This paper intends to describe the functionalities offered by the remote and virtual control laboratory available in the Department of Informatics Engineering of the University of Coimbra (Portugal) that allows users to perform experiments in an intelligent tutoring system context. The platform and some remote and virtual realtime control experiments, basically in the area of Systems and Contro...

introduction soil salinity and expansion tts it, in the arid and semi-arid areas is including environmental issues that in recent years attention has been due to population growth and the need to utilizeland. in order to human was tried that using of different techniques determined salinity area between remote sensing data in recent years have provided relatively accurate results as a source of...

Data mining methods have been widely applied on the area of remote sensing classification in recent years. In these methods, neural network, rough sets and support vector machine (SVM) have received more and more attentions. Although all of them have great advantages on dealing with imprecise and incomplete data, there exists essential difference among them. Until now, researches of these three...

We present an approach for remote operation of instruments in the Internet environment. We have applied this approach to in-situ electron microscopy experiments that require dynamic interaction with the specimen under observation, as it is excited with external stimuli, i.e., temperature variation, EM eld variation, etc. The dynamic operations include control of the sample's position and orient...

Remote sensing is useful in several modes of oil spill control, including large area surveillance, site specific monitoring and tactical assistance in emergencies. Remote sensing is able to provide essential information to enhance strategic and tactical decision-making, potentially reducing incidence of spills by providing a deterrent factor, decreasing response costs by facilitating rapid oil ...

the kalut-e-ashrafa area is located in the north-east of ardakan area in central iran, yazd province. this area promises copper mineralization. the most of the minerals in this study area are silica-rich veins and veinlets. therefore, in order to identify geological formations with silica zones and to determine potential mineralization areas, aster images and remote sensing methods were used. a...

Flood disaster is one of the natural disasters those have the highest occurrence frequency. Remote sensing plays an active and important role in the flood disaster management such as monitoring, evaluation, emergency response and so on. Affected by the characteristics of flood disaster, emergency response for flood disaster must be guaranteed by a high quality and speedy remote sensing data res...

A recent report by Cipolotti et al. demontrates that the hippocampus and perhaps the parahippocampal area are essential for retrieval of remote episodic memory and important for remote semantic memory. This report, along with other recent findings, re-opens the debate about the role of these medial temporal lobe structures, indicating that their role extends much further than traditional theory...

With the arrival of the big data era in Earth observation, the remote sensing communities have accumulated a large amount of invaluable and irreplaceable data for global monitoring. These massive remote sensing data have enabled large-area and long-term series Earth observation, and have, in particular, made standard, automated product generation more popular. However, there is more than one ty...
