The study area is located in the basin of the Camastra River in the mountain zone of the Basilicata region in southern Italy. The aim of this study is to evaluate if any disagreement between ideal predicted porosity and experimental data can

Studies on the impact of cemeteries on groundwater quality were initiated by van Haaren in 1951, and were occasionally undertaken in the 1970s and 1980s in Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada and South Africa. Regular studies only began in the late
1980s and were continued in the 1990s in Brazil, South Africa, Australia and Poland. On a smaller scale, this kind of research was also undertaken in other countries such as the USA, Portugal, and France. An overview of the results of those studies
In this work the AA. present the results of a stratigraphic and lithologic study of a flowstone from Tana che Urla Cave, Apuan Alps (central Italy) which grew intermittently between ca. 160 and 8 ka. The studied succession consists of an alternation
After regime change industrial parks (IPs) with different transport conditions played a prominent role in the renewal and the spatial transformation of Hungarian industry. One of the main goals of the study is to reveal a relationship between
the main features and the transport connections of IPs and to demonstrate the impacts of transport infrastructures on the site selection of IPs. A further goal is to study the correspondence between the transport connections of IPs and their enterprises
A geomorphological and speleological approach in the study of hydrogeology of gypsum karst of Sorbas (SE Spain)
for better understanding the role of the karst aquifer in the groundwater recharge of the Aguas River. This study took place in the southern part of the Sorbas gypsum plateau with several steps and multiple field campaigns for geo-morphological
distribution together with structural alignments have been studied. - (NF)
This article offers a concise review of the theoretical debate on landscape and the geographical area (planning) carried on within geographical studies during the twentieth century. - (NF)
Stream frequency, drainage density, drainage texture and other parameters in the Ladhiya and Lohawati River Basins show a strong structural/tectonic control over the drainage of the Tanakpur-Champawat area. Field studies reveal that several parts
of the study area are structurally controlled and neotectonically active. Such neotectonic activities are especially associated with the configuration and evolution of the present day topography. Ample evidence of active tectonics such as landslides, river
terraces, vertical down-cutting of the rivers, deep gorges of rivers, triangular facets (flatirons) and tilting of beds, have been noticed in various parts of the study area. In some basins the morphometric parameters suggest a possibility of flash floods

Studying some hydro-physical properties of two soils amended with kaolinite-modified cross-linked poly-acrylamides
The aim of this study is to assess the hydrogel swelling in distilled water as well as within the soil matrix and to evaluate the role of the difference in the swelling degree between the clay-modified and the non clay-modified hydrogel in changing
some hydro-physical properties of soil. Two disturbed soil samples were obtained from two different locations in Egypt, El-Esmailyia and El-Nubaryia Agric. Res. Stations respectively. The change in the studied hydro-physical properties of soil treated
Background levels of potentially toxic elements in soils : A case study in Catamarca (a semiarid region in Argentina)
, Pb and Zn were detected in profile 29, confirming anthropogenic contamination. The results of this study confirm the importance of the local determination of background concentrations. The percentage of organic matter is the determining factor
in the presence and distribution of the metals (Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) available in the soils of the studied area, the top horizon having the greatest accumulation.
The effects of afforestation on soil organic and inorganic carbon : A case study of the Loess Plateau of China
The aims of this study were (1) to examine soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration in both the topsoil and subsoil during plantation forest establishment on marginal arable land and (2) to detect changes in the inorganic carbon (SIC) pool and its
distribution along the soil profile following the afforestation of cropland on the loess Plateau. The study area is located in the Ziwuling area of Fuxian County in the Shaanxi province. It is shown that SOC pool increased in both plow layer and subsoil during
Recent work has indicated that the southern African ice rat is responsible for negative habitat change due to its foraging and burrowing activities in the Lesotho Highlands. Previous work has focussed on short-term studies. This study evaluates
This study calculates a carbon footprint for Tara Road in the South Durban Industrial Basin. Carbon footprints are useful for raising local awareness of the climatic implications of the goods and services that residents choose to consume core
. Household participation in the calculations was sought and participation was enthusiastic. No data was obtained from the oil refinery. Such studies rely upon the availability of relevant and trustworthy information. In the context of state protection
Constructivist theory forms the basis for a wide range of active learning approaches, such as inquiry-based learning and problem-based learning. These approaches are inductive in that students build theory and generalizations from case studies
rather than more traditional approaches in which the students learn the theory and then study some examples. Students are typically more engaged in their active learning than they are in traditional approaches. Attempts to replace fieldwork with virtual
