This paper aims to improve understanding of the grocery retail landscape in a megacity developing world. Over past ten years (i.e., 2010–2020), sector Mexico City has changed significantly. The fast growth chain convenience stores (CCS) and financial stability modern channel (MCS) provoked speculation about whether nanostores mom-and-pop stores) are going disappear or if they will endure.

Fluoride is a naturally occurring toxic mineral present in drinking water and causes yellowing of teeth, tooth problems etc. Fluorspar, Cryolite and Fluorapatite are the naturally occurring minerals, from which fluoride finds its path to groundwater through infiltration. In the present study two groundwater samples, Station I and Station II at Hyderabad megacity, the capital of Andhra Pradesh w...

This paper introduces an integrative methodology that has been developed to measure temporal changes in urban morphology based on the techniques of multiple endmember spectral mixture analysis (MESMA), landscape metrics, and fuzzy logic. In order to illustrate an application of the methodology, the paper uses two satellite images acquired in 1990 and 2000 for the metropolitan area of Los Angele...
