Annually much agricultural productions are lost by natural hazards such as flooding, extreme temperature, and drought. In this research we present a procedure to identify such hazards for rice cropping from remote sensing imagery. Extreme temperature is investigated by comparing actual temperatures with tolerance temperatures during the growing stage. Drought is investigated using the evapotran...

Tesserae is a web-based tool for automatically detecting allusions in Latin poetry. Although still in the start-up phase, it already is capable of identifying significant numbers of known allusions, as well as similar numbers of allusions previously unnoticed by scholars. In this article, we use the tool to examine allusions to Vergil’s Aeneid in the first book of Lucan’s Civil War. Approximate...

The sediment nature and processes are the key to the understanding of the marine ecosystem, and can explain particularly the presence of soft-substrata habitats. For predictions of the occurrence of species and habitats, detailed sedimentological information is often crucial. This paper presents a methodology to create high quality sedimentological data grids of grain-size fractions and the per...

Climatic parameters’ modeling is very important in environmental data processing. This is a consequence that climatic parameters vary dramatically in time and space. Moreover, the climate variables are dependent to each other and also to earth surface conditions such as height. The other problem is that climatic parameters are measured as a point based variables in weather stations. However, fo...

Anaplasmosis, caused by infection with bacteria of the genus Anaplasma , is an important veterinary and zoonotic disease. Transmission ticks has been characterized but little known about non-tick vectors livestock anaplasmosis. This study investigated presence spp. in camels northern Kenya whether hematophagous camel ked, Hippobosca camelina acts as a vector. Camels ( n = 976) > 10,000 keds ...
