Compounds consisting of [M(1,2-disila-[3n]crown-n)] (M = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba; n = 5, 6) and [Ba(1,2-disilabenzo[18]crown-6)] cations and different anions were obtained by equimolar reaction of the hybrid disila-crown ethers 1,2-disila[15]crown-5 (1), 1,2-disila[18]crown-6 (2) and 1,2-disila-benzo[18]crown-6 (7) with alkaline earth metal salts. Even with strongly coordinating anions such as Br or I s...

The overall goal of this study was to develop methods for assessing crown base height for individual trees using airborne lidar data in forest settings typical for the southeastern United States. More specific objectives are to: (1) develop new lidar-derived features as multiband height bins and processing techniques for characterizing the vertical structure of individual tree crowns; (2) inves...

Remote sensing of vegetation condition using high resolution digital multispectral imagery (DMSI) is an option for land managers interested in quantifying the distribution and extent of dieback in native forest. Crown condition is assessed as reference to the physical structure and foliage (i.e. density, transparency, extent and in-crown distribution) of a tree crown. At 20 sites in the Yalgoru...

Study of interaction between catechol and tetraethylene glycol dichloride in the n-butanol media, resulting with benzo-15-crown-5 production. Production of nitroand amino-derivatives of benzo-15-crown-5. Determination of their thermogravimetric characteristics. keywords: benzo-15-crown-5, catechol, tetraethylene glycol dichloride, crown ether, gas liquid chromatography, chromate-mass spectrometry

Tree detection and tree crown delineation from Airborne LiDAR has been focusing mostly on utilizing the canopy height model (CHM). This paper presents a method for individual tree crown delineation based on densities of high points (DHP) from the high resolution Airborne LiDAR. The DHP method relies on the fact that the density of received laser pulses above a certain height is high at the cent...

Abstract Since Bodin, scholars have been debating whether sovereignty is indivisible or rather decentred, multiple, and shared. This article adds to practice-oriented conceptualizations of sovereignty, which acknowledge the existence jurisdictional pluralism in nineteenth-century state-building. Borrowing from imperial history, it contrasts nominal supremacy Prussian crown – as embodied by mona...
