To accurately estimate leaf area index (LAI) in mangrove areas, the selection of appropriate models and predictor variables is critical. However, there is a major challenge in quantifying and mapping LAI using multi-spectral sensors due to the saturation effects of traditional vegetation indices (VIs) for mangrove forests. WorldView-2 (WV2) imagery has proven to be effective to estimate LAI of ...

To improve the transport performance of a rotodynamic multiphase pump for gas–liquid mixture, we took head and efficiency index at rated flow rate with 15% inlet gas volume fraction as indices, used orthogonal test design method CFD technology to optimize. We selected blade shroud angles leading edge trailing edge, axial length impeller, well incidence angle number diffuser, total five factors ...

forest roads are directions in natural habitats that used to transport wood products, secondary forest products and recreation. constructing forest roads causes trees clearing with specified width thus lead to direct or indirect changes in forest ecosystems and forest environment. this study aims to assess the changes of diversity and richness indices in main and secondary forest roads in a par...

Abstract In terms of soil conditions, clay minerals infrequently occur as homogenous mixtures single constituents, gatherings, stages, or types minerals. Rather, they contain intricate arrays essential and rippling intermediates numerous basic synergistic mixtures. There is also the possibility that a discrete mineral grain composed more than one type has sections are intermediate amongst two c...

Abstract Tropical forests are being cleared at an accelerating rate, despite one of the most important habitats for global biodiversity. Many remaining tropical forest tracts now highly degraded and fragmented, which presents a major problem sensitive threatened forest-dwelling species that depend on this habitat survival. In study, we assessed impacts fragmentation, its associated edge-effects...

Let $kgeq 1$ be an integer, and $G=(V,E)$ be a finite and simplegraph. The closed neighborhood $N_G[e]$ of an edge $e$ in a graph$G$ is the set consisting of $e$ and all edges having a commonend-vertex with $e$. A signed Roman edge $k$-dominating function(SREkDF) on a graph $G$ is a function $f:E rightarrow{-1,1,2}$ satisfying the conditions that (i) for every edge $e$of $G$, $sum _{xin N[e]} f...

let $d$ be a digraph with vertex set $v(d)$. for vertex $vin v(d)$, the degree of $v$,denoted by $d(v)$, is defined as the minimum value if its out-degree and its in-degree.now let $d$ be a digraph with minimum degree $deltage 1$ and edge-connectivity$lambda$. if $alpha$ is real number, then the zeroth-order general randic index is definedby $sum_{xin v(d)}(d(x))^{alpha}$. a digraph is maximall...

Forest fragmentation affects biological communities by reducing habitat and increasing edges, thus reducing the effective size of the habitable zones. The subtropical atlantic Araucaria forest, typical on the southern Brazil, in some regions has been reduced to less than 1% of its original size lasting only in small isolated fragments. This study aimed to analyse the impact the edge has on vasc...

Abstract. For a (molecular) graph G with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G), the first and second Zagreb indices of G are defined as M1(G) = ∑ v∈V (G) dG(v) 2 and M2(G) = ∑ uv∈E(G) dG(u)dG(v), respectively, where dG(v) is the degree of vertex v in G. The alternative expression of M1(G) is ∑ uv∈E(G)(dG(u) + dG(v)). Recently Ashrafi, Došlić and Hamzeh introduced two related graphical invariants M...
