We have come a long way and finally are about to study calculus. Many of you might have taken some courses in the past where you learned a number of formulas to calculate the derivatives and integrals of certain functions. The purpose of this course, however, is not to memorize these formulas mindlessly. Rather, our goals are to understand the mathematical concepts underlying such formulas and ...

The monitoring of herbaceous fuel moisture content is a crucial activity in order to assess savanna fire risks. Faced with the difficulty of managing wide areas of vegetated surfaces, remote sensing appears an attractive alternative for terrestrial measurements because of its advantages related to temporal resolution and spatial coverage. Earth observation (EO)-based vegetation indices (VIs) an...

The mantle rocks from Kadaboura and Madara areas represent sections of dismembered ophiolitic complexes developed during the Neoproterozoic in Eastern Desert Egypt, which is located northwestern corner Arabian–Nubian Shield. comprise serpentinites serpentinized dunites, whereas those consist pyroxenites.Despite serpentinization studied rocks, few relicts primary chromite, olivine pyroxene are p...

An analytic study was conducted on coupled partial differential equations. We formally derived new solitary wave solutions of generalized coupled system of Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) and KdV equations by using modified extended tanh method. The traveling wave solutions for each generalized coupled system of ZK and KdV equations are shown in form of periodic, dark, and bright solitary wave solution...
