Geometry Dependence of Vegetation Attenuation on Isolated Single Trees
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The dependence of vegetation attenuation on propagation geometry has been experimentally investigated at SHF band for isolated single trees. Two measurement heights (Trunk and Canopy) have been used in these experiments that involve three fully foliated trees, Common Whitebeam (Sorbus aria), Silver Maple (Acer Saccharinum) and Common Hazel (Corylus Avellana). Result shows that apart from frequency (f) and depth of penetration into vegetation (d), measurement geometry is another key parameter that determines the extent of signal loss in vegetation.

Spectrally-dependent attenuation of microwaves by vegetation canopies
A wide-band waveguide transmission system and measuring technique have been developed to obtain continuous attenuation spectra of microwaves by vegetation in the frequency range 0.8–10.0 GHz. Laboratory experiments have been performed in order to examine the spectral dependence of the attenuation by different trees and tree fragments. Some results are presented showing the distinct difference o...
متن کاملAttenuation of morphine tolerance and dependence by thymoquinone in mice
Objectives: Dependence and tolerance are major restricting factors in the clinical use of opioid analgesics. In the present study, the effects of thymoquinone, the major constituent of Nigella sativa seeds, on morphine dependence and tolerance were investigated in mice. Materials and Methods: Male adult NMRI mice were made tolerant and dependent by repeated injections of morphine (50, 50, and 7...
متن کاملThe Energy Dependence of the Photoelectric Attenuation Coefficient of Substances
Introduction: The photoelectric attenuation coefficient of substances is known to depend upon the energy E of the photon and the effective atomic number of substances (Zeff) as (Zeffx/Ey). No definitive values about these indices x, y are given in the literature. The index x is said to lie between, 3.0 and 4.0, while for ‘y’ different values have been assigned, between 3.0 and 4.0. Method...

Oak is the most important forest tree in Kurdistan province (Iran). Fungi are associated with oak trees as parasite, saprophyte and endophyte. The endophytic fungi are known components of biodiversity and have beneficial effects on host plants. During 2012-13 in a survey on endophytic fungi of oak trees in forest regions of Kurdistan province asymptomatic samples were collected from healthy twi...
متن کاملMicrowave backscatter and attenuation dependence on leaf area index for flooded rice fields
-Wetlands are important for their role in global climate as a source of methane and other reduced trace gases. As part of an effort to determine whether radar is suitable for wetland vegetation monitoring, we have studied the dependence of microwave backscatter and attenuation on leaf area index (LAI) for flooded rice fields. We find that the radar return from a flooded rice field does show dep...
