The accurate detection of land subsidence rates in urban areas is important to identify damage-prone areas and provide decision-makers with useful information. Meanwhile, no precise measurements of land subsidence have been undertaken within the coastal Port-Said City in Egypt to evaluate its hazard in relationship to sea-level rise. In order to address this shortcoming, this work introduces an...

OBJECTIVES NHS North West aimed to fully implement the European Working Time Directive (EWTD) 1 year ahead of the August 2009 national deadline. Significant debate has taken place concerning the implications of the EWTD for patient safety. This study aims to directly address this issue by comparing parameters of patient safety in NHS North West to those nationally prior to EWTD implementation, ...

Digital surface model (DSM) has been widely available for mapping and was also sometimes used vegetation height. The authors conducted a preliminary study to evaluate the potential use of DSMs derived from ASTER, ALOS, SRTM estimating cover density in mountainous area. This NDVI SAVI indices, addition forest (FCD) as references evaluation. A DSM-based volume index (Volindex) concept is introduc...

The continuous monitoring of a shore plays an essential role in designing strategies for protection against erosion. To avoid the effect clouds and sunlight, satellite-based imagery with synthetic aperture radar is used to provide required data. In contrast standard model-driven methods, we present deep-learning-based approach detect coastlines such We split process into data preprocessing, mod...

Underground mining activities lead to ground movements at the earth surface. An area-wide monitoring and the documentation of mining induced influences are required by the mining authorities. Work done in the past confirmed a significant potential of SAR interferometric methods to contribute information to such monitoring. Nevertheless, in spite of advanced SAR interferometric processing techni...
