Weyl semimetals (WSMs) have recently stimulated intensive interest because they exhibit fascinating physical properties and also promise exciting technological applications. So far, however, the few confirmed magnetic WSMs generally a large number of points either located away from Fermi level $({E}_{F})$ or shrouded by nontopological surface pockets. Based on first-principles density functiona...

Weyl semimetals (WSMs) are topological quantum states wherein the electronic bands disperse linearly around pairs of nodes with fixed chirality, the Weyl points. In WSMs, nonorthogonal electric and magnetic fields induce an exotic phenomenon known as the chiral anomaly, resulting in an unconventional negative longitudinal magnetoresistance, the chiral-magnetic effect. However, it remains an ope...

The purpose of this work was to find a method for locating redundant information between chapters of the same manual, by using the translation memory Transit provided by STAR group. A filter for comparing the similarity of sentences, Fuzzy filter, was set to assemble sentences with >50% recemblance and the results were saved. Concordance search—based on the result from the previous step and the...

Rice is the most important food crop in Asia, and the timely mapping and monitoring of paddy rice fields subsequently emerged as an important task in the context of food security and modelling of greenhouse gas emissions. Rice growth has a distinct influence on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) backscatter images, and time-series analysis of C-band images has been successfully employed to map rice...

As the web is escalating day by day, so people rely on the search engines to investigate the web. In this situation, the challenge for website owner is to provide relevant information to the users as per their needs and fulfill their requirements. The famous search engine Google used Hyperlink structure for ranking the web pages. There are various ranking algorithms are present for getting the ...

Satellite remote sensing is a valuable tool for monitoring flooding. Microwave sensors are especially appropriate instruments, as they allow the differentiation of inundated from non-inundated areas, regardless of levels of solar illumination or frequency of cloud cover in regions experiencing substantial rainy seasons. In the current study we present the longest synthetic aperture radar-based ...

Microphysics parameterization plays an important role in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP). Most NWP models, including the Weather Research Forecast (WRF) model, use single-moment (bulk water) schemes derived based on an assumption of the exponential distribution with a fixed intercept parameter for raindrop size distributions (DSDs) such as the Marshall-Palmer (M-P) DSD model (Marshall and Pa...

Floods represent the most devastating natural hazards in the world, affecting more people and causing more property damage than any other natural phenomena. One of the important problems associated with flood monitoring is flood extent extraction from satellite imagery, since it is impractical to acquire the flood area through field observations. This paper presents a method to flood extent ext...

The Laptev Sea is one of the main source regions of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean. Most ice forms in winter in a prominent, quasi-permanent flaw lead or polynya (region of open water), separating landfast from drifting sea ice. In winter 2003/2004 we have deployed two seafloor moorings in the polynya, equipped with sensors to continuously observe ice, water, and sediment properties. In parallel, ...

Beauveria bassiana (Bb) strain GHA is a major component of an integrated pest management (IPM) program for coffee berry borer (CBB) in Hawai‘i. Efforts to measure effectiveness spray applications have been complicated by activity naturally-occurring Bb. Studies were thus designed provide more accurate efficacy assessments accounting this natural activity. BotaniGard® ES + Widespread Max® (WSM) ...
