Thermal mapping has been implemented since the late eighties to determine road ice susceptibility. It consists in measuring road pavement temperature along with some other atmospheric parameters to build a winter risk. Measurements are done using a vehicle embedded into the traffic in given road weather conditions. If the dew point temperature is lower than road surface temperature there is a r...

the highest temperatures of the world are recorded in dry and warm climates. this can especially be observed in deserts, where vegetations and soil moisture are very low. as a result, the soil surface receives high thermal energy and its temperature rises up. the lut desert has the above characteristics, making it a suitable environment to prepare land surface temperature (lst) models. objectiv...

the quantitative structure-property relationship (qspr) method is used to develop the correlation between structures of refrigerants (198 compounds) and their critical temperature. molecular descriptors calculated from structure alone were used to represent molecular structures. a subset of the calculated descriptors selected using a genetic algorithm (ga) was used in the qspr model development...
