Abstract Developing Species Distribution Models (SDM) for marine exploited species is a major challenge in fisheries ecology. Classical modelling approaches typically rely on fish research survey data. They benefit from standardized sampling design and controlled catchability, but they usually occur once or twice year may sample relatively small number of spatial locations. Spatial monitoring c...

Fatigue damage accumulation under variable amplitude loadings is vital for the life prediction of welded structures. An approach based on distribution mapping presented. S-N curves joints are utilized to construct fatigue zones, and a corresponding polynomial fitting function derived from heat transfer FEA solution. Experimental results cruciform T tensile three-point bending employed validatio...

With the help of GPS and measuring instrument of soil moisture, soil moisture was measured and analyzed. As using Geo-statistics to the study of spatial variability of soil moisture and use ArcGIS 9.0, get the spatial distribution map of soil water property with Kriging interpolation. The research result showed that all soil spatial characters are normal distribution and the spatial distributio...

The amount of water on earth is the same and only the distribution and the reallocation of water forms are altered in both time and space. To improve the rainwater harvesting a better understanding of the hydrological cycle is mandatory. Clouds are major component of the hydrological cycle; therefore, clouds distribution is the keystone of better rainwater harvesting. Remote sensing technology ...
