The University of Denver’s remote sensor for on-road motor vehicle carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions was used in August and October, 1991, a t two different locations in the Denver area. The results of analysis for HC emissions show a similar skewed distribution for the two data sets, although the average HC emissions are very different for the two data sets because different ...

Java’s support for parallel and distributed processing makes the language attractive for metacomputing applications, such as parallel applications that run on geographically distributed (wide-area) systems. To obtain actual experience with a Java-centric approach to metacomputing, we have built and used a high-performance wide-area Java system, called Manta. Manta implements the Java Remote Met...

This study addresses the design issues of an intelligent system for image understanding applied to remote sensing minefield area reduction. We propose a system using a combination of image processing techniques and a knowledge-based intelligent scheme that interactively cooperate together to produce a danger map of the surveyed area. This contribution suggests a semantic knowledge-based scene i...

Hippocampal lesions often produce temporally graded retrograde amnesia (TGRA), whereby recent memory is impaired more than remote memory. This finding has provided support for the process of systems consolidation. However, temporally graded memory impairment has not been observed with the watermaze task, and the findings have been inconsistent with context fear conditioning. One possibility is ...

A research project aimed at evaluating the microwave remote sensing methods for producing some basic parameters of land surfaces which in ̄uence the hydrological cycle, on a regular basis, has been conducted within the framework of the European Northern Hemisphere Climate Processes Land-surface Experiment (NOPEX) and Forest-Dynamic and Monitoring (ForestDynamo) experiments. In this paper, the se...

The present work aims to introduce an efficient set of high spatial resolution (HSR) images in order to more fairly evaluate building detection algorithms. The introduced images are chosen from two recent HSR sensors (QuickBird and GeoEye-1) and based on several challenges of urban areas encountered in building detection such as diversity in building density, building dissociation, building sha...

introduction the ramand area, southwest of buin- zahra, about 60 kilometers from qazvin, lies in the igneous belt of the urmieh-dokhtar region, the main structural zone of north-central iran. rhyodacite and rhyolite lava flows are the principal host rocks of mineralization and alteration of the area, most of which occurs in faulted and brecciated zones alongmaj or northwest-trending fault syste...

In the fifth development plan establishment, establishment of the Cadastre System of agriculture nationwide has been defined to be the work priority of institutions and organizations responsible in the area of agriculture and equity issuance in the country. In this study, the possibility of provision of the Cadastral mapping of agriculture by a integration of the data of the remote sensing and ...

The purpose of this paper is to present an innovative method to record traffic accidents by using small remote-controlled robots as the distance-measuring devices. Bluetooth wireless modules are also combined for remote control and data communication. Unlike traditional methods using a ruler or measuring tape as a distance-measuring device, this technological development allows remote-controlle...
