Traditional decision support systems based on crop simulation models are normally site-specific. In policy formulation, however, spatial variability of crop production often need to be evaluated due to different soil conditions, weather conditions and agricultural practices within a target-region. To address the spatial variability, a spatial model “Spatial EPIC” was developed based on a crop s...

Context. The second XMM-Newton serendipitous source catalogue, 2XMM, provides the ideal data base for performing a statistical evaluation of the flux cross-calibration of the XMM-Newton European Photon Imaging Cameras (EPIC). Aims. We aim to evaluate the status of the relative flux calibration of the EPIC cameras on board the XMM-Newton observatory (MOS1, MOS2, and pn) and investigate the depen...
