Currently gravity irrigation remains the most widely used in agricultural areas and 90 percent of plantings, the water is applied to the plots by gravity. One of the main problems with these systems is erosion, which is a by product of the erosive forces of water over the row, which brings soil loss and therefore decreases in crop yield. Erosion is the removal of surface soil material caused by...

Seven species of Eugenia from eastern littoral forests in Madagascar are newly proposed. Six occur in or near the forests of Petriky, Mandena, or Sainte Luce near Tolagnaro in the southeast, including Eugenia guajavoides, Eugenia manonae, Eugenia petrikensis, Eugenia stictophylla, Eugenia roseopetiolata and Eugenia stibephylla. The seventh, Eugenia vanwykiana, occurs in the Analabe littoral for...

The mixing of pollutions and sediments in near shore regions of natural water bodies depends heavily on the characteristics such as the strength and frequency of flow instability. In the present paper, the instability of natural convection induced by absorption of solar radiation in littoral regions is considered. Spectral analysis is conducted on the quasi-steady state flow to reveal the power...

Castleman's disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown origin, and littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a rare vascular tumor of the spleen with an unknown etiology. The current study reports the case of a 28-year-old female who presented with anemia, growth retardation and amenorrhea. Physical examination revealed a mass in the mesentery, splenomegaly with multiple small nodules,...

This paper highlights SSC San Diego contributions to the research and development of hyperspectral technology. SSC San Diego developed the real-time, onboard hyperspectral data processor for automated cueing of high-resolution imagery as part of the Adaptive Spectral Reconnaissance Program (ASRP), which demonstrated a practical solution to broad area search by leveraging hyperspectral phenomeno...
