The quality and accuracy of DEMs derived from repeatpass InSAR is limited by atmospheric phase screen (APS) difference and decorrelation between SAR images. In this paper, we show a compromising but effective approach to avoid DEM gaps and remove height errors induced by the atmosphere. Existing low resolution DEMs are used as external data to improve the quality of interferometric DEM. Our app...

The availability of new high resolution radar spaceborne sensors offers new interesting potentialities for the geomatics application: spatial and temporal change detection, features extraction, generation of Digital Surface (DSMs). As regards the DSMs generation from new high resolution data (as SpotLight imagery), the development and the accuracy assessment of method based on radargrammetric a...

In this work we describe a method to handle curved orbits in wavenumber domain focusing algorithm for high-resolution SAR data acquired by Low Earth Orbit satellites using spotlight mode. The standard wavenumber domain focusing algorithm make assumptions that start to be invalid when applied to high-resolution spotlight SAR data acquired in spaceborne low Earth orbit (LEO) configurations. The a...

Aerosols are of major concern for both human health and the climate system. Man-made emissions are a major contributor to this kind of pollution, but devising efficient strategies to reduce particulate matter concentrations is not straightforward: measurements show that most of the aerosol mass is secondary, it is the result mainly of oxidation processes on various trace gas precursors. Within ...

background : mosquitoes transmit serious human diseases, causing millions of death every year. vector control is facing a threat due to the emergence of resistance to synthetic insecticides. insecticides of botanical origin may serve as suitable alternative biocontrol techniques in the future. nine different locally available medicinally important plants suspected to posse larvicidal property w...

Apigenin is best known as an irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAO), an intracellular enzyme associated with the outer membrane of mitochondria. The purpose of this study is to establish a reliable and quick method for the assignment of Apigenin in Cosmos bipinnatus, Apium graveolens and Petroselinum crispum by high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (HPLC-U...
