Abstract:

The social and professional isolation of physicians remains an important issue in rural areas. However, few studies have investigated the involvement of geographic factors in the isolation. This study investigates rural public clinics in inland and remote island locations and attempts to objectively compare the isolation of these physicians. A mailed questionnaire was sent to rural clinics where graduate physicians from Jichi Medical School were working in 1994 and 1995. Among the 198 clinics with one or more full-time physicians, 185 (93 percent) responded to the inquiry. Geographic and demog

Abstract:

Studies of evapotranspiration on remote tropical coral islands are important to explore and sustain scarce freshwater resources. However, there is a significant knowledge gap between research to evaluate evapotranspiration based on remote sensing methods and the influences of different land use types on water dynamics on reclaimed coral islands. This study applied the remote-sensing-based Vegetation Interfaces Processes (VIP-RS) model to estimate actual evapotranspiration (ETa) on Zhaoshu Island, Yongxing Island, and Yongshu Island in the South China Sea from 2016 to 2019. The results showed t

Abstract:

Little is known about colonization of remote island coasts by marine invertebrates, other than corals. The structure of hard substrata assemblages was investigated across Ascension Island's littoral zone in comparison with other sites. Arrays of acrylic panels were deployed at two sites for 2 years at Ascension Island to measure subtidal recruitment. Colonization of panels at Ascension I. was low, though space occupation, abundance and richness varied considerably. After ~1 and 2 years Ascension panels were <17 and <37% covered by fauna and each had <22 recruits and 54 recruits (per 1

Abstract:

The energy costs of island systems are usually higher than those of large grid systems. Therefore, majority of the countries worldwide usually initiate their plans for developing renewable energy on remote islands. The electricity cost of Matsu Islands accounted for roughly 5% of total annual deficit of Taiwan Power Company. Hence, power generation is a critical energy economics issue for the Matsu Islands. This study will examine the possibility of wind power integration into Matsu Islands and investigate the transient frequency response in this system when a fault or disturbance occurs. Acco

Abstract:

Reverse osmosis (RO) is one of the most feasible methods of desalination to produce a supplemental freshwater supply. Because traditional RO desalination is energy-intensive, it is not a viable solution for remote Pacific islands where electricity is also in short supply. The utilization of wind power holds promise as a solution to this problem, as most of these remote islands are subject to constant trade winds. RO desalination of brackish groundwater, which is available in many of these islands, requires low feed water pressure that can be delivered by wind power at a moderate wind speed. Te

Abstract:

The development of peripheral or outer islands is not widely discussed in the literature on national economic development. As peripheral and remote areas, outer islands and archipelagos are often ignored because they are deemed unimportant to a country’s economic growth. China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which aims to open channels of trade and connectivity, may influence island development and alter relationships between outer islands and their associated mainlands. The Natuna Islands are a remote outer archipelago of Indonesia’s Riau Islands Province but now find themselves on the path

Abstract:

One of the best-known general patterns in island biogeography is the species–isolation relationship (SIR), a decrease in the number of native species with increasing island isolation that is linked to lower rates of natural dispersal and colonization on remote oceanic islands. However, during recent centuries, the anthropogenic introduction of alien species has increasingly gained importance and altered the composition and richness of island species pools. We analyzed a large dataset for alien and native plants, ants, reptiles, mammals, and birds on 257 (sub) tropical islands, and showed that,

Abstract:

The Falkland Islands constitute a remote archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean that is about 450 km east of continental South America. The invertebrate fauna of the Falkland Islands is poorly known, and thus far no ants have been reported. We conducted surveys for ants on East Falkland Island during the austral summer 2019. No ants were found during our surveys, such that East Falkland Island is one of few oceanic islands that lack native and non-native ants.

The multi-scale representation of remote sensing images provides various levels of image information crucial for decision-making in GIS applications and plays a significant role in information processing, data analysis, and geographic modeling. Traditional methods for multi-scale representation of remote sensing images often struggle to simplify local details of individual targets while preserving the overall characteristics of target groups. These methods also encounter issues such as transitional texture distortion and rough final boundaries. This paper proposes a novel multi-scale represent

Abstract:

“…the very close relation of the distinct species which inhabit the islets of the same archipelago, -- and especially the striking relation of the inhabitants of each whole archipelago or island to those of the nearest mainland, -- are, I think, utterly inexplicable on the ordinary view of the independent creation of each species, but are explicable on the view of colonisation from the nearest and readiest source, together with the subsequent modification and better adaptation of the colonists to their new homes.”

Changes of Dnieper’s islands’ landscapes within Kyiv at the example of Velykiy Pivnichniy Island are studied. Using GIS, cartographic materials and remote sensing data the island’s square dynamic for more than seventy years is obtained. During decoding vector layers – the contours of the coastline of the island and the island area – were created and island’s square for 1942, 1975, 1985, 1990, 2000, 2015 years was estimated. Using module implemented in ArcScene ArcGIS the dynamics of long-term changes of Velykiy Island’s shape was modeled and clearly reflected in the form of three-dimensional m

Abstract:

The endemic Hawaiian cosmopterigid moth genus Hyposmocoma Butler, 1881 contains 315 described species, making it one of the Archipelago’s most diverse radiations. However, only one species was previously described as endemic to the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI), and prior taxonomic work in the region has been problematic. The NWHI represent a series of much older island remnants and atolls that were formerly high islands of much greater diversity. Systematic relationships within and between Hyposmocoma on the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands may have implications for understanding not only

Abstract:

Accurately identifying the rural production-living-ecological space (PLES) of different islands can help reveal their distinct natural resources and land-use situations, which is significant for the sorted management, subarea utilization, and protection of islands. At present, studies on the PLES of island villages are deficient. For instance, the existing land-use classification system is incomplete; the PLES is poorly identified; and the dominant function of multiple land-use types based on different island geomorphology types is insufficiently investigated. Therefore, a case study was condu

It is important to apply principles of “public health” and “primary health care” so that all island residents may have a reasonable expectation of health care. Schools of

In addition, multispectral water depth optical remote sensing has wide application values. Considering the relationship betwee

Coral reefs have important functions and roles in the balance of marine ecosystems, so monitoring coral reefs is very important.
