Parthenium hysterophorus, an invasive alien weed, is spreading rapidly across various land uses in Nepal. To understand how Parthenium is spreading across land uses at local scale, occurrence of this weed was recorded and its’ coverage in percent estimated along trails and road network at every 100 meter distance in Kirtipur Municipality of Kathmandu valley. In addition, vegetation sampling was...

The dispersion measures (DM) of fast radio bursts (FRBs) encode the integrated electron density along line-of-sight, which is typically dominated by intergalactic medium (IGM) contribution in case extragalactic FRBs. In this paper, we show that incorporating wide-field spectroscopic galaxy survey data foreground localized FRBs can significantly improve constraints on partition diffuse cosmic ba...

Abstract Information on chloride (Cl) distribution in aquifers is essential for planning and management of coastal zone groundwater resources as well simulation validation density-driven models. We developed a method to derive concentrations from borehole information helicopter-borne electromagnetic (HEM) data the aquifer Elbe-Weser region where observed electrical conductivity reveal that hori...
