Land-surface processes are one of the important drivers for weather and climate systems over the tropics. Realistic representation of land surface processes in mesoscale models over the region will help accurate simulation of numerical forecasts. The present study examines the influence of Land Use/ Land Cover Change (LULC) on the forecasting of cyclone intensity and track prediction using Meso...

Landslides are amongst the most damaging natural hazards in the mountainous terrain like Himalaya. The study of landslides has drawn worldwide attention mainly due to increasing awareness of socio-economic impacts of landslides. Remote sensing images provide many useful land use information to combine in a GIS environment with other spatial factors influencing the occurrence of landslide. The l...

Many Indian capitals are rapidly becoming megacities due to industrialization and rural–urban emigration. Land use within city boundaries has changed dynamically, accommodating development while replacing traditional land-use patterns. Using Landsat-8 and IRS-P6 data, this study investigated land-use changes in urban and peri-urban Hyderabad and their influence on land-use and land-cover. Advan...

PURPOSE To compare the efficacy of acupressure wrist bands and ondansetron for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). METHODS One hundred and fifty ASA I-II, patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in a randomized, prospective, double-blind and placebo-controlled study. Patients were divided into three groups of 50. Group I was the control;...

Liquid-infused surfaces (LISs) are composite solid–liquid with remarkable features such as liquid repellency, self-healing, and the suppression of fouling. This review focuses on fluid mechanics LISs, that is, interaction a flow field behavior drops surfaces. LISs can be characterized by an effective slip length is closely related to their drag reduction property, which makes them suitable for ...

Intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) consist of configurable meta-atoms, which can change the wireless propagation environment through design their reflection coefficients. We consider a practical setting where (i) IRS coefficients are configured by adjusting tunable elements embedded in (ii) affected incident angles incoming signals, (iii) is deployed multi-path, time-varying channels, and (i...

ecotones are zones of gradual changes from an ecological system to another.ecotones monitoring could be important to find out the reason for changes and limits. inthis research satellite data were used to analyze the ecotone boundary in fars steppicrangelands using irs liss iii and pan data of year 2006. the real vegetation map andecotones prepared through geo-eye images from google earth softw...
