a better understanding of rangeland vegetation cover and its variation in different years basedon wetness and droughtiness fluctuations is a great importance. economical priority setting ofrangelands is based on variations in rainfall and drought patterns, because it yields to bettercharacterization of vegetative cover. yet a comprehensive and continuous monitoring ofvegetative cover of rangela...

Meta-analyses reveal that nutrient yields tend to be higher for watersheds dominated by anthropogenic uses (e.g., urban, agriculture) and lower for watersheds dominated by natural vegetation. One implication of this pattern is that loss of natural vegetation will produce increases in watershed nutrient yields. Yet, the same meta-analyses also reveal that, absent land-cover change, watershed nut...

The communication problem is to select a minimal set of placed sensor devices in a service area so that the entire service area is accessible by the minimal set of sensors. Finding the minimal set of sensors is modeled as a vertex-cover problem, where the vertex-cover set facilitates the communications between the sensors in a multi-hop fashion keeping in mind the limited communication range an...

to determine the suitable indices for vegetation cover and production assessment based on the remote sensing data, simultaneous digital data with field data belonging to the spring rangeland of the semirom-isfahan province were analyzed. during two years of monitoring the annual, grass, forb, and shrub vegetation cover and the total production data from 86 were collected. the global positioning...

Data hiding or information is a prominent class of security that aims at reliably conveying secret data embedded in cover object over covert channel. Digital media such as audio, image, video, and three-dimensional (3D) can act objects to carry

Steganography is the ability to hide secret information in a cover-media such as sound, pictures and text. A new approach is proposed to hide a secret into Arabic text cover media using "Kashida", an Arabic extension character. The proposed approach is an attempt to maximize the use of "Kashida" to hide more information in Arabic text cover-media. To approach this, some algorithms have been des...
