Abstract: Remote sensing technology in combination with geographic information system (GIS) can render reliable information on vegetation cover. The analysis of the spatial extent and temporal change of vegetation cover using remotely sensed data is of critical importance to agricultural sciences.This paper investigates the Spatio- Temporal change of vegetation cover of Kheragarh taluka of Agra district. For this study, Landsat images (TM and ETM+) of 12 February, 2002 and 27February, 2015 were used. For recognition of vegetation reflectance, layer stacking of band 4, 3 and 2 (false color composite) for TM and ETM+ was performed. To cross check the vegetation cover information obtained through images.............

Abstract: An examination of women's health from a feminist perspective is crucial in the understanding of gender relations in a society. The expansion of medical technologies has ushered in wide scale medical intervention in the area of reproduction, particularly in assisting reproduction with the use of technologies. It is imperative to examine the relationship between reproductive technologies and women as the relationship is mediated by gender and other axes of power like class caste religion sexuality etc..............

Abstract: Much attention has been put in technological advancement with lesser regard to marketing drivers which have direct impact on performance of the m-banking channel. Most studies on M-banking have concentrated on adoption and largely on obvious obstacles like the perception of risks, security, ease of use and the users‟ attitude etc. Marketing challenges have been studied much less particularly those challenges which affect post adoption uses of the M-banking system. The main objective of this study therefore was to establish the marketing challenges influencing the performance of mobile banking a survey of Equity Bank South Rift region; which was done by focusing the study oneffects of evolution of technological innovations, user security, risks and awareness level on performanceof the channel.
