Forty-eight states in the United States use phosphorus (P) indices to meet the requirements of their Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Code 590 Standard, which provides national guidance for nutrient management of agricultural lands. The majority of states developed these indices without consultation or coordination with neighboring states to meet specific local conditions and polic...

Snowpacks in the southwestern United States melt intermittently throughout the winter. At some mid-elevation locations, between 7,000 and 7,500 ft, snowpacks appear and disappear, depending on the distribution of storms during relatively dry winters. Some winter precipitation can occur as rain during warm storms and is not reflected in the snow course data. The USDA Natural Resources Conservati...

We compared potential denitrification and phosphorus (P) sorption in restored depressional wetlands, restored riparian buffers, and natural riparian buffers of central Ohio to determine to what extent systems restored under the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) and Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) provide water quality improvement benefits, and to determine which ...

The determination of wave height by active satellite remote sensing, be it Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) or altimeter, has been a common practice for many years and is now imbedded on many meteorological and oceanographic forecasting systems. Despite their differences, all active sensors are based on the measurement of the Normalized Radar Cross Section (NRCS) of the sea surface, i.e., of its ...

This study investigated the prospect of using peanut shells as an alternative and green sound-absorbing material. The sound-absorption coefficients were determined after filling impedance tubes 30, 60, 90 mm in height with shells. ability increased increased, showing noise reduction coefficient (NRCs) 0.23, 0.43, 0.54 for 30-, 60-, 90-mm heights, respectively. In addition, sounds greater than 2...

The major problem in the assessment of relationships between rainfall and runoff occurs when a study is carried out in ungauged watersheds in the absence of hydro-climatic data. This study aims to evaluate the applicability of Natural Resources Conservation Service-Curve Number (NRCS-CN) method together with GIS in estimating runoff depth in a mountainous watershed. The study was carried out in...

فرزند‌پروری پس از طلاق یکی تکالیف حساس پیش روی والدین مُطلقه، و عوامل مؤثر در سلامت روانی فرزندان به شمار می‌آید. هدف این مطالعه کشف تبیین تجارب زیسته‌ هم‌والدگری است. روش کیفی با استفاده پدیدارشناسی توصیفی انجام شد. جامعه پژوهش شامل کلیه‌ والدینی بود که تجربه‌ فرزندپروری را داشته‌اند. برای تعیین حجم نمونه معیار اشباع داده شد نمونه‌گیری هدفمند تعداد 12 نفر (زن، مرد) انتخاب شدند مورد مصاحبه‌ نیمه...

In this work, three types of machine learning algorithms are applied for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) wind retrieval in tropical cyclones (TCs), and the optimal method is confirmed. total, 30 Sentinel-1 (S-1) images dual-polarization (vertical–vertical [VV] vertical–horizontal [VH] were collected during period from 2016 to 2021, which acquired interferometric-wide extra-wide modes with pixels...
