We have come a long way and finally are about to study calculus. Many of you might have taken some courses in the past where you learned a number of formulas to calculate the derivatives and integrals of certain functions. The purpose of this course, however, is not to memorize these formulas mindlessly. Rather, our goals are to understand the mathematical concepts underlying such formulas and ...

The monitoring of herbaceous fuel moisture content is a crucial activity in order to assess savanna fire risks. Faced with the difficulty of managing wide areas of vegetated surfaces, remote sensing appears an attractive alternative for terrestrial measurements because of its advantages related to temporal resolution and spatial coverage. Earth observation (EO)-based vegetation indices (VIs) an...

The aim of the paper is to develop evaluation criteria that enables one to analyse the efficiency and applicability of economic concepts dealing with the problem of environmental uncertainty; and to apply these criteria to some of the existing concepts. In order to analyse the applicability of the concepts, environmental uncertainty is divided according to different criteria (for example, the c...

The increasing diffusion of automation in all sectors of the industrial world gives rise to a deep modification of labor organization and requires a new approach to evaluate industrial systems efficiency, effectiveness, and economic convenience. Until now, the evaluation tools and methods at disposal of industrial managers are rare and even complex. Easy-to-use criteria, possibly based on robus...
