Known conceptual and technical limitations of mainstream environmental health data analysis have directed research to new avenues. The goal is to deal more efficiently with the inherent uncertainty and composite space-time heterogeneity of key attributes, account for multi-sourced knowledge bases (health models, survey data, empirical relationships etc.), and generate more accurate predictions ...

The results of investigations on shaping the soil moisture ratio in mountain basin Mątny stream located Gorce region, Poland, are presented. A was defined as a given point to one base watershed. Investigations were carried out, using TDR device, for 379 measuring points an irregular network, 0–25 cm layer. Values fluctuated between 0.75 and 1.85. Based measurements, artificial neural network (A...

Introduction The vegetation of great areas of Mixed Prairie has been destroyed by plowing. But even larger ones, still intact , have degenerated far from a climax condition. The almost universal cause for such deterioration, aside from drought, is grazing. The objective of this study has been to ascertain the changes in vegetation that have resulted from 60-70 years of different intensities of ...

Land has been the central issue to human society since the dawn of civilization. Primitive society took it as free gift of nature. Land and livelihood has become the intertwined focal issues in the epochal social transformation processes famous in different era of human civilizations which gave birth to the problem of ownership entitlement, the milestone of turning land as source...

Simplifications used in regional climate models decrease the accuracy of the regional climate models. To overcome this deficiency, usually a statistical technique of MOS is used to improve the skill of gridded outputs of the Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. In this paper, an experimental synoptic-climatology based method has been used to calibrate, and decrease amount of errors in GFS...
