Soil degradation is a global phenomenon affecting the productivity of agricultural land. Due to low vegetation cover and aggressive climate, Morocco presents significant case soil through erosion desertification. The Ouergha catchment highly vulnerable this scourge. objective study was assess sensitivity land in area. MEDALUS approach, widely used Mediterranean region, soils degradation/deserti...

This work aims to compare the performance of new methods to estimate the Soil Moisture Content (SMC) of bare soils from their spectral signatures in the reflective domain (0.4-2.5 µm) in comparison with widely used spectral indices like Normalized Soil Moisture Index (NSMI) and Water Index SOIL (WISOIL). Indeed, these reference spectral indices use wavelengths located in the water vapour absorp...

The bare metal stent (BMS) used in the blood vessel caused the restenosis after the operation due to formation and proliferation of neointimal. Recently, as a method to overcome the problems of BMS, drug eluting stent (DES) is developed and being applied to human body which has drug reducing restenosis applied on the metal surface. DES has the advantage of greatly reducing the restenosis after ...

The Bare Bones language is a programming language with a minimal set of operations that exhibits universal computation. We present a conceptual framework, Chemical Bare Bones, to construct Bare Bones programs by programming the state transitions of a multifunctional catalytic particle. Molecular counts represent program variables, and are altered by the action of the catalytic particle. Chemica...

purpose: to assess parameters that had a capability of influencing the rate of big bubble formation during deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (dalk) in keratoconus. methods: a total of 290 consecutive eyes from 257 patients with keratoconus that underwent dalk using the big-bubble technique were enrolled. the influence of patient age and sex, family history of keratoconus, history of contact l...

Microwave brightness temperature measurements were made over three different bare soils at frequencies of 5 GHz (X = 6 cm) and 1.67 GHz (X = 18 cm) to compare differences in penetration depth according to texture, soil moisture, and wavelength. The soil plots were wetted, and circularly polarized microwave measurements were made during the dry-down cycle. Soil profile temperature and profile mo...

A K-matrix re-analysis of the Kπ S-wave is performed in the mass region 900− 2100 MeV, and solutions which describe the data well are found. The solution with two resonances in the (IJP = 1 20 +)-wave has poles at (1415 ± 25)i(165 ± 25) MeV and (1820 ± 40) -i(125 ± 50) MeV, close to the previous result of D. Aston et al., Nucl.Phys., B296 (1988) 493. The corresponding bare states, which are the...

conclusions this study confirms that primary pci revascularization is the best treatment for the acute st elevation mi with brilliant acute result and one- year high survival and acceptable cardiac and non-cardiac complications. studying the effects of using des and bms on long term cardiac mortality, morbidity and need to target vessels revascularization (tvr) shows that performing the pci in ...

Pedological maps in suitable scales are scarce most countries due to the high costs involved soil surveying. Therefore, methods for surveying and mapping must be developed overpass cartographic material obtention. In this sense, work aims at assessing a digital map (DSM) built by multispectral data extrapolation from source area target using ASTER time series modeling technique. For that proces...
