Assessing Landsat Images Availability and Its Effects on Phenological Metrics

Efficiency of Spectral Indices Derived from Landsat-8 Images of Maharloo Lake and Its Surrounding Rangelands

Maharloo Lake is one of the salty lakes located in the southeast of Fars province, Iran. Presence of salt domes has a significant role in its salinity. Magnesium-sodium chloride and sodium sulfate are dominant salts of the lake. Due to the drying up of lake, widespread lands surrounding the area are exposed to secondary salinity. It seems necessary to investigate the changes to find salinity le...

Assessing the Effects of Small Arms Availability

Component reuse metrics - assessing human effects

A new method for estimating the software development effort, Component Reuse Metrics, CRM, developed in this study, combines the best means of object-oriented component technology and the analysis of human behaviour into simple calculation rules. CRM uses the component structure of the products, which can be obtained from a CASEtool or from a configuration management system as a base for the ef...

Passive Web Browsing Behavior and Its Effects on Website Metrics

Getting deeper insights into the online browsing behavior of Web users has been a major research topic since the advent of the WWW. It provides useful information to optimize website design, Web browser design, search engines offerings, and online advertisement. We argue that new technologies and new services continue to have significant effects on the way how people browse the Web. For example...

The effects of phenological mismatches on demography.

Climate change is altering the phenology of species across the world, but what are the consequences of these phenological changes for the demography and population dynamics of species? Time-sensitive relationships, such as migration, breeding and predation, may be disrupted or altered, which may in turn alter the rates of reproduction and survival, leading some populations to decline and others...
