the main goal of this study was to compare of rainfall interception (i) by pinus eldarica and cupressus arizonica plantations afforested in the chitgar forest park in a semiarid climate zone of iran. from the september 2012 to september 2013, gross rainfall (gr) and throughfall (tf) were collected through 10 and 50 rain-gauges, respectively. i was calculated as the difference between gr and tf....

In the Internet, BGP is de facto inter-domain routing protocol. And it is vulnerable to a number of damaging attacks. Among these attacks, IP prefix hijacking and traffic interception are regarded as the serious threats in the Internet. There have been many incidents of IP prefix hijacking in the Internet. The hijacking AS can blackhole the hijacked traffic by introducing network unreachability...

Crop canopies and residues have been shown to intercept a significant amount of rainfall. However, rainfall or irrigation interception by crops and residues has often been overlooked in hydrologic modelling. Crop canopy interception is controlled by canopy density and rainfall intensity and duration. Crop residue interception is a function of crop residue type, residue density and cover, and ra...

Merchant, Hugo and Apostolos P. Georgopoulos. Neurophysiology of perceptual and motor aspects of interception. J Neurophysiol 95: 1–13, 2006; doi:10.1152/jn.00422.2005. The interception of moving targets is a complex activity that involves a dynamic interplay of several perceptual and motor processes and therefore involves a rich interaction among several brain areas. Although the behavioral as...

This paper reviews the development of the stochastic interception model from the original, single-layer, drop-size-dependent model to the two-layer model that recognizes that vegetation canopies are wetted through both the primary impact of raindrops to the top layer of the canopy and secondary impacts from drops falling from the vegetation to lower layers of the canopy. It is shown that drop v...

The effect of two training systems (Central Leader with branch pruning versus Centrifugal Training with minimal pruning, i.e., removal of fruiting laterals only) on canopy structure and light interception was analyzed in three architecturally contrasting apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) cultivars: 'Scarletspur Delicious' (Type II); 'Golden Delicious' (Type III); and 'Granny Smith' (Type IV). Tree...

This paper presents a novel approach to online, robot-motion planning for multiple movingobjects interception with constant acceleration. The position, velocity and acceleration of the free particles are used as kinematics information. This information is used to obtain the multiple interception trajectory. The polynomial interpolation technique is implemented in a 2D robot with to follow the f...

Developing applications that support evolution in a seamless way is not an easy task; in an early design stage, some concepts may be confused or some potential functionality not foreseen, resulting in bad separations of concerns. In this kind of designs, future changes may imply huge modifications if a highquality object-oriented model is the desired product. In theory, object oriented programm...
