Understanding Effects of Institutional Partnerships on Rural Groups in Improving Livelihoods in Kenya
Published on January 16, 2006
The purpose of this study was to explore the extent to which social capital accessed through group participation contribute to better household economic welfare and adoption of improved natural resource management practices. A focus on groups and ... -
Impact of Climate Information on Reducing Farm Risk by Optimizing Crop Insurance Strategy
Published on January 16, 2006
Predictability of seasonal climate variability associated with the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) suggests a potential to reduce farm risk by selecting crop insurance products with the purpose of increasing farm income stability. A hypothetical ... -
The Functional Value of Caribbean Coral Reef, Seagrass and Mangrove Habitats to Ecosystem Processes
Published on January 16, 2006
Caribbean coral reef habitats, seagrass beds and mangroves provide important goods and services both individually and through functional linkages. A range of anthropogenic factors are threatening the ecological and economic importance of these hab... -
Demography and Environment in Grassland Settlement: Using Linked Longitudinal and Cross-Sectional Data to Explore Household/Agricultural Systems
Published on January 16, 2006
The Demography and Environment in Grassland Settlement project (DEGS) is a study of the relationship between population and environment in Kansas during its settlement and conversion from grassland to grain cultivation and rangeland. The research ... -
High-angle Wave Instability and Emergent Shoreline Shapes: 2. Wave Climate Analysis and Comparisons to Nature
Published on January 16, 2006
Recent research has revealed that the plan view evolution of a coast due to gradients in alongshore sediment transport is highly dependant upon the angles at which waves approach the shore, giving rise to an instability in shoreline shape that can ge... -

Livelihood strategies in the Rural Kenyan Highlands
Published on January 16, 2006
The concept of a livelihood strategy has become central to development practice in recent years. Nonetheless, precise identification of livelihoods in quantitative data has remained methodologically elusive. This paper uses cluster analysis method... -
How does Underlying Geology Affect Coastline Change? An Initial Modeling Investigation
Published on January 16, 2006
Conceptual geologic framework models predict that areas of the coast underlain by a weak or very fine grained lithology retreat landward faster than adjacent, more resistant or coarser-grained segments. These apparently commonsense predictions seem i... -
Welfare Dynamics in Rural Kenya and Madagascar
Published on January 16, 2006
This paper presents comparative qualitative and quantitative evidence from rural Kenya and Madagascar in an attempt to untangle the causality behind persistent poverty. We find striking differences in welfare dynamics depending on whether one uses to... -
Using Correlation Coefficient In Ecg Waveform For Arrhythmia Detection
Published on June 25, 2005
Arrhythmia, is one kind of diseases that gives rise to the death and possibly forms the immedicable danger. The most common cardiac arrhythmia is the ventricular premature beat. The main purpose of this study is to develop an efficient arrhythmia det... -
How Different Reforestation Approaches Affect Red Soil Properties in Southern China
Published on March 4, 2005
Significant differences were found in soil physicochemical and biological effects between various forest restoration approaches of a hilly red-soil region, southern China. Soil quality was the highest in natural secondary forest (095), while in site... -
Effects of regenerating forest cover on soil microbial communities: A case study in hilly red soil region, Southern China
Published on March 4, 2005
The stability and function of a soil ecosystem depends on the cycling of nutrients by the soil microbial community. To evaluate the effects of regenerating forest cover on the function of microbial community, the differences of four forest restoratio... -
Using the Spatial and Spectral Precision of Satellite Imagery to Predict Wildlife Occurrence Patterns
Published on March 1, 2005
We investigated the potential of using unclassified spectral data for predicting the distribution of three bird species over a region of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula using Landsat imagery and locations sampled for birds through point count surveys. -
