The risks of developing mineral resources need to be known as accurately as possible. This process should start at the exploration stage and continue through feasibility to the development stage. Until recently, this type of analysis was carried out manually, leading to subjective judgments. Many mining companies have built up extensive exploration geological databases, which represent signific...

In the southeast United States, a field of peanuts, Arachis hypogaea L., is often closely associated with a field of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L. The objective of this 4-yr on-farm study was to examine and compare the spatiotemporal patterns and dispersal of the southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula L., and the brown stink bug, Euschistus servus (Say), in six of these peanut-cotton farmsca...

Desktop software applications, such as ArcGIS and QGIS , provide GIS tools for conducting suitability analysis, a fundamental step in formulating land-use plan. When building complex models with these there are several limitations, including operating system (OS) dependency, lack of dedicated modules, less efficient model process, difficult, if not impossible, deployment on computing cluster. I...

The land-use regulatory framework in Turkey is composed of several hierarchical plans. Environmental Regulation Plan pursues comprehensive planning management, which ranges between 1/100,000 and 1/25,000 defines the for local master Unfortunately, there scarce knowledge how these plans effectively protect environment. Besides, have poor consideration socio-economic dynamics ecosystem vulnerabil...

As climate change impacts are getting more destructive over time, defining the appropriate adaptation strategy becomes an important issue for many vulnerable cities. Urban green infrastructure or (UGI) can present efficient in this field. Planning such at city scale, requires definition of priority locations to have a vital solution. Based on that, research aims define streets employ new UGI as...

Under the second phase of National Oil Palm Project, Government Uganda plans to extend oil palm project Northern Uganda. According Final Project Design Report (2017) and based on rainfall, soil temperature region, areas in have already been mapped for project. However, no detailed information degree suitability has provided. In this research, other parameters such as land cover, elevation slope...

Aim Mounting global pressure on bird populations from invasive predators and habitat loss has driven a rapid growth in restoration conservation action around the world, yet efficacy of such actions is still not well understood. We investigated relative interactive effects predator control fragmentation abundance native birds mammalian forest fragments. Location Waikato region, New Zealand. Meth...

Fire is a critical tool for managing rangeland ecosystems; however, the increasing wildfire occurrence poses considerable danger to ecosystem continuity. Predicting fire and mapping in highly flammable rangelands. To identify potential remotely sensed variables prediction, this study employed Random Forest (RF) classifier using selected environmental assess their possible use prediction Kgalaga...

Abstract Background Anaplasmosis is a vector-borne disease spread by Ixodes scapularis ticks mainly in the Northeastern United States. The Connecticut Department of Public Health (CT DPH) made anaplasmosis state-wide reportable 2008 and large increase cases was seen between 2014 2019. Methods This study used clinical reported to CT DPH tick infection prevalence data understand emerging geograph...
