The urban heat island phenomenon occurs as a mixed result of anthropogenic heat discharge, decreased vegetation, and increased artificial impervious surfaces. To clarify the contribution of each factor to the urban heat island, it is necessary to evaluate the surface heat balance. Satellite remote sensing data of Tainan City, Taiwan, obtained from Terra ASTER and Formosat-2 were used to estimat...

The area of interest is located on the eastern flank of the Andean Cordillera, San Juan province, Argentina. The 3600 km2 area is characterized by Siluro-Devonian to Neogene sedimentary and igneous rocks and unconsolidated Quaternary sediments. Epithermal, porphyry-related, and magmatic-hydrothermal breccia-hosted ore deposits, common in this part of the Frontal Cordillera, are associated with ...

All sorts of anomaly graphs of physical geography and geochemistry, such as aeromagnetic anomaly graphs, bouguer gravity anomaly graphs, regional geochemical anomaly graphs and so on, are all parameters for exploration deposit. And following the remote sensing image shortwave and infrared bands coming, researchers of remote sense have engaged in many highly effective experiments and have approv...

Sperm aster involvement in the determination of the plane of bilateral symmetry of the future embryo as well as pronuclear movement and orientation has been investigated in the amphibian egg. The procedure involved injecting very small amounts of disrupted sperm cells into the subcortical region of the egg of the toad Bufo arenarum. Using this procedure we have previously shown that structural ...

There are an increasing number of digital elevation models (DEMs) available worldwide for deriving elevation differences over time, including vertical changes on glaciers. Most of these DEMs are heavily post-processed or merged, so that physical error modelling becomes difficult and statistical error modelling is required instead. We propose a three-step methodological framework for assessing a...

The accuracy assessments of the orthorectification of ASTER imagery carried out using twelve different mathematical models are presented. For performing the orthorectification, 77 ground control points (GCPs) and a digital elevation model (DEM) generated from stereo ASTER images were utilized. The mathematical models used include two rigorous and ten simple geometric models. Among the twelve mo...
