A frame $L$ is called {it coz-dense} if $Sigma_{coz(alpha)}=emptyset$ implies $alpha=mathbf 0$. Let $mathcal RL$ be the ring of real-valued continuous functions on a coz-dense and completely regular frame $L$. We present a description of the socle of the ring $mathcal RL$ based on minimal ideals of $mathcal RL$ and zero sets in pointfree topology. We show that socle of $mathcal RL$ is an essent...

Abstract Species demanding specific habitat requirements suffer, particularly under environmental changes. The smallest owl of Africa, the Sokoke Scops Owl ( Otus ireneae ), occurs exclusively in East African coastal forests. To understand movement behaviour and demands O. , we combined data from radio-tracking remote sensing to calculate Distribution Models across Arabuko forest southern Kenya...

The roe deer is an important game animal in Turkey. The aim of the current study was to determine the likely distribution area and habitat preferences of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus (L., 1758)) in Duzce Province. The species was observed by wildlife camera traps and direct or indirect observation methods in different habitats in a total of 75 sampling sites during the period between 2013 and ...

In this paper, a new feature called 3D edge oriented gradient histogram of slide blocks is proposed for human action recognition, based on the idea that the slide area of human body edge can be seen as a spatio-temporal silhouette surface when human performing a certain action in video. This feature is processed by defining dense 3D spatio-temporal slide blocks on the spatio-temporal silhouette...

Some of the most effective recent methods for content-based image classification work by extracting dense or sparse local image descriptors, quantizing them according to a coding rule such as k-means vector quantization, accumulating histograms of the resulting “visual word” codes over the image, and classifying these with a conventional classifier such as an SVM. Large numbers of descriptors a...

In pristine conditions, Mediterranean Europe was covered by dense forests during all Pleistocene and in more recent warm periods. Combined with its rather northern position this means that at that time, apart from in coastal environments, lizard habitats would have been present only where open places were formed by the action of storms, natural fires and the erosive forces of rivers. The latter...

Meteorological simulation tools to model gas exchange phenomena within forests require well defined information of forest structure (e.g., 3D forest models) as a basis for the computation of the turbulent flow shaped by the drag of the vegetation. The paper describes techniques to obtain 3D data describing forest stands from dense terrestrial laser scanner point clouds. In a first step, stems a...

extract of BP-3 strain was found to have significant inhibitory effect on the test strains viz: E.coli (MTCC 40), Staphlococcus aureus (MTCC87),Proteus vulgaris(MTCC426), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC 424). Identification of the bacteria was carried out using biochemical tests, 16SrRNA sequencing and sequences submitted to the NCBI GenBank Maryland USA and awarded with the accession number H...

In this paper, microwave emission data collected with the multi-channel radiometer AMSRE in 20022004 on some test sites, have been related to surface features obtained from ground information and cartography. The areas, selected in different climatic regions of the world, are characterized by various meteorological conditions and vegetation covers, from tundra to dense forests. In general, the ...

This paper reviews the recent development of surface-reaction-limited pulsed chemical vapor deposition (SPCVD) technique for the growth of TiO2 one-dimensional nanostructures. SPCVD uses separated TiCl4 and H2O precursor pulses, and the anisotropic growth of TiO2 crystals is attributed to the combined effects of surface recombination and HCl restructuring at high temperature during elongated pu...
