Web resources exploration is increasingly driven by semantic web technologies with automated processing. Earth science communities generate large amounts of datasets described in hundreds of millions of metadata records. It is critical to discover the accurate data from the millions of data records based on the end user’s searching intent. However, the big challenge is how to ensure that catalo...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is one of the most widely grown cereal crops in Ethiopia. It is a staple food crop on which the lives of millions of poor Ethiopians depend. It has tremendous uses for the Ethiopian farmer and no part of this plant is ignored. Sorghum grows in a wide range of agroecologies most importantly in the moisture stressed parts where other crops can least survive and food inse...

Simultaneous EEG-fMRI acquisitions in patients with epilepsy often reveal distributed patterns of Blood Oxygen Level Dependant (BOLD) change correlated with epileptiform discharges. We investigated if electrical source imaging (ESI) performed on the interictal epileptiform discharges (IED) acquired during fMRI acquisition could be used to study the dynamics of the networks identified by the BOL...

Türkçe bir kelime olan yel, varlığın yaratılışıyla ilgili dört unsurdan biri hava ile ilişkilidir. Farsça kökenli rüzgâr kelimesi de dilimizde yel birlikte yaygın kullanıma sahiptir.

Along the Mid-Atlantic coast of the United States, there are different sub-populations, or stocks of bottlenose dolphins. The bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, has both resident and migratory stocks. The focus of this study is the northern migratory population. This group of animals moves north and south along the coast in response to seasonal changes. The need for study arises from this ...

Wetlands exert major impacts on global biogeochemistry, hydrology, and biological diversity. The extent and seasonal, interannual, and decadal variation of inundated wetland areas play key roles in ecosystem dynamics. Despite the importance of these environments in the global cycling of carbon and water and to current and future climate, the extent and dynamics of global wetlands remain poorly ...

Regional land cover information is needed for a wide variety of applications, ranging from land use planning to water quality modeling. Multi-temporal Landsat-7 ETM+ imagery, extensive field measurements, historical air photos, and various other digital geographic data sets are being acquired by the Mid-Atlantic Regional Earth Science Applications Center (MA-RESAC), a NASA-sponsored activity ce...
