Most animal habitats are affected by humans. While some species tolerate and even benefit from these changes, others suffer. Understanding when how human-altered landscapes affect behavior, health, reproduction, survival is essential to management in a human-dominated world. Here we use 27 years of data on human-baboon encounters protected, semi-arid ecosystem Kenya to: (i) identify spatial, en...

A new idea of an abandoned object detection system for road traffic surveillance systems based on three-dimensional image information is proposed in this paper to prevent traffic accidents. A novel Binocular Information Reconstruction and Recognition (BIRR) algorithm is presented to implement the new idea. As initial detection, suspected abandoned objects are detected by the proposed static for...

the concept of redevelopment is accompanied by actions and forecasts to improve the quality of the physical-spatial environment inthe cities, that is by the emergence of new facilities and conditions, improving the spatial environment is achieved. this requirement occurs when the coherence, coordination and the performance of the urban area is diminishing and is not responsive to the requiremen...

The objectives of this study were i) to characterize the water and soils under different managements, ii) evaluate sustainability using hypersaline water, iii) assess possible solutions prevent more degradation soil resources. Field laboratory analysis samples eight pedons 128 surface taken from grid in four pre-determined land uses; pistachio orchard abandoned, with furrow irrigation, wheat ma...
