wepp model needs a great deal of input data.  identifying the model’s sensitive parameters and their prioritization increases the accuracy and efficiency of the model. on the other hand, wepp model can simulate processes affecting on runoff, erosion and sediment throughout the year. thus, model sensitivity must vary based on the storm occurrence time and parameters value in different sections o...

Our goal is a registration algorithm capable of aligning image pairs having some combination of low overlap, large illumination differences (e.g. day and night), substantial scene changes and different modalities. Our approach starts by extracting and matching keypoints. Rankedordered matches are tested individually in succession. Each is used to generate a transformation estimate in a small im...

More than 2 people out of 10 suffer from allergies, which can take various forms, from eczema to anaphylactic reactions with possible lethal consequences. Diagnosis is achieved through so-called prick-tests or IDR (intradermo-reaction): the injection of a small quantity of substances suspected to cause the allergic manifestation induces an erythema, the size of which is a useful indicator for t...

Heat units, expressed in growing degree-days (GDD), are frequently used to describe the timing of biological processes. The basic equation used is GDD = [(T,,, + TM,,)/2] T,,,,, where T, and T,,, are daily maximum and minimum air temperature, respectively, and T,, is the base temperature. Two methods of interpreting this equation for calculating GDD are: (1) if the daily mean temperature is les...

The two main schemes for coding triangle mesh connectivity traverse a mesh with similar region-growing operations. Rossignac’s Edgebreaker uses triangle labels to encode the traversal whereas the coder of Touma and Gotsman uses vertex degrees. Although both schemes are guided by the same spiraling spanning tree, they process triangles in a different order, making it difficult to understand thei...
