Land condition assessment is a basic prerequisite for finding the degradation of a territory, which might lead to desertification under climatic and human pressures. The temporal change in vegetation productivity is a key indicator of land degradation. In this paper, taking the Otindag Sandy Land as a case, the mean normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI_a), net primary production (NPP) a...

Temperature is one of the most important climate variables that many economic and social plans related to its changes. Because of The importance of this issue, this study investigated the changes of it in the province Khuzestan. Meteorological data that used in this study is mean temperature in annual and seasonal timescale. The study area is Abadan, Ahwaz, Dezful and Omidiye stations. For anal...

This paper outlines a new approach to determining the effect of part complexity on the cost of manufacturing a composite part. It also describes a methodology for predicting cost based on complexity that uses the techniques of Method Time Measurement (MTM). The proposed methodology offers a relatively simple method to predict the fabrication time of a complex component. It is based on the theor...

E Kendal l was b o r n o n 8 t h M a r c h 1886 in South Norwalk, Connecticut, USA. Kendall obtained the degrees of Bachelor of Science in 1908, Master of Science in 1909, and Ph. D. in Chemistry in 1910. From 1910-1911 he worked as a research chemist with Parke Davis where his main task was to isolate thyroid hormones.1 He continued to work on thyroid harmones till 1914 while working at St. Lu...

Water yield (WY) refers to the difference between precipitation and evapotranspiration (ET), which is vital for available terrestrial water. Climate change has led significant changes in on a global scale, will affect WY. Nevertheless, how WY changed during past few decades factors dominated are not fully understood. In this study, based climate reanalysis remote sensing data, spatial temporal ...

Streamflow is an important factor in the study of water resource management, floods, and droughts. Dramatic climate change has created extreme rainfall distributions, making the study of streamflow trends and variability even more crucial. In this study, the long-term streamflow data and trends recorded at gauging stations in Northern Taiwan are analyzed using the Mann-Kendall test. The data us...

Extreme rainfall frequency analysis for Meteorological Sub-Division 4 of India was analyzed using Lmoments approach. Serial Correlation and Mann Kendall tests were conducted for checking serially independent and stationarity of the observations. The discordancy measure for the sites was conducted to detect the discordant sites. The regional homogeneity was tested by comparing with 500 generated...
