The "ArcGIS JavaScript API", sits directly on top of Dojo framework, providing developers with access to Dojo user interface widgets and all the other benefits of Dojo core. Whit this ArcGIS you can build a html5/javascript mapping applications and the api allows you to easily embed maps in your web pages. An ArcGIS application utilizes a layer-based (TiledLayer, DynamicLayer, FeatureLayer, etc...) geographic information model for characterizing and describing our world. An ArcGIS application asks what it need, through a http/rest service (the service will return images or json data - for example) hosted on the ArcGIS server. In this simple html5/javascript demo project (http://sdrv.ms/UGlW0p) you can find five examples that show the basic functionality of the mapping framework "ArcGIS API for JavaScript" (will be shown the basic functionality of the ArcGIS classes layer). You can download the demo code at this link: http://sdrv.ms/UGlW0p - There is also a video on YouTube: http://youtu.be/2IV29O0dW2M

This document discusses using theoretical modelling of bird activity and behavior to assess the potential impacts of wind farm development on bird populations. It describes a model developed by Atmos Consulting to predict bird activity levels and transit times within wind farm airspace based on nest locations and species-specific ranging behavior. The model has been used successfully in several wind farm development cases to substitute for observed activity levels where survey data was limited, allowing projects to reduce survey requirements and receive approval while demonstrating low risk to bird populations. The modelling approach is also being expanded to incorporate habitat suitability.

Network Rail manages over 190,000 earthwork assets across the UK's 16,000 route km of track. Traditionally, earthwork inspections cost between £50-£120 per five chain length and were conducted on around 55,000 sites. However, the document describes how GIS analysis of aerial imagery and contour data allowed Network Rail to automatically extract geometry data on over 150,000 cross-sections and identify locations of 80% of sites previously marked as "never inspected", removing the need for on-site visits and saving around £1.2 million. The methodology is now being applied nationwide to generate a complete and consistent record of all earthwork assets for the first time.
