The use of organic farming in the Thar desert region (great Indian desert) is extremely low due to humidity and high temperatures across India. As a result, area faces significant challenges agricultural production meeting demand for high-quality food. Thus, community this needs expand meet required demands. Geospatial technologies are capable recommending suitable areas regions and, specifical...

Sulfoquinovose (SQ, 6-deoxy-6-sulfoglucose) has been known for 50 years as the polar headgroup of the plant sulfolipid (Benson 1963, Benning 2007) in the photosynthetic membranes of all higher plants, mosses, ferns, algae, and most photosynthetic bacteria (Benning 1998). It is also found in some non-photosynthetic bacteria (Harwood and Nicholls 1979), and SQ is part of the surface layer of some...

We derive general bounds on the complexity of learning in the Statistical Query model and in the PAC model with classification noise. We do so by considering the problem of boosting the accuracy of weak learning algorithms which fall within the Statistical Query model. This new model was introduced by Kearns [12] to provide a general framework for efficient PAC learning in the presence of class...

INTRODUCTION Parks are an integral part of a favorable built environment, and several studies have found a positive association between a favorable built environment and physical activity. Parks data are available to researchers from various sources; however, the accuracy of data sources in representing parks is unknown. This study compared secondary parks data obtained from a commercial vendor...

The demand for 3D city-scale models has been significantly increased due to the proliferation of urban planning, city navigation, and virtual reality applications. We present an approach to automatically reconstruct buildings densely spanning a large urban area. Our method takes as input calibrated aerial images and available GIS meta-data. Our computational pipeline computes a per-building 2.5...

The ALERT Leprosy Control Department is responsible for leprosy control in Shoa Administrative Region (Figure 1 ) . This region is centrally located in Ethiopia; it covers an area of about 8 5 ,000 sq km, with a population of 8 ·75 million. The region is divided into one urban and 1 1 rural districts . Leprosy diagnostic and treatment services are given in 292 centres, 1 76 (60 %) are attached ...

tinues to foster immense interest in their design and synthesis. DHPs are produced primarily from sugar in vitro. Predictably, the formation of DHPs in vitro also occurs in vivo under non-enzymatic or enzymatic conditions. A number of pyrazine derivatives which are readily created from the DHP ring structure via oxidation have been detected in human urine and foods. Thus, it is thought that DHP...

Tsetse flies (Glossina sp.) infest over 11 million sq km of Africa, and are vectors of Trypanosomosis (or Trypanosomiasis) in both man and domestic livestock. For example, it is estimated that tsetse occur over 7% of Zimbabwe and 60% of Tanzania and Trypanosomosis has an important negative impact on livestock production in these areas. In addition to the use of trypanocidal drugs, control, of T...
