temporal and spatial variations of fire behavior can be predicted using one of the semi-physical or empirical models developed over recent years. this article investigates the effect of different fuel moisture conditions on fire spread and behavior in national golestan park in july 2011 using farsite, flammap simulation systems, and previous ignition history. landscape data contains the topogra...

In the context of distributed joint source-channel coding, we conceive a joint decoding and estimation scheme for binary Markov sources exhibiting spatio-temporal correlation. The proposed scheme is designed based on the serial concatenation of a trellis coded modulation (TCM) scheme and a unityrate code. The symbol-based maximum a posteriori algorithm employed for TCM decoding is modified in o...

BACKGROUND Speckle Tracking Echocardiography (STE) strain analysis relies on both spatial and temporal smoothing. The user is often allowed to adjust these smoothing parameters during analysis. This experimental study investigates how different degrees of user controllable spatial and temporal smoothing affect global and regional STE strain values in recordings obtained from normal and ischemic...

We present a calculation of the renormalisation constants for the temporal vector current, ZV0 and spatial axial current, ZAk , to O( αs M ) for B → D transitions using the O( 1 M ) NRQCD action for both b and c quarks evaluated for a large range of mass parameters. Considerations for the renormalisation of the spatial vector current and the temporal axial current are discussed and initial resu...

In instantaneous encephalogram or magnetoencephalogram (EEG/MEG) source analysis, ordinary least squares estimation (OLS) requires that the spatial noise is homoscedastic and uncorrelated over sensors. In spatio-temporal analysis OLS also requires that the noise is homoscedastic and uncorrelated in time (over samples). Generally, these assumptions are violated and, as a consequence, OLS can giv...

water changes information in the hydrological system, in time and space, as an environmental issue takes heed of managers and decision makers in watershed management and river engineering, which can be addressed by using spatially distributed modeling. in this study simulation of water balance components in taleghan mountainous watershed is performed using the spatially distributed hydrological...

We propose a model to describe the mean function as well as the spatio-temporal covariance structure of 15 years of both maximum and minimum daily temperature data from 190 stations throughout the region of Catalonia (Spain), with daily data covering the period 1994-2008. Our aim is threefold: (a) estimation of the long-term trend of maximum and minimum temperatures; (b) assessing the spatial a...

| We investigate multiuser signal detection with a base-station antenna array for synchronous CDMA Rayleigh fading uplink channels. We have developed a discrete-time model that enables the formulation of a spatial-temporal decorrelating detector using the maximum-likelihood criterion. The detector is shown to be near-far resistant. We further propose to implement the spatial-temporal decorrelat...
