The biodiversity has been particularly investigated in the context of designing efficient programs of monitoring biodiversity and setting out conservation priorities The Global Biodiversity Assessment recommends that such assessment requires a detailed knowledge of species distribution in particular landscapes....

The author has done a case study of Kathmandu city capital of Nepal. Kathmandu\"\"s population is close to three million and has one of the largest urban population densities in the world....

Remote sensing data have been used to monitor land use changes; this has an important role in urban and rural development and the determination of natural resources. Also, remote sensing is very useful for the production of land use and land cover statistics which can be useful to determine the distribution of land uses in the watershed....

With the rapidly growing demands in robotic applications, there is an importance of developing customized manipulators for serving various operations in different workspaces....

Open Source Hardware:An Introductory Approach covers many aspects of preliminary thoughts on Open Source Hardware. This book is unique of its own kind to present concepts, evolution, and futuristic exploration in the areas of newly emerging freedom on computer hardwares....

This book is an expression of the myriad ways in which the range of Remote Sensing and GIS techniques can be applied to the mapping of glaciers. Glaciers are characterized by the variability of different types of snow and ice deposited in accumulation and ablation areas....

An unbiased estimate is obtained from a sample survey for a large area; when this estimate is used to derive estimates for sub areas on the assumption that the small areas have the same characteristics as larger area, we identify these estimates as synthetic estimators”....

This book has written with the objectives of providing a coherent picture of the land degradation, land use/land cover changes and its monitoring. This book elaborates things related to Remote sensing, GIS and their applications in Environmental Sciences. Book contains all the methods which is important to analyse land degradation....

Orthodontic anchorage is defined as resistance to unwanted tooth movement. During orthodontic treatment the teeth are exposed to forces and moments, and these acting forces always generate reciprocal forces of the same magnitude but opposite in direction....

The term jaw expansion refers to \\\"widening\\\" of the back teeth. In general, the upper set of teeth should fit around (outside) the lower set of teeth. As such, the upper jaw should be \\\"wider\\\" than the lower jaw. The upper jaw is usually the one undergoing expansion. Expanders can be fixed or removable....
