satellite data have been used for temperature modeling both in urban areas and water. this paperstudies viability of aster satellite images that provide high spatial and spectral resolution to model watersurface temperature, as a fundamental water quality parameter. this study is focused on dez dam reservoirresiding in khuzestan province, south west of iran. after the image corrections required...

the study on water level fluctuation in the urmia lake has become of a great importance in recent years. this is due to the importance of the position of this lake as a natural heritage at an international level. the water level decrease at the urmia lake during the recent years has made it necessary to address the matter more than before. investigation and assessment of changes in the lake is ...

satellite imagery was used as a rapid and spatially explicit method to delineate crop residue cover and to estimate the use and intensity of conservation tillage. the potential of multispectral high-spatial resolution of worldview-2 local data was evaluated using 11 satellite spectral indices and linear spectral unmixing analysis (lsua). experimental plots were examined; residue cover was measu...

land cover mapping is important for many planning and management activities. today, satellite images and remote sensing techniques are extensively used in all sectors including agriculture and natural resources because they provide updated data and high analyzing abilities. in this study, in order to produce land cover map for the northern part of hamedan province , digital satellite data irsp6...

Unmanned space servicing requires an ability to capture a free-floating satellite, replace a module and deploy the satellite using a robotic arm. As direct teleoperation from the ground is not possible due to limitations of the communication link (delay, bandwidth and intermittence) the servicers will therefore have to operate with a certain degree of autonomy. The need for autonomy is particul...

Skeletal muscle is one of a several adult post-mitotic tissues that retain the capacity to regenerate. This relies on a population of quiescent precursors, termed satellite cells. Here we describe two novel markers of quiescent satellite cells: CD34, an established marker of hematopoietic stem cells, and Myf5, the earliest marker of myogenic commitment. CD34(+ve) myoblasts can be detected in pr...

Satellite networking is different from wired or wireless networks. TCP/IP performance and behavior with respect to normal wireless network and wired networks are different from one another. As the architecture of TCP/IP protocol was not designed to perform well over high-latency or noisy channels and so its performance over satellite networks are totally different. The properties of satellite c...
