Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impact of Climate Change Upon Winter RainfallNuman Shehadeh, Sabah AnanbehClimatic models that project the impact of climate change upon rainfall in the Eastern Mediterranean region predict that the negative impact will be more pronounced upon winter rainfall rather than Fall or Spring rainfall where instability conditions become more pronounced. Those models, also, predict that, due to the great geographical diversity, projected rainfall trends in the above region will show … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 24 Feb 2013 · 7,569 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial Durbin Model to Identify Influential Factors of DiarrheaRokhana Dwi Bekti, SutiknoProblem statement: An analysis of regression modeling which influenced by the characteristics of the region is very important. That modeling is the spatial autoregressive model. One type of spatial autoregressive model is a Spatial Durbin Model (SDM), which performs a lag effect of the dependent and independent variables. This model was developed because the dependencies in the spatial relationships doesn’t … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 13 Oct 2012 · 8,282 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadiometric Correction of Multitemporal Satellite ImagerySeema Gore Biday, Udhav BhosleProblem statement: Repeated observation of a given area over time yields potential for many forms of change detection analysis. These repeated observations are confounded in terms of radiometric consistency due to changes in sensor calibration over time, differences in illumination, observation angles and variation in atmospheric effects. Also major problem with satellite images is that regions below clouds are not … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,393 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Soil Characteristics in Low Flows RegionalizationPaolo Vezza, Claudio Comoglio, Alberto Viglione, Maurizio RossoProblem statement: For the purpose of low flows regionalization, relevant issue for water resources management like environmental flows requirements definition, this study focused on the controls on the seasonal and spatial variability of q95 (i.e., the specific discharge that was exceeded on 95% of all the time) with particular reference to the role of soil characteristics, that, like soil infiltration … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 6,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWeighting Spatial Information in GIS for Copper Mining ExplorationFarhad Hosseinali, Ali Asghar AlesheikhExploration of new mines is vitally important for human life. Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) can be effectively used in the gathering, weighting, analyzing and presenting spatial and attribute information to facilitate the mine exploration process. The success of mine exploration largely depends on: the identification of governing factors, the determination of their impacts and the selection of suitable models to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,603 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing IRS Products to Recover 7ETM+ Defective ImagesMobasheri Mohammad Reza, Sadeghi Naeini AliOn May 31st, 2003, Landsat 7 faced an anomaly in the Scan Line Corrector (SLC) normal operation. This malfunctioning of SLC caused the individual scan lines alternately overlap each other and consequently produce large gaps at the edges of the image. Regarding the unique specification of ETM+ sensor on board of Landsat-7 satellite such as its spectral bands in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,963 accessesView PDFCite
