for the successful tree establishment, an evaluation of land suitability is necessary.in this paper, we demonstrate how to implement fuzzy classification of land suitability in agis environment for afforestation with juglans regia in gharnaveh watershed of golestanprovince in iran. juglans regia is one of the most important agro-forestry species in manyrural parts of iran. relevant criteria for...

in recent decades, necessity to protect environment has been a serious concern for all people and international communities. in appropriate development of human economic activities, subsistence dependence of the growing world population on nature decreases the natural diversity of ecosystems and habitats day by day and provides additional constraints for life and survival of wildlife. as a resu...

In the late 1980s and 1990s, the rise in the need for increasingly sophisticated security in information systems led to the creation of standards such as TCSEC, ITSEC and CTCPEC to aid in the assessment of security products for their suitability in the protection of national security. These standards have evolved into the Common Criteria: a set of fundamental principles with a basis in best pra...

This paper describes an approach to incorporating environmental risk evaluation criteria within IMO’s guidelines for Formal Safety Assessment (FSA). Such criteria are currently absent from FSA, and the discussion to include them has just started. Said criteria are relevant for evaluating on a cost-benefit basis Risk Control Options (RCOs) for reducing oil spill pollution risk. Oil pollution may...

One of the most important applications of GIS is the display and analysis of data to support the process of environmental decision-making. A decision can be defined as a choice between alternatives, where the alternatives may be different actions, locations, objects, and the like. For example, one might need to choose which is the best location for a hazardous waste facility, or perhaps identif...

prior to the implementation of co2 injection eor projects, the screening evaluation of candidate reservoirs will promote the economic benefits of co2 injection. currently, a uniform screening method for co2 miscible flooding does not exist. based on more than 112 successfully implemented co2 miscible flooding reservoirs, which was referred in 2010 worldwide eor survey, and co2 miscible flooding...

In light of the NSF’s commitment to measuring performance and results, there was strong support for undertaking a proper evaluation of the PFI program. The preceding chapters reported on a number of specific outcome measures and process measures (signposts) that were suggested to assess program performance; we now turn to some of the broader principles that were articulated (or could be inferre...

In this work, we determined the measure to compare and evaluate the performance of lip detection techniques. Despite of a number of methods used for lip-detecction/localization, a reliable method for comparing and determining the quality of the result is still missing. The proposed criterion ensures the clear and fair way to report the results so that mentioned results can be comparable and mea...
