A Remote Rangeland Analysis System

Rangeland Monitoring Using Remote Sensing

Land cover land use mapping and change detection analysis using geographic information system and remote sensing

Land cover/land use categories are relevant components in land management. Understanding how land cover/land use change over time is necessary to assess the consequences of humans and natural stressors on the earth’s environment and resources. The aim of the study was to map and monitor the spatial and temporal change in land cover/land use for the periods of 1977, 1991 and 2016 and to predict ...

A Multiple-Paradigm System for Rangeland Pest Management

Polycultural agroecosystems, such as rangelands, are too complex and poorly understood to permit precise numerical simulation. Management decisions that depend on behavioral predictions of such ecosystems therefore require a variety of knowledge sources and reasoning techniques. Our approach to designing a computer system that provides advice concerning such ecosystems is to incorporate various...

Optimal Energy Management and Feasibility Study of a Hybrid Energy System for a Remote Area

This paper investigates impacts of possible chances in energy policy and consumption behavior on optimal energy management and feasibility study of a hybrid energy system. The study was performed on a remote area near Esfarjan, a village located in Shahreza, Iran. In the main scenario, the current energy policy is applied while the consumption behavior of customers is studied by means of an inc...

Confidentialising Survival Analysis Output in a Remote Data Access System

A high level discussion of the problem of enabling the use of sensitive data while protecting privacy and confidentiality typically introduces two broad categories of method, which are often used in combination. The first is restricted access, where access is only provided to approved individuals for approved analyses, possibly at a restricted data centre, and possibly with further measures suc...
