Total Factor Productivity of Manufacturing Sector in India: A Regional Analysis for the State of Haryana

The present study used different categories of organized sector manufacturing industries pooled data for the periods of 1981-82 and 2007-08 in Haryana state (India). The present undertaking seeks to analyze the inter-temporal and inter-industry comparison of total factor productivity (TFP) measured by Malmquist productivity index - an application of DEA which calculates the indices of TFP and i...

A Comparison of Coincident Landsat-5 TM and Resourcesat-1 AWiFS Imagery for Classifying Croplands

PHOTOGRAMMETRIC ENGINEER ING & REMOTE SENS ING Novembe r 2008 1413 Abstract A comparison of land-cover maps, emphasizing row crop agriculture, resulting from independent classifications of coincident Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper (TM) and Resourcesat-1 Advanced Wide Field Sensor (AWIFS) imagery is presented. Three agriculturally intensive study areas within the midsection of the United States were ...

Predicting live herbaceous moisture content from a seasonal drought index.

In order to provide a relatively simple means of predicting live herbaceous plant moisture content from a readily available meteorological index with an accuracy adequate for fire hazard assessment, the moisture content fluctuations of certain species were correlated with the values of a seasonal drought index based on soil moisture deficiency. The simple linear regression models provided the b...

Thermal-Based Evaporative Stress Index for Monitoring Surface Moisture Depletion

The standard suite of indicators currently used in operational drought monitoring reflects anomalous conditions in several major components of the hydrologic budget—representing deficits in precipitation, soil moisture content, runoff, surface and groundwater storage, snowpack, and streamflow. In principle, it is useful to have a diversity of indices because drought can assume many forms (meteo...
