This article presents AgriExp, a remote-based workflow for the rapid mapping and monitoring of archaeological cultural heritage locations endangered by new agricultural expansion encroachment. Our approach is powered cloud-computing data cataloguing processing capabilities Google Earth Engine it uses all available scenes from Sentinel-2 image collection to map index-based multi-aggregate yearly...

Land degradation is becoming one of the severest environmental issues in the world, especially in developing nations. Land degradation, usually accompanied by soil erosion, always results in a decrease or complete loss of land productivity, and produces on-site and off-site pollution to soil and water. The methods for land reclamation are various, including physical, chemical and biological. Th...

The relationship between land use and stream chemistry is often explored through synoptic sampling of rivers at baseflow conditions. However, baseflow chemistry is likely to vary temporally and spatially with land use. The purpose of our study is to examine the usefulness of the synoptic sampling approach for identifying the relationship between complex land use configurations and stream water ...

An approach is proposed in the present study to estimate soil erosion data-scarce Kokcha subbasin Afghanistan. The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model used erosion. satellite-based data are obtain RUSLE factors. results show that slight (71.34%) and moderate (25.46%) dominated basin. In contrast, high (0.01%) insignificant area. highest amount of observed Rangeland (52.2%) follow...

Hybrid quantum-classical variational algorithms are one of the most propitious implementations quantum computing on near-term devices, offering classical machine-learning support to scale solution spaces. However, numerous studies have demonstrated that rate at which this space grows in qubit number could preclude learning deep circuits, a phenomenon known as barren plateaus. In work, we implic...

In this study the effects of barren vs enriched housing conditions of pigs on their behavior during the lairage period (2-h holding period before slaughter), carcass characteristics, postmortem muscle metabolism, and meat quality were studied. The barren housing system was defined by common intensive housing conditions (i.e., with slatted floors and recommended space allowances), whereas the en...

The production of animal largely depends on supplying of quality feed and proteinaceous supplement to the animals. Jatropha plant can grow in the barren lands, and are used as a source of biodiesel. Besides, the plant may act as a rich proteinaceous source. However, the antinutritional factors present in the seed and seed oil of the plant may hamper the availability and beneficial use of the pl...

India is gifted with heterogeneous landforms and variety of climatic conditions such as the lofty mountains, the raverine deltas, high altitude forests, peninsular plateaus, variety of geological formations endowed with temperature varying from arctic cold to equatorial hot, and rainfall from extreme aridity with a few cms (<10 cm) to perhumid with world’s maximum rainfall (1120 cm) of several ...

Accurate information of paddy fields over wide areas is essential to support sustainable agricultural and a food security program. Monitoring of these lands continuously, using remote sensing technology, will provide information related to the cropping intensity in the field, as well as its dynamics change. We characterized seasonal vegetation dynamics from long-term multi-temporal MODIS satell...
