Geographic Information Systems: A Tool For Rural Community Research, Sarah Dewees, Timothy Collins

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Because of their traditional application in the environmental and geological sciences, geographic information systems are not usually considered to be useful tools for rural community research or analysis. The 1990 census made socio-economic data available at the block-group level, however, and this has facilitated the mapping of socio-economic variables in small areas. Insight, explanation, and understanding can come from seeing data in their spatial context. Citizen researchers in the Jackson County, KY, Empowerment Zone used block-group level data in maps of their county to study socio-economic patterns in their communities. This paper provides an example of a way to use …

Estimating The Usle - Soil Erodibility Factor In Developing Tropical Countries:A Case Study In Tanzania, Metthew Mulengeral

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

Developing countries in the tropics are facing more soil erosion problems than the developed temperate countries. These developing countries have no accurate locally applicable equation(s) for predicting soil erosion or for planning and implementation of soil conservation measures. Furthermore, These countries do not have the necessary resources to develop the soil loss prediction equation(s). Existing empirical equations like the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) if modified to suit tropical conditions can be useful a tool in soil erosion control in the region for a foreseeable future. In this paper equations'for estimating the soil erodibility factor in the USLE for tropical …

Oxygen Transfer In A Three-Phase Fluidised Bed Bioreactor With Novel Biomass Support When Used In Industrial Wastewater Treatment, S Manyele,

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

The effect of support mass and liquid height on the oxygen transfer in the three- phase fluidised bed were experi/nenta/ly investigated. Novel biomass support, rhe KMT*, with density of 850 kg/n/ and an equivalent size, dp 8.3 mm, has been used in this work. The oxygen transfer rate was expressed in terms of rhe volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient, kca. It has been found out that the* a values increased with increasing support mass up to a critical solids load of 4.0 kg, above which the kca decreased and that kca decreased with increasing liquid height. It has been recommended that …

A Comparison Of Three Numerical Methods Of Solutions Of Equations Describing Unsteady Gas Flow At Pipe Boundaries In Reciprocating Compressor Systems, M Mkumbwa

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

A number of finite difference schemes are available to study pressure fluctuation effects in unsteady pipe flows. This paper presents a comparison Of the predictions made by three such schemes of unsteadyjlow effects in a number of reciprocating compressor pipe-work systems. The finite difference schemes considered were;- a first order scheme known as the method Of characteristics, two second order schemes which were the Leapfrog method and MacCormacVs method. A reciprocating compressor simulation computer program was coupled with equations describing the cylinder thermodynamic processes with the pipe flow equations for steady non-homentropicflow. The comparison presented takes into account both the …

Impacts Of The New Fixed Link Between Sweden And Denmark On The Transport Logistics System In Sweden, Lamia Bennouna

World Maritime University Dissertations

The dissertation is a study of the impacts of the new fixed link over the Oresund on the Swedish transport logistics system. Sweden is separated from the continent by its peninsula situation. The advent of the Oresund link in the year 2000 is going to be a historic event that represents a major step in the integration of Scandinavia into the EU. For the first time, Sweden will be linked directly by land to the continental Europe. The new fixed link will have various effects in the region, including impacts on the transport logistics related to the carriage of goods …
