Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titlePredict Location(s) of Apis dorsata Nesting Sites Using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System in Melaleuca ForestiM. M. Saberioon, M. Mardan, L. Nordin et al.Problem statement: The Asiatic Giant honeybees (Apis dorsata) are seasonally abounded throughout the upland and lowland rainforests in South East Asia. The colonies of A. dorsata are found to nest in aggregates on tall bee trees (tree emergent) in the open, as well as, nesting singly in concealed locations when nesting low, especially in the submerged forest of Melaleuca cajuputi … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,603 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleIntegrating Gene Expression Programming and Geographic Information Systems for Solving a Multi Site Land Use Allocation ProblemKhalid A. EldrandalyProblem statement: Land use planning may be defined as the process of allocating different activities or uses to specific units of area within a region. Multi sites Land Use Allocation Problems (MLUA) refer to the problem of allocating more than one land use type in an area. MLUA problem is one of the truly NP Complete (combinatorial optimization) problems. Approach: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,849 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGeo-Spatial Technologies for Carbon Sequestration Monitoring and ManagementV. Jeyanny, S. K. Balasundram, M. H.A. HusniProblem statement: Globally, the quantification of Carbon Sequestration (CS) potential of various ecosystems was a challenge. There was an urgent need for technologies that can quantify CS potential cost-efficiently in a repeated and organized manner. Approach: Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) had great potential in current estimation, future prediction and management of carbon sequestration potential in terrestrial … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 3 Nov 2011 · 8,633 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessing the Environmental Impacts of Urban Growth Using Land Use/Land Cover, Water Quality and Health Indicators: A Case Study of Arequipa, PeruOswaldo Villena Carpio, Brian D. FathProblem statement: This research assesses the direct effects of urban expansion on land cover/use, river flow, water quality and the indirect effects of these variables in the rate of gastrointestinal disease in people in Arequipa, Peru through the combined use of satellite remote sensing and geographic information systems. Approach: It also uses information about demographic changes, hydrologic data and land … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 8,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsWeight of Evidence Allocates Mineral Depositional ZonesAbdullah A. Bokhari, Guang Dao HU, Rani FouadProblem statement: Yunnan province in general and Pulang area in particular is geological rich area which prevents field study in multi locations due to high risk outcrop. Approach: New technology such as Geographic Information System (GIS) and an ArcView extension module Arcweight of evidence (WofE) became very handy to provide safety for researchers and allow organization to control their budget. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 6,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluating the Implementation and Effectiveness of GIS-Based Application in Secondary School Geography LessonsAli DemirciThe purpose of the study was to investigate the barriers preventing the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in secondary school geography lessons and to determine its effectiveness on students’ success. A workshop focusing on ways to implement GIS-based application in the classroom for 14 teachers from nine high schools was conducted in 2006. The teachers were given GIS software, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,110 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Effects of the Degree of Soil Salinity and the Bio preparation on Productivity of Maize in the Shaulder Irrigated MassifMaksat Nurbaiuly Poshanov, Shakhislam Uzakbaevich Laiskhanov, Zhassulan Maratovich Smanov et al.During the study on the Shaulder irrigated massif, the soil salinity maps with different degrees of salinity were compiled at the large-scale 1:10000 in the GIS environment. It was found that the area of saline soils increases with depth. In the upper 0-20 cm layer, 29% is salted and in the 50-100 cm layer, up to 44% is salted. The … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2022 · 6,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGIS-Based Optimal Site Selection for Installation of Large-Scale Smart Grid-Connected Photovoltaic (PV) Power Plants in Selangor, MalaysiaSabo Mahmoud Lurwan, Mohammed Oludare Idrees, Goma Bedawi Ahmed et al.This study presents a GIS-based model to identify optimal sites to install large-scale smart grid-connected Photovoltaic (PV) power plants. Input datasets include digital elevation model, road networks, grid lines and daily average solar radiation. Using multi-criteria decision-making approach, we set constraining conditions for slope, proximity to the road, proximity to grid lines, solar radiation and land use to optimize the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2017 · 8,783 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIntegrated Modeling Framework for Highway Traffic Pollution Estimation and DispersionShu Yang, Yao-Jan Wu, John WoolschlagerAir quality is of great concern to the public. Airborne pollutants, such as carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and Particulate Matter (PM), negatively impact people’s living conditions. In particular, vehicular exhaust is a major source of these pollutants. Extensive previous research has contributed to modeling traffic pollutant emission. Popular approaches include computational simulation-based methods, which have been dominant in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 13 May 2016 · 7,434 accessesView PDFCite
