Evapotranspiration problems in Iraq.

Evaluation of SEBAL Model for Evapotranspiration Mapping in Iraq Using Remote Sensing and GIS

Evapotranspiration is one of the major parameter in the hydrologic cycle. Standard measurements of this parameter is quite complex due to various factors such as variation of precipitation amount, spatial variation by latitude and longitude and changes in environment and specific site conditions. Although of this complexity, various methods were developed to estimate actual and potential Evapot...

Mortality in Iraq.

In their Article on mortality before and after the 2003 invasion of Iraq (Nov 20, p 1857), Les Roberts and colleagues use several questionable sampling techniques that should have been more thoroughly examined before publication. Although sampling of 988 households randomly selected from a list of all households in a country would be routinely acceptable for a survey, this was far from the meth...

Evapotranspiration of Pineapple in Hawaii.

The plants of the cerra(lo and caatinga ecological provinces of Brazil, the suggested original home of pineapple (3), have many and varied mechanisms whereby they have adapted to the frequent development of moisture stress. The pineapple planit presenits a peculiarly interestinig combination of those traits that have been l)ropose(l for xerophytic and sc!erophyllous plants (10, 15). Preferentia...
