Der landwirtschaftliche Strukturwandel und nicht zuletzt auch die Ausweitung des Anbaus nachwachsender Rohstoffe für die energetische Nutzung haben in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten zu einer deutlichen Veränderung der Agrarlandschaft beigetragen und diese nachhaltig geprägt. Vor diesem Hintergrund beschäftigt sich die Forschungslinie '3D + t Landmodellierung' am Lehrstuhl für Geoinformatik der TU ...

The aim of the present study was to determine a good discriminatory cutoff for long working hours as a surrogate of chronic overload at work, which is associated with the approval of workers' compensation claims for work-related cerebro-cardiovascular disease (WR-CVD) in Korea. We evaluated weekly working hours for four weeks prior to the onset of disease for all manufacturing industry claimant...

infant mortality and morbidity present important challenges to those concerned with community health. we did this research to study epidemiology of diseases of infancy in city of tehran. during 15 days, of 6395 deliveries in tehran hospitals a cohort of 6267 live births entered this study. follow up data were gathered in 1st, 3rd, 6th and 12th months of birth. in this period, 5382 occurrence of...

Almond oil is used in many cosmetic products and as a snack in confectionery (marzipan, "turrón", nougat), food products (almond milk, ice cream, chocolate), culinary recipes and also cosmetic base. Seeds of 18 almond genotypes and cultivars: Azar, Rabie, A200, Shahroud13, Zodgol2, A230, Tuono, Shahrekord1, Shahroud 21, Najafabad, Nonpareil, Zodgol1, Yalda, K12-8, Supernova, Shekofeh, Sahand...

Defendant remorse is generally accepted as a mitigating factor in capital murder sentencing in the legal system. The current study addressed whether verbal and nonverbal expressions of defendant remorse are perceived as remorseful by mock jurors. Moreover, this study investigated the associations of defendant behaviors and mock juror need for affect on sentencing decisions. Participants watched...

A new objective method to determine the height of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) is presented here. PBL heights are computed using the statistical variance and kurtosis of dewpoint and virtual potential temperature differences measured from radio soundings at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program at the Southern Great Plains (SGP) site. These height...

This study is for introducing concepts of energy and entropy to describe a robot’s emotion decision. There are several kinds of approaches to explain the emotional structure. The dimensional approach based on factors of pleasure and arousal is chosen for the merit of the interpolation between emotions. Specifically, Circumplex model which has also two axes: pleasure and arousal is used. Besides...

The symmetric Lanczos method is commonly applied to reduce large-scale symmetric linear discrete ill-posed problems to small ones with a symmetric tridiagonal matrix. We investigate how quickly the nonnegative subdiagonal entries of this matrix decay to zero. Their fast decay to zero suggests that there is little benefit in expressing the solution of the discrete ill-posed problems in terms of ...
