Multivariate Statistical Analysis Statistical methodology designed to obtain information from data sets that include simultaneous measurements on many variables is called multivariate statistical analysis (1). Multivariate statistics helps to study how the variables are related to one another, and also how they work in combination to differentiate between the cases on which the observations are made. Several research disciplines such as biology, medicine, environmental Science, Psychology, Sociology
Four types of approaches for landslide susceptibility mapping are applied; landslide inventory analysis, heuristic methods, statistical analysis, and process-based or deterministic modeling (Barredo et al., 2000). 2.3.1 Landslide Inventory Analysis A landslide inventory map records the location and, where known, the date of occurrence and the types of mass movements that have left discernible traces in an area (Hansen
partially attributed to a shortage of easily available statistical methods in the past and a lack of awareness on the side of the researchers. In the following sections we will first discuss the properties of various measurement scales and subsequently focus on the continuous rating scale in online surveys in more detail. Sub3 sequently we discuss the problem of outliers and nonsense data in survey research and apply classical and robust factor analysis to our data sample. Finally, we simulate the occurrence
dominance of aggradation processes are responsible for anabranching of Baghmati river. Luchi et al. (2007) investigated small alpine river to monitor morphodynamics of channel. Their study reveals that the longitudinal variations in grain size and slope largely determine the braiding intensity of channel thus it signifluences in channel morphodynamics. Schimitt et al. (2007) analysed morphodynamics typology of upper Rhine river basin based on multivariate statistical analysis. Hooke and Yorke, (2010)
Floods are natural hazards that have shaped the landscape of our environment over thousands of years. Recently, the effect of floods has been intensified by the sustained population growth, changes in land use, and climate change with more intense rainfall patterns. The impact of these effects depends on the extent of the flood and temporal nature of their occurrence, as well as on the vulnerability and associated risk of the exposed communities and elements (infrastructure, ecosystems, etc). Most
commodity handled. Each analysis produces a functional space of European forwarding ports from one of the three perspectives. All three perspectives are also brought together in a synthetic analysis of inter-port competition. Commodity flow databases constitute a rich and multidimensional data source, but this information will not be useful unless some rules and patterns are extracted from data in the form of functional space, for instance. Exploratory spatial data analysis methods play an increasing
PROJECT MANAGEMENT ISSUES Melwin Fernandes 200083225 Ethics and Other Management Issues (CIS 485) Duncan Jeffries Project Management Issues What is Project Management? Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives. It is often closely related to program management (Wikipedia). A project is a temporary endeavour, undertaken to meet particular goals and objectives

Introduction Multiple salmonid species are known to actively select areas of groundwater upwelling for spawning. Surface water-groundwater (SW-GW) exchange
for economic development and growth. Foreign capital can enter a country in form of private capital and public capital and private capital my take the form of direct or indirect investment. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) refers to ownership of physical productive assets in the recipient country. It can be seen as the sum of the following components; • New equity from the foreign company in the home country to the company in the host country. • Re-invested profits earned from the company and
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Industrialization has not only changed the way the world do business but also changed the world itself. Fortunately, Nigeria is one of the countries that did not escape its impact. Industrialization is the process of social and economic change that transforms a human group from a pre-industrial society into an industrial one. It is a part of a wider modernization process, where social change and economic development are closely related with
