We present non-Gaussianity testing on recently-released derived maps from the first-year WMAP data by Tegmark, de Oliveria-Costa and Hamilton. Our test is based on a phase mapping technique which has the advantage of testing non-Gaussianity at separate multipole bands. We show that their foregroundcleaned map is against the random-phase hypothesis at all 4 multipole bands centered around l = 15...

We used two hyperspectral sensors at two different scales to test their potential to estimate biophysical properties of grazed pastures in Rondônia in the Brazilian Amazon. Using a field spectrometer, ten remotely sensed measurements (i.e., two vegetation indices, four fractions of spectral mixture analysis, and four spectral absorption features) were generated for two grass species, Brachiaria...

El Objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el desempeño bovinos carne con pastoreo rotacional en las gramíneas Brachiaria humidicola, B. brizantha cv. marandú y decumbens. ensayo realizado la finca Agua Claras, piedemonte del municipio Tame – Arauca, a 430 msnm, temperatura media 28 °C, precipitación anual 2.890 mm/año distribución mono modal, brillo solar 1.800 horas luz/año humedad relativa 83%....

Our objectives were to evaluate strategies to improve productivity and economic returns from beef and dual-purpose cattle systems based on data collected on one dual-purpose (Bos taurus x Bos indicus) and two beef (Nellore) cattle farms in the western Amazon region of Brazil. Forage chemical composition and digestion rates of carbohydrate fractions of grazed Brachiaria decumbens and Brachiaria ...
