Abstract The term “urban heat island” (UHI) describes increased surface and atmospheric temperatures in an urban core relative to surrounding non-urbanized areas. Although the phenomenon has been studied to a great extent throughout the world, it is less understood for Kathmandu, Nepal. This study used the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS) 8-day product (MOD11A2) to evaluate land surface temperatures (LSTs), the MODIS-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) 16-day product (MOD13Q1) to quantify land surface characteristics, and the MODIS annual land cover classification product (MCD12Q1) to identify major land cover classes. We evaluated the spatial correlation between significant changes in LSTs…

Promoting sustainable agricultural practices at an individual farm level is essential to ensure agricultural sustainability. This study analyzed whether and how various factors related to farm or farmers’ characteristics influence the adoption intensity of sustainable agriculture practices. We used a negative binomial regression model to fit the data collected from a mail survey of farmers in Kentucky, USA. Our results showed that the adoption intensity of sustainable agriculture practices varied significantly among agricultural districts in Kentucky. Farmers who grew row crops, had irrigation facilities, and were in favor of crop diversification were significantly more likely than their respective counterparts to…
This blog post is a synthesis of a recorded version of a webinar by “American Journal Experts” launched on June 28, 2018. I have included tips that might be useful to everyone looking to publish their major research projects or side projects. Make a list of target journals that have published articles similar to the one you are looking to publish. This will help you in future to save time searching target journals. Prioritize them based on your need and quality of papers.
All of a sudden, today I thought of doing a little research about how much I can earn after my PhD or Master and what will be my career sector. While doing a research, I found the official website of The Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. To be consistent, I decided to stick with this website and compare salary and earning of some highly paid and highly respected jobs in the USA.
