The main objective of this study was to examine the implications watershed management (WSM) on hydrological parameters in Aba Gerima Upper Blue Nile Basin. Hydrus 1D model simulations were conducted control sites and under WSM estimate various components hydrologic cycle, using different soil physical & data each category experimental sites. Results calibrated with measured moisture through...

The aim of this paper is to assess the change detector r specifically elaborated to analyse ENVISAT ASAR Wide Swath Mode (WSM) data pairs for plain flood changes detection. The algorithm relies on an enhanced ratio for strong changes over large homogeneous and flat areas combined with a ratio calculated from the two raw images. The change detection assessment was conducted on 14 image pairs exp...

We used data from the National Survey on Violence against Women in France carried out in 2000 on a representative sample of 6,970 women to compare the social characteristics of women who had sex with women (WSW) and women who had sex only with men (WSM). The WSW were more likely to be of a high socio-economic level and living in large cities. They were more frequently unmarried, without childre...

in this experiment 240 hy-line (w-36) laying hens from 65 to 75 weeks distributed in 5 treatments and 4 replicates (12 birds per replicate) in a completely randomized design were used. the amounts of watermelon skin meal (wsm) used to set the treatments were 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2% in 1 to 5 experimental groups. the results showed that using wsm up to 2% significantly improved the performance and...

We discuss the algorithm and the implementation of a procedure to optimize both system and processing parameters for ASAR-WSM. The impact of the optimized setting is shown by comparing the quality measured on the early mission acquistions (non-optimized), with the later one, achieved after tuning both instruments and processing parameters.

Keeping Japanese quail is an economic way for producing egg, because of their early sexual maturity (laying egg after 35 days), high egg production (250–270 eggs per year), resistance to most of poultry disease and great egg production persistency on a high level (approximately 14–18 months) (MURAKAMI and ARIKI, 1998). Japanese quail maturation happens in about 6 weeks of age and mature females...

Considering a non-centrosymmetric, non-magnetic double Weyl semimetal (WSM) SrSi$_2$, we investigate the electron and hole pockets in bulk Fermi surface behavior that enables us to characterize material as type-I WSM. We study structural handedness of correlate it with distinct at two opposite surfaces following an energy evolution. The arc singlet becomes doublet onset spin orbit coupling is a...

Dependencies among the tasks performed by web services affect how the web services are composed. We propose an approach to managing dependencies among tasks in order to support web services composition. We define BT-DML, a markup language to express dependencies. We describe a prototype system called web services manager (WSM) that implements this language to support various tasks in web servic...

BACKGROUND Sexual minority women are more likely than heterosexual women to have ever experienced intimate partner violence (IPV). Although IPV is associated with sexual risk and poor reproductive health outcomes among US women overall, little is known about whether IPV is related to sexual and reproductive health indicators among sexual minority women in particular. METHODS Baseline data fro...
