Tongyu County in Northeast China is highly prone to land degradation due to its fragile physical settings characterized by a flat topography, a semi-arid climate, and a shallow groundwater table. This study aims to determine the causes of land degradation through detecting the long-term trend of land cover changes. Degraded lands were mapped from satellite images recorded in 1992 and 2002. Thes...

A preliminary comparison between the Land Surface Temperature (LST) product generated by the LSA SAF and ground measurements carried out in an extensive, flat, unstressed, fully-covering rice field site showed an LST error larger than ±2K. Since then, several issues have been investigated with the aim of reducing error sources in the retrieval of LST from MSG-SEVIRI in Eastern Spain: a) a metho...

Given an embedded cylinder in an arbitrary surface, we give a gauge theoretic definition of the associated Goldman flow, which is a circle action on a dense open subset of the moduli space of equivalence classes of flat SU(2)-connections over the surface. A cylinder in a compact nonorientable surface lifts to two cylinders in the orientable double cover, and the composite flow is the compositio...

This paper proposes a multiple layer combinations reversible watermarking scheme. We use a combination of predictors for calculating the new value of central pixel, as you can see in this paper we use a circular predictor, a cross one and also a square predictor, taking in consideration all the possibilities to mark the pixels. Also, an advantage of our method is the one of splitting the image ...

Geopersia is published biannually by the College of Science, University of Tehran, Iran. The College of Science published Journal of Science, which covered all fields of basic science, from 1968 to 2010. It was then decided that the College’s journals should be more specialized, and hence publication of Geopersia was launched. Articles printed in Geopersia will be available online too. Aims an...

introduction: flat foot is one of the most common disorders which not only influences the performance of the foot, but also affects the alignments of the ankle, knee and hip joints. the performance of flat arched differs from that of normal subjects during walking. however, there is not enough information in the literature regarding the difference between standing stability. moreover, the influ...

In 2001, S. Bulman-Fleming et al. initiated the study of three flatness properties (weakly kernel flat, principally weakly kernel flat, translation kernel flat) of right acts $A_{S}$ over a monoid $S$ that can be described by means of when the functor $A_{S} otimes -$ preserves pullbacks. In this paper, we extend these results to $S$-posets and present equivalent descriptions of weakly kernel p...

Bubbles induced by blast waves or shocks are speculated to be the major cause of damages in biological cells in mild traumatic brain injuries. Microbubble collapse was found to induce noticeable cell detachment from the cell substrate, changes in focal adhesion and biomechanics. To better understand the bubble mechanism, we would like to construct a system, which allows us to clearly differenti...
