In soil moisture retrieval by passive microwave technique at lower frequencies, the model is often used. To eliminate vegetation effects at higher frequencies than C-band, a Matrix-Doubling microwave emission model is developed in this paper to study the single scattering albedo and transmissivity of corn with different height at C (6.925GHz), X (10.65GHz) and Ku (18.7GHz) bands. The comparison...

We show that amplitude-squeezed states may be produced by driving a feedback-controlled cavity with a coherent input signal. The feedback controls the transmissivity of one output from the cavity and is essentially equivalent to nonlinear absorption. The cavity electively acts as a nonlinear reflector. Hence, amplitude-squeezed states with arbitrarily strong coherent intensities can be obtained...

The trend to a hotter and drier climate, with more extended droughts, has been observed in recent decades southern Australia is projected continue under climate change. This paper reviews studies on the impacts of change groundwater associated environmental assets Australia, describes planning frameworks management responses. High-risk areas are spatially patchy due highly saline or low-transmi...

Constant head tests are commonly used for field measurements of fracture transmissivity. As a bulk transmissivity is measured each test section, it frequently unclear how this relates to the hydraulic properties individual fractures. The goal study determine if constant conducted at scales larger than average spacing can be generate discrete network (DFN) models that describe transport. methodo...

background: phthalates are a group of multifunctional chemicals. diethyl phthalate (dep) is one of the most frequently used phthalates in solvents and fixatives for numerous industrial products. method: the present experiment was designed to assess oxidative stress, if any, caused by diethyl phthalate. for this the homogenates of liver and kidney were treated with different concentrations ( 10-...

Background and Objective: It is well known that stress and glucocorticoid, modulate memory processing, though the result is completely dependent on the time of stress induction. This study investigated the effect of acute corticosterone administration on memory retrieval of recent and remote memory in a 4 trials/day (low- intensity learning) or 8 trials/ day (high- intensity learning) Morris wa...
