A forest canopy is a complex system with a highly structural multi-scale architecture. Physical based radiative transfer (RT) modelling has been shown to be an effective tool for retrieval of vegetation canopy biochemical/physical characteristics from optical remote sensing data. A high spatial resolution RT through a forest canopy requires several geometrical and structural parameters of trees...

We study the scalar wave scattering off the spherical cavity resonator with two finite-length conical channels attached. We use the boundary wall method to explore the response of the system to changes in control parameters, such as the size of the structure and the angular width of the input and output channels, as well as their relative angular position. We found that the system is more sensi...

introduction: knee joint has the highest percentage of injuries among lower extremity joints especially in athletes and people with high activity levels. therefore, analyzing of knee movements has an important area of research in the bioengineering and rehabilitation fields. sharif human movement instrumentation system (sharif-hmis) is a new inertial sensor designed for movement analysis. the p...

As experience with the one-point closure models for turbulence in current use has not been completely satisfactory, people have begun to search for other ways to predict turbulent flows. One alternative that has been suggested is large eddy simulation (LES) which, together with its more exact relative, direct numerical simulation (DNS), has had considerable success in the prediction of turbulen...

to examine hydraulics of lnapls in soil, the retention curves of diesel fuel and water were both determined by hanging column method. the soil retention parameters were obtained based on van genuchten, brooks-corey and campbell’s models. in addition, the soil hydraulic conductivity for both fluids were predicted based on mualem- brooks-corey, burdine- brooks-corey, mualem-van genuchten and camp...

Uniform angular resolution integral imaging display is proposed. Conventionally, inefficient bias of the perspectives around boundaries is disregarded and it is impossible to display the field of view over full spatial resolution. However, the proposed display has four boundary folding mirrors and these mirrors fold the view volumes correctly to form uniform angular resolution within them. The ...

Controlled transfer of orbital angular momentum to an exciton-polariton Bose-Einstein condensate spontaneously created under incoherent, off resonant excitation conditions is a long-standing challenge in the field of microcavity polaritonics. We demonstrate, experimentally and theoretically, a simple and efficient approach to the generation of nontrivial orbital angular momentum states by using...
