Terrestrial remote sensing data products retrieved from radiometric measurements in the optical and thermal infrared spectrum such as vegetation spectral indices can be heavily contaminated by atmospheric conditions, including cloud aerosol layers. This contamination results gaps or noisy observations. The harmonic analysis of time series (HANTS) has been widely used for reconstruction imagery ...

The objective of the present research was the characterisation of fire hazard using temporal sequences of land surface temperature (LST) derived from Terra-MODIS measurements. The investigation was based on a complete sequence of MODIS LST data from 2000 to 2006 on Campania (Italy) and on a dataset of fires officially recorded in the area in the same period. Missing and/or cloudy LST data were ...

The official opening of the Direct Bournemouth Railway is a good text for a description of that rising West Hants watering-place. Bournemouth has been growing in favour, and competing vigorously with other and older towns over which it has unquestionable advantages, the chief being its comparative newness. Some wateringplaces like Weymouth have had an existence of several generations, and their...

pared with 61% of vagotomy and drainage patients. In the gastrectomy group only 30% gained weight compared with 54% of the other group. In the vagotomy and drainage group the results were simili after either truncal or selective vagotomy and after either pyloroplasty or gastrojejunostomy. True dumping as distinct from small-stomach syndrome is rare in patints on a rice diet, and was seen less o...

Moisture supply in the Pamir Mountains of Central Asia significantly determines the hydrological cycle and, as a result, impacts the local communities via hazards or socioeconomic aspects, such as hydropower, agriculture and infrastructure. Scarce and unreliable in situ data prevent an accurate assessment of moisture supply, as well as its temporal and spatial variability in this strongly-heter...
