The issue of using remotely sensed surface temperature to estimate the area-average sensible heat flux over surfaces made up of different vegetated patches has been investigated. The performance of three aggregation procedures, ranging from physically based through semi-empirical, to entirely empirical has been assessed by comparing measured and simulated area-average sensible heat flux. The re...

in this research, a semi empirical approach has been suggested for calculating the activation energyof unimolecular thermal decomposition of vinyl ethers yielding saturated products. the calculationprocedure is based on the use of molecular mechanics (mm) methods. these methods which involvethe construction of the transition state for a molecule mainly consider the formation of a “hydrogenbridg...

this paper reports the results of using three empirical methods (makkink, priestley-taylor and hargreaves) for estimating the reference evapotranspiration (et0) in the semi-arid region of tensift al haouz, marrakech (center of morocco). the penman-monteith equation, standardized by the food and agriculture organization (fao-pm), is used to evaluate the three empirical methods. the obtained et0 ...

conformations and electronic properties of a series of imidazobenzodiazepines are investigated by am1 semi-empirical quantum mechanics method. it is shown that substitution of cl in position 7 instead of 8, changes the geometry of the seven membered lactam ring; this may put the n5 nitrogen in a better positon to act as a hydrogen bond acceptor, and the phenyl ring in position 6 is probably mor...
