2a). The increased tree mortality due to edge effects triggers positive feedback loops with fires, which can penetrate up to 1 km into forest interiors (red curve in Fig. 2a, inset). At the same time, fragmentation makes the interior of the forest more accessible, which leads to ...
As shown in Figure 3A and 3B, the shape of the S-curves of the SARS-2 and the SARS-1 FPs are similar in that they both saturate at around 2% P/L ratio, while the shape of the curve of the MERS FP is quite different in that it does not saturated even at 5% P/L ratio. It ...
39. The SCS runoff curve number (CN2) was eventually reduced by 0.21 from the initial values, similar to the values given in Li et al.40. The soil-related sensitivity parameters (SOL_AWC, SOL_BD) were reduced by 0.05 and 0.24, respectively. The parameters GW_REVAP and GWQMN, which ...
However, if you do use this trick (matrixing / dematrixing) with a coincident (X/Y) pair of microphones thatareat the same concert at the same time, then the nice thing about the L+R sum is that it is (if you've set up appropriately and the acoustics gods are with you) a liste...
ELISA, according to the manufacturer guidelines (Life Technologies, Monza, Italy). The absorbance of each sample, whose color intensity is proportional to the amount of cytokine, was measured at 450 nm and 630 nm. The amount of proteins in pg/mL was calculated based on a standard curve. ...
For valuable visual presentation of the predicted PGA values, we have employed both the MSE and R2 values and comparing the true values of PGA represented by the linear curve as shown in Figure 8a, and compared it with the predicted values using the best ML model. In other words, we have...
“from–to” change matrix is not adequate to provide information of all the land-use changes that occur in a watershed. In this study, an in-depth analysis of land-use change enabled us to quantify the bulk of the changes accumulating from swap changes in a tropical watershed. This study...

Subsequently, based on our overall understanding of the spatiotemporal pattern of SUHI indicators of the study region, the SUHII was divided into six levels according to the thresholds of percentiles pinpointed on the normal distribution curve, that is, level 1: extreme low (≤5%); level 2:...
