Spatial distribution of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) status is necessary for enhancing crop and soil productivity. In this study, samples were collected from Koppal Yadgir taluks (Northern dry zone Northeastern zone) Karnataka at 320 m grid interval 0–15 cm depth assessed organic carbon map was prepared under GIS using Arc 10.4 Geowizard Kriging method. The results the study showed that, SOC mediu...

BACKGROUND An extensive West Nile virus surveillance program of dead birds, mosquitoes, horses, and human infection has been launched as a result of West Nile virus first being reported in Canada in 2001. Some desktop and web GIS have been applied to West Nile virus dead bird surveillance. There have been urgent needs for a comprehensive GIS services and real-time surveillance. RESULTS A pilo...

A major limitation in the use of transportation models is the difficulty of obtaining adequate data for them. Geographical information systems are a means of addressing this need. A geographical information system (GIS) is a “computerized database management system for the capture, storage, retrieval, analysis, and display of spatial (i.e., vocationally defined) data.’” GIST is the adoption and...

two models are commonly made use to explain the behavior of insurance industries, namely: risk-pooling and the risk-absorbing models. neither of the two models provides an acceptable definition of insurance output in the economies experiencing high inflation rate. to address the deficiencies of the present models, an alternative was proposed in the current study as based on the theory of in...

In this paper, an approach to assessing ecological suitability of crop growth was developed using GIS, through a case study of maize planting in Jilin Province, in the northeast China, in order to improve the accuracy and objectivity of the evaluation, promote the rationality of crop distribution, and increase the efficiency of the agro-resource utility. Climate and soil conditions in the regio...

This paper presents a parsimonious framework to evaluate factors of GIS project implementation. The High Performance Equation proposed by Schermerhorn (Management for Productivity, Wiley, New York, 1984) is used to encapsulate the nature of ‘ability’, ‘effort’ and ‘support’ in successful implementation. This model is explained and its components elaborated. The model is then illustrated through...

the performance of a supply chain can be evaluated in either a cross-sectional or a time series manner, and data envelopment analysis is a useful method for both types of evaluation. in this paper we develop an index and indicator of productivity change that can be used with radial and non-radial models for supply chain malmquist index. the supply chain malmquist productivity index (scmpi) can ...
