desertification refers to land degradation phenomenon in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas, resulting from various factors including climate variation and human activities. for evaluation and mapping of desertification many research have been conducted leading to regional and local models. in this research, among different existing methods imdpa was selected and desertification intensity ...

desertification is specific phenomenon of arid, semi-arid, dry sub humid regions. this phenomenon has a high rate in developing countries such as iran. the main objective of this research was calibration of imdpa model in abuzeidabad (kashan) region with emphasis on land criteria. imdpa model, introduced by iranian researchers to assess desertification intensity in iran. before application, the...

Original scientific paper A Fuzzy Skinner Operant Conditioning Automaton (FSOCA) is constructed based on Operant Conditioning Mechanism with Fuzzy Set theory. The main character of FSOCA automaton is: the fuzzed results of state by Gaussian function are used as fuzzy state sets; the fuzzy mapping rules of fuzzyconditioning-operation replace the stochastic "conditioning-operant" mapping sets. So...

WePIGE illustrates a new approach for extracting fine-grained provenance information from XML artefact-based workflow executions. The extraction framework relies on the usage of XPath mapping rules for inferring data and service dependency links [2]. This demonstration illustrates the usage of the WePIGE graphical user interface for exploring the provenance graph generated by a predefined set o...

We report here on the results of a procedure for the determination of amphetamine drugs in hair. The procedure is simple and sensitive. The results from the procedure using small-volume extraction matches perfectly with those either from using the derivatization method or selected ion monitoring (SIM) detection. We validated our method using four different amine drugs, including amphetamine, me...

ISSN 2277 5080 | © 2014 Bonfring Abstract--Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is an inimitable technology in wireless communication. High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is a challenging issue in OFDM system. Large PAPR results in significant distortion in OFDM signal when passed through nonlinear high power amplifier. Selected mapping (SLM) is an efficient technique to reduce...

MODIS data is of significant for the classification of regional forest cover due to its high temporal resolution and high spectral resolution. Forest cover is an important parameter for forest ecosystem. The objective of this preliminary study is to mapping forest cover from mutli-temporal MODIS data with decision tree. The classification forest samples were selected from four global land cover...

I n this article we review state-of-the-art concepts of space mapping and place them contextually into the history of design optimization and modeling of microwave circuits. We formulate a generic space-mapping optimization algorithm, explain it step-by-step using a simple microstrip filter example, and then demonstrate its robustness through the fast design of an interdigital filter. Selected ...
