Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Geo-Information Technology in the Study of Soil and Nutrients Loss by Water Erosion for three Different Land CoverMushtak T. Jabbar, C. A.I. Chong-Fa, Wang Tian-Wei, Shi Zhi-HuaThis research integrated the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and the soil statistical analysis with RS and GIS techniques to quantify soil and nutrient loss risk. The Letianxi watershed, located in the southwest part of Hubei Province of China was taken as a case. A system was established for rating soil erodibility, slope length/gradient, rainfall erosivity and conservation practices. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,790 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Degradation Risk Prediction Integrating RUSLE with Geo-information Techniques, the Case of Northern Shaanxi Province in ChinaMushtak T. Jabbar, Xiaoling ChenThis research integrated the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) with RS, GIS and GPS techniques to quantify soil erosion risk and the northern part of Shaanxi province in China was taken as a case. A system was established for rating soil erodibility, slope length/gradient, rainfall erosivity and conservation practices. The rating values served as inputs into a modified Revised … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,050 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSummarizing Spatial Distribution Density, Movement Patterns and Food Resources to Study the Impacts of Logging and Forest Conversion on Orang-utan PopulationRaymond Alfred, Koh Pei Hue, Lee Shan Khee, Rayner AlfredProblem statement: Orang-utan is classified as a totally protected species and is listed as an endangered species in Borneo. The survival of this species is highly dependent on the existence and quality of the lowland forest of Sabah. However, most of the pristine habitats in the lowland area have been converted into other land use activities such as a large … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,184 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Importance of Maintaining a Proper Database on Forest Restoration Program for Orangutans in BorneoRaymond Alfred, Koh Pei Hue, Lee Shan Khee, Rayner AlfredProblem statement: The lowland forest of Sabah is the most important habitat for orangutans and pygmy elephants. This is shown in the WWF-Malaysia’s elephant tracking programme in which satellite-based Global Position System (GPS) collar devices are used to monitor their movement and the range of their habitats, as well as an aerial survey on orangutan’s nest is performed to determine … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,910 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Use of Band Selection in Weighted Linear Prediction for Hyperspectral Image ClassificationIbtissam Banit'ouagua, Mounir Ait Kerroum, Ahmed HammouchThe advancement of imaging procedures has made hyperspectral sensors fit for acquiring spectral data in many restricted and bordering bands, which brings about a high relationship between's neighboring bands and high information excess. It is important to decrease these bands previously advance analysis utilizing land cover classification and target location. Going for the classification undertaking, this paper displays another weighted … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 8 · 4 Sep 2018 · 8,262 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordHEAT INTENSITY OF URBAN BUILT ENVIRONMENT IN HOT HUMID CLIMATE REGIONBeta Paramita, Hiroatsu FukudaLarge numbers of inhabitants in a dense area require land coverage for sheltering purposes. The anthropogenic heat emission potentially reduces ventilation of urban areas and significantly brings changes in air temperature. This study is aimed at finding the correlations between urban form and the alteration of urban microclimate in different land-uses. This study has been carried out in Bandung, Indonesia, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 16 Apr 2014 · 7,812 accessesView PDF Cite
