— This paper introduces a new rain removal model based on the shrinkage of the sparse codes for a single image. Recently, dictionary learning and sparse coding have been widely used for image restoration problems. These methods can also be applied to the rain removal by learning two types of rain and non-rain dictionaries and forcing the sparse codes of the rain dictionary to be zero vectors. H...

interpolation, the generalization of point data to scatter data, and combining maps are three cases of important applications of gis. in this study, it has been tried to make the estimation of rain erosion capacity (fournier method) more real through using gis capability in interpolation and the generalization of point data to scatter data. in fournier method, the rain erosion capacity is calcu...

The last tidal encounter between M82 and M81, some 500 Myr ago, had a major impact on what was probably an otherwise normal, quiescent disc galaxy. It caused a concentrated burst of star formation in the form of massive star clusters, which decreased rapidly, within a few 100 Myr. The current starburst in the centre of the galaxy is likely either due to large-scale propagating star formation or...

Over the past five decades, the importance of rain forests has reached beyond their boundaries to play a critical role in national and international trade, economic development, and politics. This increased dependency on rain forests by national governments has to led to extensive deforestation throughout the world. The destruction of rain forests has caused concern among forest dwellers, envir...

The increased interest in the use of Ka band frequencies in satellite communications has prompted extensive propagation studies and the development of several rain fade models in the past, all of which are based on measurements from geostationary satellites only. Based on novel data, which has been experimentally obtained from the low earth orbit microsatellite ‘FedSat’, this paper addresses th...

The problem with these sentences is that their linguistic meaning fails to determine a truth-condition for their utterances. For instance, the linguistic meaning of (1) is just that it is raining at the time of utterance (where the temporal information is supposed to be encoded in the present tense), but there is no word which stands for a locational aspect. The semantics of the sentence thus s...

Rain attenuation is a major shortcoming of microwave transmission. J.S Ojo1, 2, M.O Ajewole1, S.K Sarkar2. An improved approach of predicting rain attenuation cumulative. rain attenuation formula Approach for determining the values of rain attenuation at different.Attenuation due to rain is an important constraint in the designing of the microwave. The paper presents a new prediction model of r...
