Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCreating a Geographical Information Systems-based Spatial Profile for Exploring Health Services Supply and DemandAbdulkader A. MuradProblem statement: GIS has several techniques and functions that can be used for health services planning. Each one of these functions can be applied for different health related issues. Approach: The first part of this study reviews the relevant GIS functions that are used by health care planning researches and identifies the advantages of using these functions. The second part … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 6,872 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Temperature and Precipitation on Global Mangrove Rhizophora Species DistributionAroloye O. Numbere, Gerardo R. CamiloClimate change influences the distribution of mangroves towards tropical or temperate regions of the world. We hypothesized that Rhizophora species organized along complex spatial and temporal temperature and precipitation gradient. To determine the affinity of different mangroves with climatic parameters, the response of eight Rhizophora species to seven climatic parameters (i.e., annual mean temperature, annual precipitation, maximum temperature of warmest … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 5 Oct 2017 · 8,259 accessesView PDF Cite

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 abstractProduction of a New Model for Evaluation of Iran Ecological Capabilities in Order to Establish Services and Civil Development ApplicationJ. Nouri, S. A. JoziThis study is aimed to design a new model for service and civil development application in order to be used in evaluation of Iran ecological capability studies. For this purpose in the first step, the frequency of sustainable and unsustainable ecological factors in Iran was known. In the next step, the Delphi method was used which is itself a branch … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 6,513 accessesView PDF Cite
