Urban sprawl (US), propelled by rapid population growth leads to the shrinkage of productive agricultural lands and pristine forests in the suburban areas and, in turn, adversely affects the provision of ecosystem services. The quantification of US is thus crucial for effective urban planning and environmental management. Like many megacities in fast growing developing countries, Chennai, the c...

Aerosol retrievals from multiple spaceborne sensors, including MODIS (on Terra and Aqua), MISR, OMI, POLDER, CALIOP, and SeaWiFS – altogether, a total of 11 different aerosol products – were comparatively analyzed using data collocated with ground-based aerosol observations from the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) stations within the Multi-sensor Aerosol Products Sampling System (MAPSS, http:...

Abstract Pteridophytes reproduce by producing vast numbers of spores that may be dispersed over considerable distances, helping the plants colonise new areas. Being resistant to desiccation, fern can often survive for many years as spore banks in soil. After disturbance, such germinate and subsequently area. These factors help pteridophytes become primary colonisers on barren land, volcanic isl...

Abstract The systems of trickle irrigation offer the potential influential to increase crop yields and have been proven reasonable according engineering agricultural opinion particularly in barren areas. Trickle that offered comparatively lately Arab countries demonstrated save huge amounts water enhance yield. computational program (Trickle Irrigation System Design, TISD) connected with econom...

The Present Study was undertaken to assess Depth Wise Studies of Physico-Chemical Properties Soil under Different Land Use System main campus university at Acharya Narendra Deva University Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) during 2018-2019.
 samples were collected RWCS (Rice-Wheat cropping system), LBCS (Legume based VBCS (Vegetable System).The land use systems selected...

compost is one of the strategies of house hold solid wastes management that is used to decrease the volume and weight of wastes, odor and leach ate dispersion, resource recycles and decreasing disposal expenses. in order to observe environmental regulations in the frame of adaptation development projects with environmental concerns, assessment of environmental impact of composting plants has be...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to explain the role transition process to nurse case managers (NCMs) for Medical-aid beneficiaries in Korea. METHODS Fourteen NCMs were interviewed regarding their experiences of becoming proficient in the new role of case manger. Data were analyzed through the application of grounded theory. RESULTS 'Taking root in a barren land' was the core category ...

Variational quantum algorithms are augmented by an additional subroutine that efficiently detects signatures of barren plateaus -- unfavorable parameter regions prevent optimization due to vanishing gradients.

Soil erosion is a global environmental and economic problem that significantly related to land-use changes. Over the last decades, several mountain areas in Serbia were exposed strong human pressure caused by winter tourism development. The largest ski center situated on Kopaonik Mountain within boundaries of National Park, where conflict between conservation goals rapidly growing. In this stud...

An approach is proposed in the present study to estimate soil erosion data-scarce Kokcha subbasin Afghanistan. The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model used erosion. satellite-based data are obtain RUSLE factors. results show that slight (71.34%) and moderate (25.46%) dominated basin. In contrast, high (0.01%) insignificant area. highest amount of observed Rangeland (52.2%) follow...
