Spatial and temporal analysis of MODIS and AVHRR images have been carried out to discriminate burned areas from other land covers. Spatial and temporal analysis were performed based on statistical separability and temporal changes. The objective of these analysis was to find out the most sensitive bands for burned land mapping in order to design spectral indices better adapted to the discrimina...

The Galerkin finite element method is used to solve the three dimensional continuity, momentum and energy equations for laminar Newtonian and power-law model non-Newtonian flow through horizontal circular tube. The governing equations are non-dimensionalized with respect to specific variables and converted into algebraic equations using appropriate elements. To accelerate convergence a combinat...

We combined soft x-ray reflectivity and x-ray standing wave enhanced fluorescence to study the optical performance and the thermal induced interface behaviour of Co/Mo2C nanometric multilayers, designed to work in the soft x-ray range close to the Co L3 absorption edge. Grazing x-ray reflectivity measurements were performed at 0.154 nm (Cu Kα line) and at two wavelengths in the soft x-ray range...

Water level monitoring is important for understanding the global hydrological cycle. Remotely-sensed indices that capture localized instantaneous responses have been extensively explored for water level reconstruction during the past two decades. However, the potential usage of the Palmer’s Drought Severity Index (PDSI) and El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) indices for water level reconstruct...

− The identification of irrigated cropland is essential for crop monitoring, yield estimation and water management assessment in drylands. The standard approach is to use supervised classification on multispectral bands, vegetation indices or the Principal Components or, more recently, the combination of optical images with radar data. More complex methods, such as time-series analysis, sub-pix...

Low-frequency (LF) ultrasound (20-100 kHz) has a diverse set of industrial and medical applications. In fact, high power industrial applications of ultrasound mainly occupy this frequency range. This range is also used for various therapeutic medical applications including sonophoresis (ultrasonic transdermal drug delivery), dentistry, eye surgery, body contouring, the breaking of kidney stones...

Thermal comfort evaluation for vehicle occupants is very complicated due to the transient nature and non-uniformity of interior. The thermal sensation an automobile occupant affected by surrounding environment. Furthermore, existing standard was developed steady state controlled conditions it utilizes three indices, some which are not adapted this complex In article, standardized indices compar...
