This paper presents the results of geological engineering research conducted to determine character rock masses, recommendations tunnel excavation method and support system based on standup time estimates in unsuported conditions. The investigation was by observing mass quality newest bore log sample test 2019 using Rock Mass Rating (RMR) Geological Strength Index (GSI) classification. showed t...

We report observations of three SDSS z > 6 QSOs at 250 GHz (1.2 mm) using the 117-channel MaxPlanck Millimeter Bolometer (MAMBO-2) array at the IRAM 30-meter telescope. J1148+5251 (z = 6.41) and J1048+4637 (z = 6.23) were detected with 250 GHz flux densities of 5.0±0.6mJy and 3.0±0.4 mJy, respectively. J1630+4012 (z = 6.05) was not detected with a 3σ upper limit of 1.8 mJy. Upper flux density l...

BACKGROUND A simulation model that relies on satellite observations of vegetation cover from the Landsat 7 sensor and from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) was used to estimate net primary productivity (NPP) of forest stands at the Bartlett Experiment Forest (BEF) in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. RESULTS Net primary production (NPP) predicted from the NASA-CAS...

Identification of the onset of vegetation greenup is a key factor in characterizing and monitoring vegetation dynamics over large areas. However, the relationship between greenup onset dates estimated from satellite imagery and the actual growth stage of vegetation is often unclear. Herein, we present an approach for comparing pixel-level onset dates to regional planting and emergence informati...

We investigate the problem of automatically labelling appearances of characters in TV or film material. This is tremendously challenging due to the huge variation in imaged appearance of each character and the weakness and ambiguity of available annotation. However, we demonstrate that high precision can be achieved by combining multiple sources of information, both visual and textual. The prin...

Agricultural practices are continually changing at various spatial and temporal scales in response to local management decisions and environmental factors. However, few regional scale land use/land cover (LULC) classifications have focused on characterizing the agricultural sector, particularly on a regular basis to reflect croprelated land use changes that occur from year to year. More detaile...

Improved and up-to-date land use/land cover (LULC) datasets are needed for intensively cropped regions such as the U.S. Central Great Plains, in order to support a variety of science and policy applications focused on understanding the role and response of the agricultural sector to environmental change issues. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) holds considerable promise...

A self-organized In0.53Ga0.47As/(In0.53Ga0.47As)2(In0.44Al0.56As)2 quantum wire (QWR) laser was grown on a (775)B InP substrate by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Well lattice-matched and flat cladding layers were grown at a rather high temperature (595 C). Lateral confinement potential was induced by a nano-meter scale interface corrugation of InGaAs/(InGaAs)2(InAlAs)2 with an amplitude of 2 nm ...

We present an extensive review of the literature on remote sensing and land change in Amazonia as part of a call for new methods to study the recent expansion of mechanized annual cropping. Following the review is a presentation of the use of multitemporal Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 250-meter Vegetation Index (VI) data to study processes of intensification of mechaniz...
