This paper shows how time dependent priorities can be applied to providing service assurance in a call center. The main contribution of this paper is the transfer of several results derived in the field on Proportional Differentiated Services (Internet Quality of Service) to application in the research field of Call Center technology. Further, it addresses some specific aspects of application t...

1. To prepare various thematic layers such as drainage density, lineament density, slope, lithology, geomorphology and landuse/land cover using SOI topographical maps, remote sensing data and GIS. 2. To prioritize the weightages of individual themes and feature score depending upon their suitability to hold groundwater. 3. To prepare the integrated final groundwater potential map (GPM) using th...

Least-cost models are widely used to study the functional connectivity of habitat within a varied landscape matrix. A critical step in the process is identifying resistance values for each land cover based upon the facilitating or impeding impact on species movement. Ideally resistance values would be parameterised with empirical data, but due to a shortage of such information, expert-opinion i...

A habitat-change model was used to compare past, present, and future land cover and management practices to assess potential impacts of alternative agricultural practices on wildlife in two agricultural watersheds, Walnut Creek and Buck Creek, in central Iowa, USA. This approach required a habitat map for each scenario based on soil type and land cover, a list of resident species, and an estima...

Air pollution directional risk (APDR) is an essential factor to be assessed when selecting an appropriate landfill site. Because air pollutants generated from a landfill are diffused and transported by wind in different directions and speeds, areas surrounding the landfill will be subject to different associated risks, depending on their relative position from the landfill. This study assesses ...

The problem of environmental pollution and health hazards due to inappropriate solid waste disposal is critical in developing countries like Ethiopia, Nekemte town one the Ethiopia facing from lack appropriate dumping site which leads surface ground water environment around area. Therefore, main objective this study selection suitable for using Geographic Information System (GIS) tools. Selecti...
