Geographical Information Systems and Spatial Optimization

By: Sami Faiz,Saoussen Krichen

This book deals with the basic concepts of GIS and optimization. It provides an overview of various integration protocols that are termed GIS-O integration strategies applied to practical applications. It also develops an integration approach for the vehicle routing problem with resource and distance requirements and approves it with numerical results. The book will be useful for researchers, decision makers, and practitioners who try to implement upgraded systems that derive benefits of both GIS and optimization.

Towards a water and nutrient efficient forage production in semi-arid regions of Pakistan

By: Ul-Allah, Sami

Green forage is the most important feed for livestock in Pakistan but with rapid urbanisation demands are increasing with reduced arable land. The first study of this book is about socio-economic structure of forage producing farmers. This study identified availability of irrigation water and high cost of fertilizers as major problems of the farmers. Second study of this book investigates the effect of cropping system, fertilizer and irrigation on total annual biomass yield of forage. This study found drought adoptive cropping system more productive and water use efficient with limited resources of fertilizer and irrigation. Third study evaluates the effect of fertilizer, irrigation and cropping system on crude protein (CP) and metabolizable energy (ME) and irrigation water use efficiency of CP and ME. This study also identified drought adoptive cropping system more productive and water use efficient with respect to CP and ME. From the whole study it can be concluded that the implementation of DACS in Pakistan’s agriculture may contribute to a more efficient and sustainable forage production and by this may enhance also the profitability of the farmers.

Syria and the USA

Washington's Relations with Damascus from Wilson to Eisenhower

By: Sami Moubayed

The conclusion of World War I and the subsequent breakup of the Ottoman Empire led to the independence of a number of Arab nations and resulted in a Western scramble for roles of control and influence over them. It was not until after World War I that Syria and the United States had a formal diplomatic relationship - prior to then the only Americans who had developed a relationship with the nation were missionaries, particularly those involved with the Syrian Protestant College, established in 1866. The collapse of the Ottoman Empire, however, single-handedly brought Syria into the sphere of influence of the Western world, and as Sami Moubayed here illustrates, particularly that of the United States. The relationship between the two nations was by no means uncomplicated, and there were a number of challenges from the years following World War I to the early years of the Cold War. Though relations were warm between the United States and Syria while Emir Faisal was ensconced in Damascus, Washington saw little point in pursuing an American-Arab alliance, and Faisal's reputation suffered greatly as a result of his relationship with Wilson, particularly with respect to his stance on the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine. Relations cooled between the two nations during the presidencies of both Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge, neither of whom saw any value in being involved in Middle East affairs. However, with the discovery of large oil reserves in the Middle East, as well as Syria's siding with the Allies and declaring war on Nazi Germany, interest in the American-Syrian relationship was greatly revived. As quickly as the relationship warmed though, it also cooled: in the aftermath of World War II, the United States was linked to involvement in a series of coups and counter-coups that destabilized Syria from 1949 until the Syrian-Egyptian union of 1958. Furthermore, Washington's initially benevolent attitude towards the right to self-determination gradually evolved into one of manipulation, espionage and covert activity during the Cold War when the US considered Syria as a Soviet proxy in the Middle East. The forty years between 1919 and 1959 saw the creation and unravelling of America's relationship with Syria. In this book, Moubayed brilliantly explores the events of these years and, using original research and previously unpublished material, sheds light on an often overlooked subject. Syria and the USA is an essential read for scholars of the Middle East, US diplomatic history and twentieth-century international relations.
