A computationally efficient method is developed to simulate the radiances in a scattering and absorbing atmosphere along an arbitrary path in the spectral region ranging from visible to far-infrared with a spectral resolution of 1 cm. For a given spectral region, the method is based on fitting radiances pre-calculated from the discrete ordinate radiative transfer (DISORT) at several wavenumbers...

Abstract: Earth observation (EO) sensors deliver data at daily or weekly intervals. Most land use and land cover classification (LULC) approaches, however, are designed for cloud-free and mono-temporal observations. The increasing temporal capabilities of today’s sensors enable the use of temporal, along with spectral and spatial features. Domains such as speech recognition or neural machine tr...

Tony Thomas presented us with a challenge in setting up this workshop—to make the connection between quark and hadronic degrees of freedom. I have accepted this challenge and will go even further by attempting to make contact between the physics of Tony Thomas and that of Ulf Meissner! My point of contact will be the study of low energy baryon phyics, studied a number of years ago by Tony and h...

The Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) is a state instrument whose primary duty in the field of defense to safeguard sovereignty. history TNI's involvement guarding long journey nation began even before Indonesia's independence when it was still carried out form people's resistance body and regional. During New Order era, TNI, which had received special rights known as Dual Function ABRI, f...

O presente trabalho pretende, a partir da hermenêutica desenvolvida pelo filósofo Hans- Georg Gadamer, investigar o conceito de jogo e sua relação com concepção além do âmbito epistemológico, mais precisamente, em seu ontológico, isto é, através noção jogo, trabalhada por almejamos pensar não somente epistemologicamente, mas modo que nos abri caminho para compreensão, onde toda problemática sur...

Consumers used to run software on their own devices and store their data at home. They are now increasingly dependent on service-providers for both functionality and data-storage. Risk assessment techniques need to be applied to consumer contexts. These are diverse, covering many kinds of consumer devices, many different consumer profiles, and various consumer needs. A preliminary evaluation co...

Radiative transfer in clouds is a challenging task, due to their high spatial and temporal variability which is unrivaled by any other atmospheric species. Clouds are among the main modulators of radiation along its path through the Earth’s atmosphere. The cloud feedback is the largest source of uncertainty in current climate model predictions. Cloud observation from satellites, on a global sca...

We present two–dimensional slab–jet simulations of jets in inhomogeneous media consisting of a tenuous hot medium populated with a small filling factor by warm, dense clouds. The simulations are relevant to the structure and dynamics of sources such as Gigahertz Peak Spectrum and Compact Steep Spectrum radio galaxies, High Redshift Radio Galaxies and radio galaxies in cooling flows. The jets ar...

Selecting a particular summative (i.e., formally equivalent to a probability distribution) kernel when filtering a digital signal can be a difficult task. To circumvent this difficulty, one can work with maxitive (i.e., formally equivalent to a possibility distribution) kernels. These kernels allow to consider at once sets of summative kernels with upper bounded bandwith. They also allow to per...

La présence de sans-abri usagers drogues à Bogotá est marquée par des tensions constantes. Des manifestations d’extrême violence contre eux, dont certaines sont systématiques, persistent depuis plusieurs décennies dans la capitale colombienne. À travers le prisme d’une démarche ethnographique et réflexion historique, propos cet...
