Remote sensing in hydrological sciences

Space age, and with it the era of earth observation, is generally considered to have begun more than 50 years ago with the launch of Sputnik-1 on 4 October 1957 (Kramer, 2002). Sputnik’s beeping radio signals did not only serve to demonstrate the technological capabilities of the Soviet Union, they were also used to gather information about the electron density of the ionosphere. In legacy of S...

Sexual parasites are intracellular symbionts capable of manipulating the reproduction of their hosts. They are widespread in Arthropods where they display a wide range of reproductive manipulations; these can be potentially involved in the evolution of mating systems, speciation, gene acquisition and sex determination. In particular, Wolbachia is thought to infect more than 66% of insect specie...

Mots-clés: adsorption de CO2, thermographie IR, spectroscopie DRIFT, méthodologie haut-débit, modélisation thermique, chaleur d'adsorption, technique inverse. Abstract: CO2 capture via adsorption process on porous materials (adsorbents) is a promising alternative due to its high selectivity and low energy penalties. We have investigated in-situ CO2 adsorption on solid adsorbents by combining Di...

Based on the principles of system thought and related enterprise integration methodologies, a process oriented methodology and ICMMS (Intelligent Control-Maintenance-technical Management Systems) reference model for hydropower plants are proposed. Because the structures of the hydropower generating process are unchanging from the point of view of energy conversion, the methodology employs the p...
