Our objective was to develop an interactive information and visualization framework for Floridas wetlands. We standardized and integrated 2,130 geo-referenced point observations of 78 different physical, chemical, and biological attributes collected in Florida's wetlands from 1987 to present. A Web-based GIS tool was created with ArcIMS to augment these point observations with other GIS layers ...

A data acquisition software and hardware system was developed for acquiring geo-referenced shock and vibration data using National Instruments' LabView graphical programming language. This was used in conjunction with a modular data acquisition and signal conditioning system and a Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) receiver. A prototype vehicle obstacle course, which introduced spati...

Molenaar, M., 1991. Status and problems of geographical information systems. The necessity of a geoinformation theory. ISPRSJ. Photogramm. Remote Sensing, 46: 85-103. The fact that the field of GIS is very heterogeneous and fragmentary makes it difficult to give a status report on its development. Therefore, it is desirable to structure this field by means of a geo-information theory. The formu...

Pharmacopoeial standards for crude drugs are established based on analysis of authenticated specimens which should be representative of the quality of material traditionally specified in systems of traditional medicine from species’ geographical origin. This reflects the ‘geo-authentic’ material that corresponds to traditional ecological and medical knowledge. In cases where specimens are obtai...

The effluent generated from a thermal power plant waste is a mixture of several chemicals and to identify the effect of these chemicals on soil, a case study on naturally contaminated sites at Al-Musayyib region, Hilla city in Iraq has been carried out. Soil and water samples were collected from the sites and analyzed to identify the pollutants and their effect on soil characteristics. Laborato...

At Ordnance Survey, GB, we have taken an incremental approach to creating our 3D geospatial database. Research at Ordnance Survey has focused not only on methods for deriving 3D data, but also on the needs of the user in terms of the actual tasks they perform. This provides insights into the type and quality of the data required and how its quality is conveyed. In 2007, using task analysis and ...

The use of geo-spatial differentiation in resource economics has become more widespread in recent years, particularly in the urban and real estate literature. However, previous to use in environmental economics, geo-spatial characteristics were used in international trade and theories of industrial concentration (Krugman, 1998). Geographic Information Systems, or GIS, is a database management s...

The work presented in this report was performed within the IMMSAT project, a project carried out during Q2-Q4 2000 by Norsk Regnesentral [21] and Nera SatCom AS [23]. IMMSAT comprised both a theoretical and an empirical study of technical aspects concerning “Internet Protocol based MultiMedia Services over a Satellite Network”. Specifically, the project focussed upon technical aspects involved ...

The genotypic variation on physico-chemical characteristics of wild grown plums (Prunus spinosa L.) was investigated. The total phenolic contents were in a range of 117 to 407 mg GAE/100 g FW. The vitamin C was highest in yellow colored fruits (12.10 mg/100 ml). The total soluble solid content varied between 9.40% (yellow colored) and 12.90% (dark purple colored) fruits.  Antioxidant activity o...
