[1] Here we describe, test, and apply a spatially explicit, global model for predicting dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) export by rivers to coastal waters (NEWS-DIN). NEWS-DIN was developed as part of an internally consistent suite of global nutrient export models. Modeled and measured DIN export values agree well (calibration R = 0.79), and NEWS-DIN is relatively free of bias. NEWS-DIN pred...

Nowadays, spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has become a powerful tool for providing significant wave height (SWH). Traditionally, validation of SAR derived SWH has been carried out against buoy measurements or model outputs, which only yield an inter-comparison, but not an “absolute” validation. In this study, the triple collocation error model has been introduced in the validation of ...

This paper presents the first comparison between repeat-pass coherence from ASAR and JERS-1 SAR. To reduce the influence of temporal decorrelation, repeat-pass pairs acquired during the winter season have been selected. ASAR 35day coherence and JERS-1 44-day coherence from six different test areas in Siberia and northern Europe have been evaluated. The results indicate that the decorrelation is...

The categorization of “Iran’s handicrafts” at the intersection “Westernism discourse” with “Orientalism in Qajar period

The technique of Persistent Scatterers Interferometry allows the accurate measurement of ground displacements and overcomes the drawbacks of classical differential interferometry. Recently, the phase measurement continuity between ERS and ASAR has been demonstrated. In this contribution, we propose an approach for the use of ASAR IMS HH images together with ERS data and the ASAR ERSlike mode. I...

uring the reign of the fourth Qajar king, Naser-ad-Din Shah (who reigned from 1848–1896), the Chief Minister, Amir Kabir, was involved in modernization of Iran. He founded the first modern higher educational institute in Iran the so called “Dar al-Fonun” (House of Techniques) in 1851. One of the subjects taught there was medicine; now, it is considered a major step in promulgation of modern med...

Din, mitoloji ve gelenek üçgeninde divan şairinin duygu, düşünce hayalleriyle birçok edebî tür farklı nazım şekilleriyle yazılmıştır. Münazaralar da şiirinde sıkça görülen türler arasındadır. Kökeni Sümerce Akadca metinlere kadar dayanan münazaralar ulusların edebiyatlarında karşımıza çıkar. Diyaloğun esas alındığı münazaralarda somut-soyut tüm varlıkların karşılaştırılması mümkündür. Karşılaşt...

As patrons and editors, I and Dr. Mirza had to work on few very vital issues. First and foremost concern was that it should not be looked upon an isolated Indo-Pak venture! Though in the first five years, 2/3rd of the contributions are from these two neighboring countries, the other 1/3rd valuable share comes from all parts of the globe (Table 1 and Fig. 1). We have an international reach now. ...
