Identification Of Ground Water Potential Zones In Tamil Nadu By Remote Sensin...IJERA Editor
A case study was conducted to find out the groundwater potential zones in Salem, Erode and Namakkal districts, Tamil Nadu, India with an aerial extent of 360.60 km2. The thematic maps such as geology, geomorphology, soil hydrological group, land use / land cover and drainage map were prepared for the study area. The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) has been generated from the 10 m interval contour lines (which is derived from SOI, Toposheet 1:25000 scale) and obtained the slope (%) of the study area. The groundwater potential zones were obtained by overlaying all the thematic maps in terms of weighted overlay methods using the spatial analysis tool in Arc GIS 9.3. During weighted overlay analysis, the ranking has been given for each individual parameter of each thematic map and weights were assigned according to the influence such as soil −25%, geomorphology − 25%, land use/land cover −25%, slope − 15%, lineament − 5% and drainage / streams − 5% and find out the potential zones in terms of good, moderate and poor zones with the area of 49.70 km2, 261.61 km2 and 46.04 km2 respectively. The potential zone wise study area was overlaid with village boundary map and the village wise groundwater potential zones with three categories such as good, moderate and poor zones were obtained. This GIS based output result was validated by conducting field survey by randomly selecting wells in different villages using GPS instruments. The coordinates of each well location were obtained by GPS and plotted in the GIS platform and it was clearly shown that the well coordinates were exactly seated with the classified zones.

In this research paper, the effectiveness and capability of remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS) are investigated as powerful tools for analyzing changes in land use and land cover (LULC), as well as for accuracy assessment. The study employs the literature of satellite imagery and GIS data to evaluate LULC changes over a period and to assess the accuracy of the analysis. Moreover, the research investigates the land use and land cover change detection analysis using RS and GIS, application of artificial intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML) in LULC classification, environment and risk evaluation, stages of process LULC classification, factors affecting the LULC classification, accuracy assessment, and potential applications of RS and GIS in predicting future LULC changes and supporting decision-making processes. The findings of the study suggest that RS and GIS are highly effective and accurate for LULC analysis and assessment, with substantial potential for predicting and managing future changes in land use and land cover. The paper emphasizes the importance of utilizing RS and GIS techniques in the field of sustainable environmental management and resource planning.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

Remote Sensing and GIS in Land Use / Land Cover Mapping
1. Remote Sensing and GIS in Land Use /
Land Cover Mapping

2. Purpose
Analyzing agricultural Vs. urban land use is important for ensuring
that development does not encroach on valuable agricultural land
Ensure that agriculture is occurring on the most appropriate land and
will not degrade due to improper adjacent development or
infrastructure.
3. Land cover refers to the surface cover on the ground, whether
vegetation, urban infrastructure, water, bare soil or other.
Identifying, delineating and mapping land cover is important for
global monitoring studies, resource management, and planning
activities.
Land cover mapping serves as a basic inventory of land resources -
change detection studies
4. Land Use refers to the purpose the land serves, agriculture,
construction, recreation, wildlife habitat.
Identify the land use changes from year to year.
To conserve the resources (urban encroachment, and depletion of
forests) and make developmental plan
5. Land use / land cover classification system:
principles like:
Level of intervention
Generality
Hierarchical structure
Prime use / Ancillary use.
6. Anderson’s (1971) criteria of LU/LC classification system
(employing remote sensing data):
The minimum level of interpretation accuracy in the identification of land
use and land cover categories should be at least 85 percent.
The accuracy of interpretation for the several categories should be about
equal.
Repeatable or repetitive results should be obtainable from one interpreter to
another and from one time of sensing to another.
The classification system should be applicable over extensive areas.
The categorization should permit vegetation and other types of land cover
to be used as surrogates for activity.
7. The classification system should be suitable for use with remote sensor
data obtained at different times of the year.
Effective use of subcategories that can be obtained from ground
surveys or from the use of larger scale or enhanced remote sensor data
should be possible.
Aggregation of categories must be possible.
Comparison with future land use data should be possible.
Multiple uses of land should be recognized when possible.
8. Land Use / Cover Data Sets
Global data:
International Geosphere Biosphere Project Discover at 1km resolution
University of Maryland at 1km resolution
Global Land Cover 2000 at 1km resolution
MODIS Land cover product at 250m resolution.
National dataset:
NRSC, ISRO with the collaboration of Ministry of Agriculture,
NBSS&LUP working on this system.

10. Digital classification
a. Supervised classification
The information about spectral representation of a characteristic land cover
class has to be provided in the form of training sets. Several supervised
classification algorithms are employed for land use/cover information
extraction.
However, supervised classification employing maximum likelihood
algorithm has been the most commonly used digital classification technique
on remotely sensed data (Richards, 1993).
11. b. Un-supervised classification
No prior information about the land cover types or their distribution is required.
Unsupervised classification methods divide the scene into more or less pure spectral
clusters, typically constrained by pre-defined parameters characterizing the
statistical properties of these clusters and the relationships among adjacent clusters.
The assignment of land cover labels to individual spectral clusters is made
subsequently on the basis of ground information, obtained in the locations indicated
by the resulting clusters.
when mapping a large area previously not well known, unsupervised classification
is a better strategy
12. Land use applications of remote sensing
Natural resource management
Wildlife habitat protection
Baseline mapping for GIS input
