Abstract. This study aims to investigate global, regional and seasonal temporal dust changes as well the effect of particles on total aerosol loading using ModIs Dust AeroSol (MIDAS) fine-resolution dataset. MIDAS delivers optical depth (DOD) at fine spatial resolution (0.1?×0.1?) spanning from 2003 2017. Within this period, burden increased across central Sahara (up 0.023 yr?1) Arabian Peninsu...

When designing tabletop digital games, designers often draw inspiration from board games because of their similarities (e.g., spatial structure, social setting, and physical interaction). As part of our tabletop handheld augmented reality (THAR) games research, in which computer graphics content is rendered and registered on top of the players’ view of the physical world, we are motivated to un...

Satellite-based precipitation, Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), Cloud Optical Depth (COD), and Aerosol Index (AI) data were used to characterize the linkages among landform and the intra-annual variability of aerosols, cloudiness and rainfall in the Himalayas using empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis. The first modes of AOD and AI show the presence of two branches of dust aerosol: over the...

John Rawls rejects prejusticial conceptions of distributive desert on the grounds that such conceptions are immoral and impractical. Prejusticial understandings of desert claim that desert can be understood prior to and independently of justice in social institutions, and take legitimate desert claims to provide standards for evaluating social arrangements. Some philosophers have interpreted Ra...
