Introduction:  The  success  of  hyperthermia  depends  on  the  accuracy  of  the  temperature  monitoring in the tumor and the surrounding normal tissue. In this study, the temperature changes  were determined by computing the speckle displacement in the ultrasound digital images. Speckle  tracking algorithm was used to compute the displacement.  Materials and Methods: The experiment was perf...

Abstract. We present methods to evaluate the spatial patterns of geographic distribution soil properties in USA, as shown gridded maps produced by digital mapping (DSM) at global (SoilGrids v2), national (Soil Properties and Class 100 m Grids USA), regional (POLARIS properties) scales compare them known from detailed field surveys (gNATSGO gSSURGO). The are illustrated with an example, i.e. top...

[1] The spatial distribution of subsurface soil textural properties across the landscape is an important control on the hydrological and ecological function of a watershed. Traditional methods of mapping soils involving subjective assignment of soil boundaries are inadequate for studies requiring a quantitative assessment of the landscape and its subsurface connectivity and storage capacity. Ge...

Improving Soil Texture Digital Mapping Using Landsat 8 Satellite Imageries in Calcareous Soils of Southern Iran

Saline lakes can increase the soil and water salinity of the coastal areas. The main aim of this study is to distinguish the characteristics of the spectral reflectance of saline soil, analyze the statistical relationship between soil EC and characteristics of the spectral reflectance of saline soil, and to map soil salinity east of the Maharloo Lake. The correlation between field measurements ...
