The Hooded Crane (Grus monacha) is a globally vulnerable species, and habitat loss is the primary cause of its decline. To date, little is known regarding the specific habitat needs, and stopover habitat selection in particular, of the Hooded Crane. In this study we used stochastic gradient boosting (TreeNet) to develop three specific habitat selection models for roosting, daytime resting, and ...

VANET (Vehicular adhoc network) this provide intelligent service to the real time road information by using navigation service. Service support is required to reach specific destination. The RSU (road side unit) is use to find best route and also source information can be authenticated using real-time road information. Security services provide protection to driver and support to query of drive...

Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) are in decline across western North America. Identifi cation of management strategies to enhance populations, such as predator management, may be needed to reduce further declines, but unintentional eff ects associated with increased human activity should also be considered. We evaluated the eff ect of 3 levels of predator management eff ort on gr...

We propose a new approach for vision based longitudinal and lateral vehicle control which makes extensive use of binocular stereopsis. Longitudinal control i.e. maintaining a safe, constant distance from the vehicle in front is supported by detecting and measuring the distances to leading vehicles using binocular stereo. A known camera geometry with respect to the locally planar road is used to...

This work provides a practical method for the development of rural road networks in rural areas of developing countries. The proposed methodology enables to determine obligatory points in the rural road network maximizing the number of settlements that have access to basic services within a given maximum distance. The proposed methodology is simple and practical, hence, highly applicable to rea...

This paper describes a navigation method based on road detection using both a laser scanner and a vision sensor. The method is to classify the surface in front of the robot into traversable segments (road) and obstacles using the laser scanner, this classifies the area just in front of the robot (2.5m). The front looking camera is used to classify the road from this distance and forward, taking...

â â â  in the last years, have been accelerated increased the damages of landslides by natural and anthropogenic factors. one of the main solutions to decrease landslide hazards is avoid from prone areas. for this purpose, it is necessary to prepare the landslide susceptibility map. in this research, after field studies in the ilam dam basin, nine factors including slope gradient, aspect, eleva...

PURPOSE This study evaluated the relationship of living near to main roads to allergic diseases, airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), allergic sensitization, and lung function in Korean children. METHODS A total of 5,443 children aged 6-14 years from 33 elementary schools in 10 cities during 2005-2006 were included in a baseline survey of the Children's Health and Environmental Research. We asse...
