Temporal and Spatial Analysis of Coastal Landscape Patterns Using the GEE Cloud Platform and Landsat Time Series

Owing to the rapid urbanization combined with global climate change, dramatic land-use change in coastal watersheds is occurred, which, in turn, cause the evolution of landscape patterns and threaten the valuable but fragile ecosystem. The ...

A geotechnical investigation on a recent gigantic rock avalanche at the Patalganga-Langsi site on the Badrinath highway of chamoli, Uttarakhand (Garhwal Himalaya), India

Abstract Garhwal Himalaya is one of the most landslide-prone regions in the Himalayan Belt due to its seismo-tectonic background, geological complexity, climate, geomorphological setting and large-scale human interference. A gigantic rock a...

UAV Image Mosaicking Based on Multiregion Guided Local Projection Deformation

The goal of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) image mosaicking is to create natural- looking mosaics without artifacts due to the parallax of the image and relative camera motion. UAV remote sensing is a low-altitude technology and the UAV imag...

The surface temperatures of Earth: steps towards integrated understanding of variability and change

Surface temperature is a key aspect of weather and climate, but the term may refer to different quantities that play interconnected roles and are observed by different means. In a community-based activity in June 2012, the EarthTemp Network...

Land and Atmosphere Precursors to Fuel Loading, Wildfire Ignition and Post‐Fire Recovery

Abstract Land surface‐atmosphere coupling and soil moisture memory are shown to combine into a distinct temporal pattern for wildfire incidents across the western United States. We investigate the dynamic interplay of observed soil moisture...

Microclimatic variations of land surface temperature on Galindez Island (western part of the Antarctic Peninsula)

The study presents analysis of microclimatic conditions on Galindez Island (western part of the Antarctic Peninsula), in particular: seasonal variability and spatial heterogeneity. Based on land surface temperature (LST) data derived from l...

Handbook of Geophysics and Space Environments

Abstract : This handbook is a comprehensive collection of data, formulas, definitions, and theories concerning the natural environment. It was written by scientists of the Air Force Cambridge Reserach Laboratories (AFCRL) which, in 1976, be...

Environmental and Engineering Geophysics

Geophysical imaging methods provide solutions to a wide range of environmental and engineering problems: protection of soil and groundwater from contamination; disposal of chemical and nuclear waste; geotechnical site testing; landslide and...

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using terrestrial fern (Gleichenia Pectinata (Willd.) C. Presl.): characterization and antimicrobial studies

Novel silver nanoparticles from Gleichenia Pectinata (Willd.) C. Presl. was synthesized. A combination of spectroscopic and microscopic techniques were utilized to characterize the newly synthesized Gleichenia Pectinata Silver Nanoparticles...

Metabolic Analysis of Carotenoids and Phenolic Compounds Found in Green and Purple Kenaf

The chemical composition of the different plant parts of green ( Hibiscus cannabinus L. cv. Jangdae) and purple ( H. cannabinus L. cv. Jeokbong) kenaf cultivars were investigated using high-performance liquid chromatography. Ten carotenoid ...

Morpho-molecular approach reveals three novel endophytic fungi in Polyschema (Pleosporales, Latoruaceae) associated with roots of baobab trees in Yunnan, China

Endophytic fungi associated with roots of the baobab tree (Adansonia digitata L.) remain poorly documented in terms of species diversity worldwide. During an ongoing fungal survey in the dry-hot valleys of Honghe (Yunnan Province, China), f...

Eleven years’ data of grassland management data in Germany

Dynamics of Agriculture Subject Guides Usage at KSU Libraries [Abstract only] 

Scanning library literature, we found that there were few studies on how online library subject guides were used. One reason may be because librarians have only recently begun to publish their subject guides online. With the start of the ne...

Siderophore-Mediated Interactions Determine the Disease Suppressiveness of Microbial Consortia

ABSTRACT Interactions between plant pathogens and root-associated microbes play an important role in determining disease outcomes. While several studies have suggested that steering these interactions may improve plant health, such approach...

Interplanting Secondary Crops into Existing Strawberry Fields.

To increase the utility of land preparation, existing plastic mulch, and micro-irrigation, strawberry growers in the Plant City area often plant secondary crops among winter annual strawberries. Seeds or transplants are planted 5-6 weeks be...

Investing in traditional medicine: leveraging evidence and innovative research to strengthen the fight against malaria in Nigeria

Abstract Traditional medicine (TM) has been a cornerstone of healthcare across various cultures, especially in Africa, where it has played an integral role in the management of diseases such as malaria. Despite the popularity and historical...

<i>Escherichia coli</i> Optoelectronic Sensors for In Situ Monitoring of Selected Materials Across Water Supply Systems

Chemical monitoring of pollutants and hazardous materials in water supply systems traditionally depends on centralized laboratories, advanced instrumentation, and trained personnel, limiting accessibility and preventing real-time, on-site a...

Development of a Real-Time Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assay for the Rapid Detection of Olea Europaea Geminivirus

A real-time loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was developed for simple, rapid and efficient detection of the Olea europaea geminivirus (OEGV), a virus recently reported in different olive cultivation areas worldwide. A pre...

Xylan Is Critical for Proper Bundling and Alignment of Cellulose Microfibrils in Plant Secondary Cell Walls

Plant biomass represents an abundant and increasingly important natural resource and it mainly consists of a number of cell types that have undergone extensive secondary cell wall (SCW) formation. These cell types are abundant in the stems ...

The Infection Route of Tomato Zonate Spot Virus in the Digestive System of Its Insect Vector Frankliniella occidentalis

Tomato zonate spot virus (TZSV) is a phytopathogen of the genus Orthotospovirus (Bunyaviridae) that is widespread in many areas of Southwest China. TZSV is mainly transmitted by Frankliniella occidentalis, but its exact infection route rema...
