Information-extraction (IE) systems seek to distill semantic relations from naturallanguage text, but most systems use supervised learning of relation-specific examples and are thus limited by the availability of training data. Open IE systems such as TextRunner, on the other hand, aim to handle the unbounded number of relations found on the Web. But how well can these open systems perform? Thi...

Landslides are a recurrent environmental hazard in hilly regions and affect the socioeconomic development Pakistan. The current study area is tourism hydro energy hub of Pakistan affected by hazard. A landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) Hindu Kush Himalayan, Swat District, Pakistan, can be created to reduce demographic losses due landslides. This conducted apply three bivariate models, inclu...

Accurate assessment of groundwater vulnerability objectively reflects an area’s potential for pollution and provides a reference basis control prevention. The main objective this study was to modify the original DRASTIC model improve consistency results with regard actual conditions area. To optimize objectivity, two additional factors that are influenced by human activities (land use degree ex...

Environmental decision-making is con~plex and often based on multiple lines of evidence. Integrating the infornlation from these multiple lines of evidence is rarely asinlplc process. We present aquantitative approach to the combination of multiple lines of evidence through calculation of weight-of-evidence, with reference conditions used to define a not impaired state. The approach is risk-bas...

This study assessed landslide susceptibility in Shahpur valley, situated the eastern Hindu Kush. Here, landslides are recurrent phenomena that disrupt natural environment, and almost every year, they cause huge property damages human losses. These expected to escalate area due high rate of deforestation region, population growth, agricultural expansion, infrastructural development on slopes. La...
