Pollutant dispersion modeling in low wind and stable conditions

The aim of this work is to present an analytical solution to the three-dimensional advection-diffusion equation in low wind conditions in a stable boundary layer dominated by shear. The model includes the longitudinal diffusion that can not be neglected in low wind conditions. The solution of the advection-diffusion equation is obtained applying the integral transform technique. To validate this methodology, data collected during the classic Prairie Grass experiment were employed.

Evaluation of some plant extracts on mycelial growth and sporulation density of fungal pathogens of groundnut (arachis hypogaea l.) in-vitro

The effect of autoclave and ultraviolet light-sterilized aqueous extracts of Tithonia diversifolia, Chromolaena odorata and Tridax procumbens on mycelial growth and sporulation density of fungal pathogens were also determined in vitro. Aqueous extracts of the test plants significantly (p < 0.05) reduced mycelial growth of the fungal pathogens. Tithonia diversifolia extract inhibited mycelial growth of C. arachidicola by 96.17% while C. odorata extract reduced mycelial growth of A. alternata by 90.74%. Tridax procumbens extract suppressed mycelial growth of C.

Feasibility studies of natural plants coagulants in the removal of selected water contaminants

The greatest public health concern about water is directed to its ever increasing number of contaminants. Public distribution systems, though accessible only to a limited population, mainly make use of chemicals in the treatment processes. Such water treatment systems overlay burden on the developing nation’s financial resources. Moreover, reports states that such chemicals can cause severe health hazards. These points out the need for low-cost, replicable non-chemicals, which would be effective in the treatment of water contaminants.
