...

Contamination of soil with helminth eggs in Kathmandu Valley (n=122) and outside of Valley (n=34) in Nepal was investigated with the use of centrifugal floatation technique using sucrose solution (sp gr 1.200). The overall soil contamination rate was 36.5% (57/156). The prevalence was uniform in Kathmandu Valley (36.9%) and outside of the valley (35.3%). A mean of six helminth eggs per sample w...

Using a high-resolution regional climate model RegCM3, station and satellite observations, we have studied the spatial heterogeneity of climate variability over Java Island, Indonesia. Besides the well-known anomalous dry conditions that characterize the dry and transition seasons during an El Niño year, analysis of regional model output reveals a wet mountainous south versus dry northern plain...

The authors reported a good quality results of the important problem in the Kathmandu Valley, the did not defined any where in the paper about Semi-volatile aerosol they are targeting, what are the possible sources and what are the pollutants concentrations in Kathmandu valley. In figure it has been shown that absorption of dry and wet aerosol species is maximum in the morning time from 05:00 t...

Abstract Floods are frequent hazard in Algeria. They cause severe casualties, destroy infrastructures, and impair economies. In the past decades, Algeria experienced devastating floods. The dominant type of occurring floods flash floods, which tend to be not well documented studied This chapter presents a brief introduction flood phenomena within Algerian climatic management context, based on d...
