Although balance control is an integral component of all daily activities, its complex and flexible nature makes it difficult to assess adequately. This paper discusses balance by examining it in relation to function and the physical environment. Balance is affected by both the task being undertaken and the surroundings in which it is performed. Different tasks and environments alter the biomec...

Accurate crop performance monitoring and production estimation are critical for timely assessment of the food balance of several countries in the world. Since 2001, the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) has been monitoring crop performance and relative production using satellite-derived data and simulation models in Africa, Central America, and Afghanistan where ground-based monit...

Remote sensing has long been a useful tool in global applications, since it provides physically-based, worldwide, and consistent spatial information. This paper discusses the potential of using these techniques in the research field of water management, particularly for ‘Water Footprint’ (WF) studies. The WF of a crop is defined as the volume of water consumed for its production, where green an...

Lake water level fluctuation is a function of hydro-meteorological components, namely input, and output to the system. The combination these components from in-situ remote sensing sources has been used in this study define multiple scenarios, which are major explanatory pathways assess lake levels. goal analyze each scenario through application balance equation simulate largest Iran, Urmia, sel...

Assessments of power in couples' relationships often only survey one partner, but they do not take into consideration both partners' perceptions. Thus, many assumptions about power and equality in relationships have not been quantitatively tested due to a lack of dyadic measures of power. Therefore, the purpose of the Gender and Relationships Study was to develop and test a new scale of equalit...

Land use changes are altering the hydrologic system and have potentially large impacts on water resources. Rapid socio-economic development drives land use change. This is particularly true in the case of the rapidly developing city of Pune, India. The present study aims at analyzing past land use changes between 1989 and 2009 and their impacts on the water balance in the Mula and Mutha Rivers ...
