DEM-based topographic corrections on Landsat-7 ETM+ imagery from rugged terrain, as an effective processing techniques to improve the accuracy of Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) classification as well as land surface parameter retrievals with remotely sensed data, has been frequently reported in the literature. However, few studies have investigated the exact effects of DEM with different resolution...

The question of whether impact basins dating from the time of heavy bombardment of the inner solar system are preserved on the surface of Venus is of paramount importance for an understanding of the geological processes that have shaped that planet. Two types of features have been suggested as candidates for impact basins on Venus: (1) large, quasi-circular topographic depressions and (2) large...

Over the last fifty years, the finite element method has emerged as a successful methodology for solving a wide range of partial differential equations. At the heart of any finite element simulation is the assembly of matrices and vectors from finite element variational forms. In this paper, we present a general and unified framework for finite element assembly. Based on this framework, we prop...

Earth and orbital-based radar observations of asteroids provide a unique opportunity to characterize surface roughness and the dielectric properties of their surfaces, as well as potentially explore some of their shallow subsurface physical properties. If the dielectric and topographic properties of asteroid’s surfaces are defined, one can constrain their surface textural characteristics as wel...

Previous studies proposed that the increase in eddy kinetic energy (EKE) Southern Ocean recent decades is primarily caused by strengthening of circumpolar surface westerlies. However, spatial pattern EKE change does not match wind change. Here, we revisit relationship between and stress through an observational analysis model experiments show determined mean flow. The increasing intensifies flo...

A unifying feature of lipids is relatively low solubility in aqueous media, yet lipids embody an immensely disparate set of molecules. It can be argued that lipids represent some of the most complex biological molecules. Classes of lipids include hydrocarbons, alcohols, fatty acids, waxes, glycerides, phospholipids, and glycolipids. There are also variations on a theme within a single lipid cla...
