A practical approach was developed in the study for drought monitoring in Guangdong province of China on the basis of vegetation supply water index (VSWI) and precipitation distance index (PDI). A comprehensive index for assessment of agro-drought severity (SADI) was then established from the normalized VSWI and PDI. Using MODIS satellite images and precipitation data from ground-observed meteo...

climate change has various effects on the quantity of rainfall and warming also is lead to increases in frequency and intensity of droughts by accelerating earth drying up and consequently. it is effective on the curves of severity- duration- frequency of drought (sdf). the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of climate change on sdf curves in the future in qareh su basin located i...

OBJECTIVE To report the physiological monitoring of intraocular pressure (IOP) during the postoperative periods after orbital decompression surgery and ascertain the correlation between the clinical factors and IOP changes. METHODS The medical records of 113 orbits from 60 patients who underwent orbital decompression surgery were reviewed retrospectively. IOP measurement during the postoperat...

drought is universal phenomenon that can occur everywhere and can cause harmful impacts on human beings and natural ecosystems. thus, it is very important to study drought character ristics part of for water resources management. in this study, the standardized precipitation index (spi) is used for drought frequency analysis in isfahan province. after collecting the precipitation data in the pr...
