Reflectance retrieval is a key parameter for land cover mapping from hyperspectral imagery. However most of the inverse methods to estimate these reflectances are limited in urban areas with the use of high spatial resolution sensors because they do not take into account the 3D radiative impact of the urban environment. A recent tool, ICARE [1], is able to retrieve surface reflectance in the re...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a computer - based training program of attention, memory and executive functions in enhancing neuropsychological performances as well as functional outcome in clients with schizophrenia.a total of 15 clinically stable out patients with diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (dsm-iv-tr) criteria for schizophrenia, diagnosed wit...

although decisions or inferences we make based on test scores depend both on characteristics of test-takers and of testing sit- uations, there is just little research which has been undertaken on the effects of these characteristics on test performance (e.g., in’nami, 2006). the effect of listening strategies on listening performance is also unde- niable (vandergrift, 1997). thus, considering t...

The researches have mentioned that student’s false attribution and absence of scholastic counseling service are the most important factors affecting student’s low performance and achievements. The main goal of this research was to study the rate of cognitive reconstructive effect on attr...

Spectrum sensing is an essential problem in cognitive radio communication system. This paper presents covariance based spectrum sensing on the test bed of cognitive radio system. A series of tests show that the detection performance of Covariance Based spectrum sensing technique is not liable to be affected by the noise uncertainty in practical application and meets the need of the system priml...
