The Kashmir Valley is immensely susceptible to soil erosion due its diverse topography and unstable geological formations in the Himalayan region. present study helps assessing spatial distribution prioritizing zones Central region covering Sindh Dachigam catchments. implemented GIS-based analytic hierarchy process (AHP) weighted sum method (WSM) using datasets of precipitation, map, satellite ...

Wildfires significantly affect the boreal ecosystem of Siberia. However, records on burnt areas and fire impact are still not satisfactory in Russia. The dense smoke from active burning and the persistent cloud covers impeded the application of optical sensors to the detection of burnt area in Siberia forest during the summer fire season. The high resolution SAR data are of limited use for burn...

Accurate geolocation of SAR imagery enables not only precise overlays with other data sources in a common map geometry, but also normalisation for the systematic influence of terrain on image radiometry. We begin by describing our verifications of the geometric behaviour of ENVISAT ASAR products, including all image mode (IM), alternating polarisation (AP), and wide swath (WS) types: IMS, IMP, ...

Correlated topological phases (CTPs) with interplay between topology and electronic correlations have attracted tremendous interest in condensed matter physics. Therein, correlated Weyl semimetals (WSMs) are rare nature and, thus, so far been less investigated experimentally. In particular, the experimental realization of interacting WSM state logarithmic Fermi velocity renormalization has not ...

Earth Observation is a powerful tool for the detection of floods. Microwave sensors are typically favored as they deliver data enabling water detection independent of solar illumination or cloud cover conditions. However, scale issues play an important role in radar based flood mapping. Depending on the flood related phenomenon under investigation, some sensors might be more suitable than other...

Within the Project – “Developing Strategies for Regulating and Managing Water Resources and Demand in Water Deficient Regions (WSM)” funded by the EU in 5 Research Framework Program, the Ribeiras do Algarve River Basin was chosen as a case study to develop a DSS for planning purposes. Located in the southern stretch of the Portuguese territory, crucial conflicts do exist between tourist and agr...

Tourism activities essentially represent the interaction between crowds and attractions. Thus, crowd dynamics are critical to quality of tourism experience in personalized tour recommendations. In order generate dynamic, routes, this paper develops a tourist trip design problem with (TTDP-CD), which is quantified indicators derived from mobile tracking data terms flow, interaction, structure. T...

As a new type of quantum state matter hosting low energy relativistic quasiparticles, Weyl semimetals (WSMs) have attracted significant attention for scientific community and potential device applications. In this study, we present comprehensive investigation the structural, magnetic, transport properties noncentrosymmetric R AlSi ( = Sm, Ce), which been predicted to be magnetic WSM candidates....

Endophytic bacteria are known to contain various bioactive substances. Pineapple peel (Ananas comosus L.) is a waste product utilized in environmental preservation. The present study focused on the isolation of endophytic from pineapple peel, and assessment their antibacterial activity. ethyl acetate extracts isolated were tested for activity using disc diffusion method. components bacterial ex...

Whole-stand Models (WSM) have always been fitted with permanent plot data organised in a sequential age-matched database, i.e., i and i+1, where = 1, 2, ... N measurements. The objectives of this study were (1) to evaluate the statistical efficiency monthly distributed structure by fitting models Clutter (1963), Buckman (1962) version modified A. L. da Silva et al.
