The reflected radiation by observed surface is highly dependent on both sun illumination and satellite observation angles. These two angles are also described, respectively, as incident and reflected angles. The geometry-dependence of surface reflectance is usually corrected by a tailored Bi-directional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF). It is the most common tool used to eliminate or to...

The behavior of the Feynman-Kac propagator corresponding to a time-dependent measure on Rn is studied. We prove the boundedness of the propagator in various function spaces on Rn, and obtain a uniqueness theorem for an exponentially bounded distributional solution to a nonautonomous heat equation.

An analysis of notifications of tuberculosis in the City of Birmingham during the three-year period 1960-62 related to the population data from the Census of 1961 showed important differences between the notification rates of groups defined by their place of birth, and also differences in the age distributions of notification rates between these groups (Springett, 1964). A survey of notificatio...

Approximate equations are derived for the amount of information a nerve cell or group of nerve cells can transmit about a stimulus of a given duration using a frequency code (i.e., assuming the mean frequency of nerve impulses measures the intensity of a maintained stimulus). The equations take into account the variability of successive interspike intervals, and any serial correlations between ...

Atmospheric aerosol properties and land surface reflectance can be retrieved from dual-angle AATSR measurements. In this paper a map of aerosol optical depth at 550 nm covering the Sahel and Southern Sahara region is presented. The map is a composite of thirtytwo 500 km wide AATSR strip-lines acquired throughout March 2003. Verification is performed using the MODIS and MISR global aerosol produ...

We study the notion of molecules in coorbit spaces. The main result states that if an operator, originally defined on an appropriate space of test functions, maps atoms to molecules, then it can be extended to a bounded operator on coorbit spaces. For time-frequency molecules we recover some boundedness results on modulation spaces, for time-scale molecules we obtain the boundedness on homogeno...

Marshal Ash [3] introduced the concept of (σ, τ) differentiable functions and studied the Riemann generalized derivatives In this article we study the convexity and monotonicity of (σ, τ) differentiable functions, using results by Hincin, Humke and Laczkovich, and using the Riemann generalized derivative. We give conditions such that the classic properties of differentiable functions hold also ...

This paper describes an approach to modeling the sums of a continuous random variable over a number of measurement occasions when the number of occasions also is a random variable. A typical example is summing the amounts of time spent attending to pieces of information in an information search task leading to a decision to obtain the total time taken to decide. Although there is a large litera...

Topological properties of the spaces of analytic test functions and distributions are investigated in the framework of the general theory of nonarchimedean locally convex spaces. The Laplace transform, topological isomorphism, is introduced and applied to the differential equations of nonarchimedean mathematical physics (Klein-Gordon and Dirac propagators).
