this research develops an allometric model for estimation of biomass based on the height and dbh of trees in the hyrcanian forests of iran. an accurate allometric model reduces the uncertainty of allometric equation in biomass estimation using radar images. in this study, 317 trees were selected randomly from the 4 different dominant tree species for the development of an allometric model cover...

Introduction: Scattered photon is one of the main defects that degrade the quality and quantitative accuracy of nuclear medicine images. Accurate estimation of scatter in projection data of SPECT is computationally extremely demanding for activity distribution in uniform and non-uniform dense media. Methods: The objective of this paper is to develop and validate a scatter correction technique ...

Water Quality plays an important role in attaining a sustainable aquaculture system, its cumulative effect can make or mar the entire system. The amount of dissolved oxygen (DO) alongside other parameters such as temperature, pH, alkalinity and conductivity are often used to estimate the water quality index (WQI) in aquaculture. There exist different approaches for the estimation of the quality...

the forecasting of hydrological variables, such as streamflow, plays an important role in water resource planning and management. recently, the development of stochastic models is regarded as a major step for this purpose. streamflow forecasting using the arima model can be conducted when unknown parameters are estimated correctly because parameter estimation is one of the crucial steps in mode...
