This study employs Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) to estimate environmental impact of salt plugs using Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER). VNIR and SWIR datasets of ASTER were assessed in mapping and detecting Jahani, Konarsiah, and Kohe Gach salt plugs and the affected areas located at SE Shiraz, Iran. PC color composite and geological map of the region were u...

The RV Investigator is Australia’s new noise quietened Marine National Facility (MNF) vessel built to comply with the DNV silent-R specification. This radiated noise specification was based on the ICES 209 CRR specification designed with the main goal of minimising vessel avoidance for fisheries surveys. Noise quietening was specified for RV Investigator to improve the acoustic detection of ins...

Thermal anomalies can be detected with the help of imagery provided by satellite systems such as Advanced Spaceborne Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER). ASTER provides five thermal bands for effective analysis anomalies. In order to achieve this goal, considering physical phenomena, many signal processing methods algorithms used. study, depending on studied area, heat characteristics ex...

Hyperspectral images (HSI) contain a wide range of information, the most prominent technology for observing earth. However, using an original HSI high-dimensional datacube, classification task faces significant challenges since it has high computational cost. As result, dimensionality reduction is indispensable. A dimension method been introduced in this paper, including feature extraction and ...

Leakages in water distribution systems have great economic and environmental impacts are a major issue for utilities. In this work, the balance Minimum Night Flow (MNF) method evaluating amount of loss, as well power Fixed Variable Area Discharge (FAVAD) equations analyzing relationship between leakage pressure, were applied to fully monitored District Metered (DMA) located Gorino Ferrarese (FE...

Abstract In the new world view, water is considered an economic-social commodity and a basic human need. This work aims to investigate relationship between corrosion changes in minimum night flow (MNF) rate systems. Changes MNF as dependent variable are affected by independent variables such total unreported loss, allowed consumption, network field leakage. First of all, share loss due was inve...

Rationale: The ? 2 -adrenoceptor (? -AR), a prototypical GPCR (G protein-coupled receptor), couples to both G s and i proteins. Stimulation of the -AR is beneficial humans animals with heart failure presumably because it activates downstream -PI3K-Akt cell survival pathway. Cardiac signaling can be regulated by crosstalk or heterodimerization other GPCRs, but physiological pathophysiological si...

The effects of forage type and forage:concentrate ratio (F:C) on apparent nutrient digestibility, ruminal fermentation, and microbial growth were investigated in goats. A comparison between liquid (LAB) and solid (SAB)-associated bacteria to estimate microbial N flow (MNF) from urinary purine derivative excretion was also examined. Treatments were a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of forage type (g...

The lead-zinc-barium deposits of the southern Benue Trough, Nigeria belong to a suite clastic dominated fracture filling hydrothermal vein deposits. alteration types and spread are poorly known yet required aid exploration. Band ratio composites (BRC), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Minimum Noise Fraction (MNF) were applied full scene Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission Reflection Radiome...
