The objective in this work is to develop downscalingmethodologies to obtain a long time record of inundation extent at high spatial resolution based on the existing low spatial resolution results of the Global Inundation Extent fromMulti-Satellites (GIEMS) dataset. In semiarid regions, high-spatial-resolution a priori information can be provided by visible and infrared observations from theMode...

The principal instrument of the SWOT mission is KaRIn, a Ka-band interferometric SAR system operating on two near nadir swaths on opposite sides of the satellite track. This article describes the specificities of images from such a SAR system as compared to images acquired by conventional spaceborne SAR systems. Both radiometric and geometric aspects are covered.

يتناول هذا البحث بالدراسة فحول شعراء من العصر الجاهلي، وهم: «امرؤ القيس، وزهير، والنابغة الذبياني، والأعشى»، ويحاول رصد نسبة التصوير الفني القائم على الصورة البيانية بأنواعها «التشبيه والاستعارة والكناية»، والصورة القائمة الوصف اللغوي الحُرّ، مستفيداً إجراء إحصاء شامل يبيِّن الفروق الدقيقة للفنون «البلاغية البيانية» بين الشعراء المبحوثين، وذلك بقياس كل فن بلاغي لدى الشاعر الواحد، ونسبة ما يتفرع عنها...

BACKGROUND In the Americas, leishmaniasis is endemic in 18 countries, and from 2001 through 2015, 17 countries reported 843,931 cases of cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, and 12 countries reported 52,176 cases of visceral leishmaniasis. A Regional Information System (SisLeish) was created in order to provide knowledge of the distribution and tendency of this disease to analyze and moni...

SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis is a tool widely used to help in decision making in complex systems. It suits to exploring the issues and measures related to the conservation and development of local breeds, as it allows the integration of many driving factors influencing breed dynamics. We developed a quantified SWOT method as a decision-making tool for identif...
