TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of carbon store of three dominant tree species in planned green capital city of Gandhinagar and unplanned industrial town of Mahesana in Gujarat State, India was carried out using geo-informatics technology.
Abstract: Comparative analysis of carbon store of three dominant tree species in planned green capital city of Gandhinagar and unplanned industrial town of Mahesana in Gujarat State, India was carried out using geo-informatics technology. The selected three major dominant tree species grown in these towns are Azadirachta indica, Acacia sp. and Cassia sp. The high spatial resolution Remote Sensing Satellite data from Indian Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS-Resourcesat-1) LISS-IV, Cartosat-1, and Google earth images were used in this study. The tree cover was categorized into dense and sparse on the basis of canopy cover observed on Satellite data. A grid of 1km X 1km was created in GIS environment and superimposed on Cartosat-1 images. Random sample of 20 % was selected for detailed tree count in the field and total tree count was estimated from these selected sample grids. Total biomass and carbon sequestered in the major tree species have been estimated using a non-destructive method. The carbon stock estimated for three major tree species in Gandhinagar and Mahesana towns indicate that Azadirachta indica has maximum carbon sequestration potential as compared to Acacia sp. and Cassia sp. The maximum of carbon stock was present in Girth at Breast Height (GBH) size >180 cm which is followed by GBH size 90 to 180 cm. The total number of trees in Gandhinagar town is much higher as compared to Mahesana town; therefore estimated carbon store of dominant tree species in Gandhinagar town is very high as compared to Mahesana town which is more arid as compared to Gandhinagar.

TL;DR: A one-dimensional stream water quality model with simple water quality kinetics formed a basic design for more advanced water quality models for the watershed and showed that relatively high inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations along the streams are related to diffuse nutrient loads that should be managed together with municipal and industrial wastewaters.

TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to determine the level of health awareness among university students in Jordan, and the results indicated that the degree of awareness for the Hashemite University students was low.
Abstract: The primary purpose of this study was to determine the level of health awareness among university students in Jordan. The sample of the study consisted of (860) male and female students from different colleges at the Hashemite University during the second semester of the academic year 2012/2013, who were exposed to the health awareness scale. To analyze the gathered data, means, standard deviations, t-test and one-way ANOVA were calculated. Additionally, results indicated that the degree of health awareness for the Hashemite University students was low, and that there were statistically significant differences for the level of health awareness for the Hashemite University students ascribed to the variables of gender, specialization, and academic level and GPA.
