Marine and Coastal Resources
(2013)
Marine habitats are comprised of zones termed coastal terrestrial, open water, and the ocean bottom until several meters deep. Besides fish, these habitats are home to diverse flora and fauna, with swathes of sandy beaches ...
GIS Database
(2013)
Once digitized and edited GIS data are stored in a spatial database. Evidently, the quality of the decisions made from a GIS will depend on the quality of the data contained in the database. A spatial database is defined ...
Fundamentals of Surveying and Geodesy
(2013)
Although the environment has remained at the forefront of scientific interest for well over four decades (e.g., Lein (2012)), it is not until this decade that remote sensing of the environment using geodetic methods started ...
Modernization of GNSS
(2013)
Throughout history, position (location) determination has been one of the fundamental tasks undertaken by humans on a daily basis. Each day, one deals with positioning, be it going to work, the market, sport, church, mosque, ...
Disaster Monitoring and Management
(2013)
Since time immemorial, natural disasters have continued to plague the history of mankind. They have varied in type, frequency, coverage and severity ranging from earthquakes, landslides, droughts, floods, tornadoes, ...
Fundamentals of GIS

The government of Kenya initiated a number of building construction projects so as to provide building facilities required
for provision of basic services. However, most of these building projects were stalled at different ...
A comparison between experimental measurements and Monte Carlo simulation of neutron flux distribution within an Am-Be Howitzer
(2013-08-01)
The spatial thermal and fast neutron flux distributions within the cavity of a 370 GBq Am-Be neutron source-based howitzer were determined experimentally by foil activation and computationally by Monte Carlo method. A ...
