Juniper Publishers - Landslide Hazard Analysis by Using Arc GIS and Google Earth: A Case Study of Province 5, Nepal

Image
  Juniper Publishers- Trends in Technical & Scientific Research Abstract Province 5 of Nepal is one of the vulnerable province to natural and human induced disasters like landslides. This research was objectively carried out to estimate the number and area of the landslide and find out the district, municipality and rural municipality wise spatial distribution of landslides in the study area. The visible scars of landslides were located and outlined in Google Earth™ and further analyzed in ArcGIS 10.3. Altogether, 701 landslides were found in 12 districts with total area coverage of 1940.17 ha. The largest area cover of landslide was found in Dang district with 326.99 ha and the lowest area cover of landslide of 8.63 ha was calculated in Rupandehi district. The highest occurrence 44 landslides occurred in Naubahini Rural Municipality of Pyuthan district followed by Sandhikharka municipality of Arghakhanchi district and Ghorahi sub-metropolitan city of Dang distric...

Juniper Publishers - New Source of Financing and Assessment of Efficiency of Nature Protection Activity

  Juniper Publishers- Trends in Technical & Scientific Research Short Communication Environmental activities are characterized by high risk, capital intensity, non-commercial nature and longer payback period, which require improvement of information and analytical management tools. Environmental activity is a set of specialized engineering, technological, control, analytical, production, economic and management operations that form an independent process of creating the ecological utility of a commercial product. There are non-traditional for modern practice factors which have simultaneously stimulating and retarding influence: territory, assimilation potential, market of best technologies, urbanization, global natural processes, business and investment climate, social and economic globalization, public administration and internal corporate resources [1]. The main fundamental principles of environmental management are the principle of legality and civil respons...

Juniper Publishers: Olive (Olea europaea L.) of Jerusalem in Palestine

Image
       Juniper Publishers- Trends in Technical & Scientific Research Abstract The olive (Olea europaea L., Oleaceae) is the most important fruit tree found before more than 6000 years, which contributes to the increase of the agricultural national product in Palestine, and therefore plays a role in increasing the Palestinian economy. Methodology, we analyzed data on environmental factors of Jerusalem (East Jerusalem), including climate and bioclimate, using the bioclimate classification for the earth of Salvador Rivas Martinez during study period 1993-2012, which we obtained from the Palestinian Meteorological Station and the same period of olive production (rainfed) from the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics. Result and discussion, when we used a correspondence analysis (CA), observed that Jerusalem affected negatively by bioclimate factors as annual ombrothermicindex and simple continentality index during the years (1993-1997), whilst, the ...

Juniper Publishers: Identification of Entrepreneurial Opportunities in Manufacturing for Bachelor Degree Holding Engineers

Image
Juniper Publishers- Trends in Technical & Scientific Research Abstract Advanced technologies require less purely manual workers and proportionately more with higher education level. Bachelor’s degree holding engineers are able to fill this requirement and establish new, innovative and technologically advanced enterprises. But there is no methodology for the ‘Identification of entrepreneurial opportunity’ which is the genesis of building an innovative enterprise. This paper proposes ‘Trigger’ as a methodology to identify entrepreneurial opportunities. It describes the background literature that formed the basis for the ‘Trigger’ methodology and provides a case study where a group of senior mechanical engineering undergraduates used ‘Trigger’ to identify the opportunity for a smart water jet service workshop called ‘Pilot water jet services for Smart Manufacturing’. The paper concludes that ‘Trigger’ is a correct step in the right direction. Keywords: Entrepreneurial op...
