The Spatial Distribution of Mosquitoes Related To the Environment on Rusinga Island, Western Kenya

Abstract: The SolarMal project on Rusinga Island, Western Kenya, aims to eliminate malaria by reducing the mosquito population, using a new developed mosquito trap which will be installed at all households on the island. The effect of the installed traps is monitored by sampling mosquitoes from randomly selected selected households on the island during the whole duration of the project. This thesis project aims to support the SolarMal project by performing spatial analysis to the distributio...

Application of Remote Sensing and GIS in the Population Study of Achara Layout Enugu, Enugu State, Nigeria

ABSTRACT This project is an attempt to study population distribution in Achara Layout Enugu, in Enugu State through integration of Remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS). The Remote sensing data used in this study included high spatial resolution Quick Bird imagery. Questionnaires were given out for use in generating the desired product in an interactive GIS environment. Field site capturing was based on basic survey principle, technique and instruction. Field work was done t...

A Regression Kriging Application for Rainfall Data Interpolation. Geostatistical Approach

There is increasing demand for gridded products of topographical, meteorological and climatological variables with high quality and spatial resolution from many different disciplines such as agriculture, construction, biodiversity planning, forestry and risk assessment and decision making in environmental management. In this report discuss application of some common methods to rainfall interpolation by considering rainfall spatial variability. Some common geostatistical interpolation methods ...

As-Built Surveying for the Facility Retrofitting of an Offshore Gas Plant using Leica Scanstation 2 High Definition Surveying Instrument

ABSTRACT  3D as-built models have been utilized over the years as an aid to several engineering activities and there are conventional survey methods; e.g. Total Station ray method, photogrammetric technique etc., with which the data required for these models are generated. These methods have proven not to be optimal in capturing datasets required for the modeling of some complex engineering structures. The reasons for this been the intrusive nature of some of these methods and their point ra...
