OBIS, an initial Census effort at assembling the more obvious datasets, including some of those from Census projects, provides tools to create maps so organism distributions can be visualized, and to model potential distributions based on abiotic characteristics of the environment.
Later, Wilkins further created a graphical user interface and management tool: Census, to help Xpose diagnose models [ 16].
Relative quantification of N/N peptide ratios was performed using TPP tools and Census software (Scripps Research Institute).
Instead, the LAGOS-GIS Toolbox allows a semi-automated geoprocessing workflow leading to: 1) watershed delineations for each lake, 2) robust addition of attributes to lakes and the zones (or spatial extents) in which they reside, 3) determination of 'connectivity' metrics for census lakes, and 4) tools that summarize continuous data in a consistent way for a variety of spatial extents.
This assessment contained information on health activities, but fell short of the comprehensiveness of the other more spontaneous datasets examined, in large part due to the nature of the 3W tool, which is not generally intended to be used as a health facility assessment tool or census.
Census findings are a tool to help governments allocate spending and plan ahead.
While the utility of a once-a-year census as a monitoring tool is potentially compromised by lack of standardization in counting protocols and variation in observer skill, at Willow Slough these issues have been minimized.
Demographic census is a powerful tool for detecting and diagnosing decline (Keith, 2002; Menges, 1990).
The assessment of the age and sex distribution for all the four censuses using the above-mentioned demographic tools yielded a number of observations.
These snap censuses will probably not work as tools for regular routine implementation.
