Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPotential Environmental and Health Impacts of High Land Application of Cheese WheyA. E. Ghaly, N.S. Mahmoud, D.G. Rushton, F. ArabA laboratory scale experiment was carried out to study the transformation and transport of nitrogenous compounds in soils receiving high application rates of cheese whey (twice the nitrogen requirement for crops). The experimental apparatus consists of 36 soil columns constructed of 20 cm inside diameter PVC pipes. Three types of soil (sandy loam, loam and sandy clay loam) and three … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,155 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordVery High Resolution Optical Satellites: An Overview of the Most Commonly usedPasquale MaglioneVery High Resolution (VHR) satellite systems are platforms whose sensors acquire high geometric resolution images. Since 1972, when the first satellite was launched (Land sat ERTS), the spatial resolution of the satellite image has increased, making Ground Sample Distance (GSD) reaching 0.30 m at Nadir in panchromatic images. In this paper, after a brief introduction, concepts relative to orbits, types … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2016 · 9,059 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordLand Surface Temperature Retrieval by Using ATCOR3_T and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index Methods in Penang IslandK. C. Tan, H. S. Lim, M. Z. MatJafri, K. AbdullahProblem statement: Many studies have been devoted to establish the methodology for retrieval of LST from single channel algorithm by utilizing Landsat satellite images. However, this method required many atmospheric parameters to retrieve LST. Thus, it is very difficult to acquire the complete information for atmospheric parameters. Approach: While for ATCOR3_T, this method can be used to retrieve LST without … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,497 accessesView PDF Cite
