Abstract This study aimed to accurately estimate daily wheat evapotranspiration using two remote sensing algorithms, Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) and Algorithm for Land (SEBAL), in central Khuzestan province during 2019–2020. The results of algorithms were compared with lysimeter (as a direct method), FAO-Penman–Monteith (FAO-PM), temperature-based methods (Hargreaves-Samani Blaney-Crid...

DIR. JOSEPH J. BUNIM: The patient whose course we shall discuss today offers an unusual opportunity to study the history of lupus erythematosus. The life history of this child is almost coincident with the natural history of this disease. We are grateful to Dr. Bernard Benjamin of Brooklyn, New York, for this referral, and for his accurate and complete records. Dr. Alfred J. Bollet: The patient...

During the past decade New Zealand has introduced far-reaching reforms in the structure and operation of government departments and agencies. This model has attracted interest in developing countries because it promises significant gains in operational efficiency. But developing countries, which are dominated by informal markets, are risky candidates for applying the New Zealand model. The auth...

In this paper, we study the Besov regularity of a general d-dimensional Lévy white noise. More precisely, we describe new sample paths properties of a given noise in terms of weighted Besov spaces. In particular, we characterize the smoothness and integrability properties of the noise using the indices introduced by Blumenthal, Getoor, and Pruitt. Our techniques rely on wavelet methods and gene...
