Soil erosion and sedimentation processes can be considered as serious eco-environmentalproblems. This study aimed to estimate the basin-wide erosion using the Revised UniversalSoil Loss Equation (RUSLE). The soil erosion parameters included rainfall erosivity mapgenerated from the rainfall data, soil erodibility extracted from the soil map, land cover andmanagement map produced from supervised ...

In 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) recognized mycetoma as one of the neglected tropical conditions due to the efforts of the mycetoma consortium. This same consortium formulated knowledge gaps that require further research. One of these gaps was that very few data are available on the epidemiology and transmission cycle of the causative agents. Previous work suggested a soil-borne or ...

Multi temporal aerial photography and airborne hyper spectral imagery have been integrated for the detection and monitoring of coal mining subsidence hazards. Digital elevation models derived from successive epochs of aerial photography provide estimates of topographic change which may be indicative of the collapse of abandoned underground mine workings in the study area. Ground disturbed by su...

Mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis (Map), the causative agent of Johne's disease, has a robust ability to survive in the environment. However, the ability of Map to migrate through soil to drainage tiles or ground water, leave the farm, and leak into local watersheds is inadequately documented. In order to assess the ability of Map to leach through soil, two laboratory experiments were ...

today, extensive improvements in fields of soil mapping have increased the purity and accuracy ofsoil maps. usual mapping methods moreover depend on skills and experience of surveyor inidentifying and delineating the boundaries, also need the high cost and time consuming that face thesoil mapping with restrictions. in this study, aerial photographs with 1/40000 scale were used in orderto prepar...
