SPATIAL RESOLUTION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE APPLICATION OF TEMPERATURE AND EMISSIVITY SEPARATION (TES) ALGORITHM OVER URBAN AREAS

Spatial Resolution Requirements for the Application of Temperature and Emissivity Separation (TES) Algorithm Over Urban Areas

Current thermal infrared satellite images are full of mixed pixels.This work is a quantitative analysis, based on radiative transfer modelling, of the distribution of mixed pixels and their impact on the use of temperature and emissivity separation (TES).TES was applied to radiance images of the cities of Basel and Heraklion simulated at different

Diurnal Serianthes nelsonii Merr. leaflet paraheliotropism reduces leaflet temperature, relieves photoinhibition, and alters nyctinastic behavior

The diel cycle of Serianthes nelsonii leaflet movements was characterized under four levels of shade from full sun to 22% sunlight transmission to determine the photoprotective components of diurnal leaflet movements and the relationship to patterns of nocturnal leaflet movements.Treatments also included negating paraheliotropism by re-orienting pl

Linking chemical and disease entities to ontologies by integrating PageRank with extracted relations from literature

Abstract Background Named Entity Linking systems are a powerful aid to the manual curation of digital libraries, which is getting increasingly costly and inefficient due to the information overload.Models based on the Personalized PageRank (PPR) algorithm are one of the state-of-the-art approaches, but these have low performance when the disambigua

Potassium Deficiency in Palms

This document is about symptoms of potassium (K) deficiency among palm Power Control Circuit Board species.This disease appears first on the oldest leaves.Older leaflets of some palms such as Dictyosperma album (hurricane palm) are mottled with yellowish spots that are translucent when viewed from below.In other palms such as Dypsis cabadae (cabada
