On 2 June 2014, at about 13 UTC, a dust storm arrived in Tehran as severe hazard that caused injures, deaths, failures power supply, and traffic disruption. Such an extreme event is not considered common for the area, which has raised question of storm’s origin need increasing citizens’ preparedness during such events. The analysis observational data numerical simulations using coupled dust-atm...

Remote monitoring of natural afforestation processes on abandoned agricultural lands is crucial for assessments and predictions forest cover dynamics, biodiversity, ecosystem functions services. In this work, we built the general approach combining satellite field data mapping developed a simple robust method dynamics assessment. This based Landsat imagery index-based thresholding specifically ...

Face clustering is a task to partition facial images into disjoint clusters. In this paper, we investigate a specific problem of face clustering in videos. Unlike traditional face clustering problem with a given collection of images from multiple sources, our task deals with set of face tracks with information about frame ID. Thus, we can exploit two kinds of prior knowledge about the temporal ...

Gameplay in real-time strategy games seems somehow to be confined to a de facto standard where economical micromanagement is equally important as combat strategy, if not more important. To enable stronger combat-oriented gameplay without sacrificing other key aspects of the genre, we propose an automated system for scheduling unit training, which we believe may allow the exploration of new para...

Rangeland ploughing and cultivation using dry land farming crops may be amajor reason for the destruction of natural resources in the semiarid and sub-humid regionswhich may significantly change the composition and reduce the stability of the affectedcommunities. In present research, an abandoned ploughed site was compared with a nearbyreference site in the semiarid rangelands of Baharkish, Quc...
