identification of the best vegetation indices (vis) for use in quantitative analyzes of vegetation is one of the important issues for ecologists. the objective of this study was sensitivity evaluation of vegetation indices to a stand volume for identification of the best vegetation index (vi) in stand volume estimation using a statistical sensitivity method. also, another objective of this stud...

in this research with using of obtained information from a natural fraxinus the variation of quantities and qualitative measures of current stand in an 8 year period was conducted in chelir part of kheyroud forest. data collection was conducted by full callipering method in two periods of 1384 and 1392. during the period of study the parameters of dominant mean height and relative crown height ...

We investigate the nature of charge transport in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) using self-assembled layers of DNA in large-area molecular junctions. A protocol was developed that yields dense monolayers where the DNA molecules are not standing upright, but are lying flat on the substrate. As a result the charge transport is measured not along the DNA molecules but in the transverse direction, acr...

Humans are capable of pointing to a target with accuracy. However, when vision is distorted through a visual rotation or mirror-reversed vision, the performance is initially degraded and thereafter improves with practice. There are suggestions this gradual improvement results from a sensorimotor recalibration involving initial gating of the somatosensory information from the pointing hand. In t...
