capabilities of MASINT, the DoD issued DoD instruction 5105.58 in 1993. This guidance put DIAs National MASINT Management Office (NMMO) at the forefront of MASINT prioritization, tasking, policy and guidance (Lynn, 2012). Furthermore, the National-Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) was given the responsibility for both radar and electro-optical intelligence disciplines. This leaves the remaining four disciplines of MASINT for DIA. This being said, "While NGA and DIA provide policy and…

Crop simulation model is an effective tools in understanding climate change effects on agricultural production systems (Masutomi et al. 2009; White et al. 2011). The modeling studies from Bangladesh (Karim et al. 1996), Japan (Horie et al. 2000), China (Shen et al. 2010), Korea (Lee et al. 2012) and India (Krishnan et al. 2007) reported the country-specific discrepancies in future rice yield due to climate warming; the highest decrease in rice yield will probably occur in most areas of low…

Perception and expectation of citizens is an important factor in urban planning, settlement and management. Hence, there is a need of a participatory citizen centric planning of urban settlement based on spatial data. These perception and expectation may be represented in terms of emotions. Determining Urban Emotions is an approach which can be used to map different types of emotions associated with urbanization. In the recent years, some new methods have been presented for the area of urban and…

The major theme of Section one, Units one and two, articles 1-15, in Geography by Gerald R. Pitzl, is how the discipline of Geography is so widely-themed, with the examples of the destruction of rainforests, desertification, and pollution featured in Unit two. Before studying this book, I never thought of pollution or how humans can damage our global environment being a topic a Geographer studied. I thought that Geography was based on maps and the land. The importance of humans and the way we…

land use (A. O. Waananen);and as Berkea & Gavin Smith (2009) argued: ‘’Land use planning provides an important means to achieve mitigation by influencing human settlement patterns as its analytical tools and policy recommendations are inherently geospatial in nature affecting the location, type and density of development’’. (Berkea and Smith 2009; p2) However, in case of ambiguous risk ,as illustrated in figure 8, it must be conducted through a consensus-building process involved citizens,…

The Beginning of the End of Terrorism: Is It Justified? In the most recent years, a rise in terrorism globally has invoked a string of United States military actions in response.

There are numerous actions taken by the United States military that were, and…
