This paper describes a novel, simple and efficient approach to estimate forest height over a wide region utilizing spaceborne repeat-pass InSAR correlation magnitude data at L-band. We start from a semi-empirical modification of the RVoG model that characterizes repeat-pass InSAR correlation with large temporal baselines (e.g., 46 days for ALOS) by taking account of the temporal change effect o...

Tide-induced hydraulic head fluctuation results in significant airflow above the water table if the aquifer is air-confined, for example, if the aquifer is capped by low permeability materials. Hypothetical studies on the interaction between tidal fluctuation and airflow in coastal aquifers are carried out using an air–water two-phase numerical model. The results show that both the amplitude of...

With the development of global market and information network, international futures markets have become integrated. Price fluctuation of one futures market may cause related price fluctuation in another exchange. Many researches have shown that there is high correlation between international and domestic futures price fluctuation. However, quantitative research and the information system for a...

AIM To evaluate differences in diurnal intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuation in glaucoma/ocular hypertension patients treated with once-daily fixed-combination latanoprost/timolol, once-daily latanoprost or twice-daily timolol. METHODS In two 6-month, double-masked, parallel-group studies, patients received run-in timolol (2-4 weeks) and randomised (1:1:1) to therapy. IOP was measured three ...

In the context of the Markovian dynamical evolution in a nonstationary thermal bath, we construct a family of fluctuation relations for the entropy production that are not verified by the work performed on the system. We exhibit fluctuation relations, which are global versions either of the generalized fluctuation-dissipation theorem around a nonequilibrium diffusion or of the usual fluctuation...

this paper presents a new framework for developing a sustainable and inspirational vision through combination of futuring and storytelling concepts. this combination helped us to overcome the previous problems and weaknesses on the way of visioning process and vision communication. to achieve key elements of corporate vision and narration, 237 questionnaires containing five open ended questions...

the purpose of this study, is to describe visionary leadership, a new approach in leadership. so the vision, core concept of visionary leadership, have been studied and investigated its relation with visionary leadership. methodology was literature review, and content analysis. analyzing of collected data shows the relationship between visionary leadership and vision. at last, the relationship ...

this article has been formulated based on the strategic planning of the university. vision formulation has been done based on the model presented by j. collins and j. porras (1996). the model includes two sectors, which are core ideolgy and envisioned future. in this article the envisioned future of the university and its vision have been formulated. envisioned future itself is included in two ...
