lighter and more powerful than traditional batteries and have a flat voltage profile meaning they provide almost full power until discharged. They also have no memory effect and a very low rate of discharge
Using supervised texture-based classifiers with very high resolution satellite imagery, we produce a binary map of human settlement at 8-meter resolution across the two states and then a more refined classification consisting of 7 residential types and 1 non-residential type. Using the residential ...
Predominantly in Sub-Saharan Africa, farmers are likely to be more vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change due to the compounding challenges of poverty, high dependence on rain-fed agriculture, low infrastructural and technological development, and very low adaptation capacity (Eriksen et ...
Distribution maps were made using the Geostatistical Analyst extension of ESRI ArcMap 10.8.2 to visualize spatial variations in the elemental concentrations. Due to a regular grid, interpolation maps using ordinary kriging were applied to the S-2014 and D-2014 datasets. In addition, interpolation ma...
hydrologically relevant soil parameters could be included such as available water capacity and hydraulic conductivity. However, as these would probably be derived from pedotransfer functions, the percentage of sand, silt and clay may see an improvement over just the percentage of clay used here....
when the singing activity of birds is highest in dry weather conditions. The observer walks alone at a speed of approximately 1 km h−1depending on the density of birds along the transect using a map, compass or global positioning system. The census is carried out earlier in southern ...
Kimberlite pipes or other intrusions are not mapped within the project area itself but do occur shortly to the east (small black diamond symbols on the geological map). Interesting features that are probably related to dolerite intrusion include the network of shallow, occasionally branching chan...
particularly in the winter, and the ability to monitor cetaceans by visual surveys off the continental shelf-slope and offshore over multiple years is costly and capacity prohibitive. Over the study period, results indicated acoustic and/or visual presence of twelve cetacean species or species groups...
(+2). These constraints are correlated with the weak capacity and lack of knowledge of local populations, the strong dependence of the CREMA initiative on external partners, and the harmful practices adversely affecting natural resources. Hence, the tendency shown by this factor reveals that the ...
JNK and ERK MAP kinases mediate induction of IL-1beta, TNF-alpha and IL-8 following hyperosmolar stress in human limbal epithelial cells. Exp Eye Res. 2006;82(4):588–596. doi:10.1016/j.exer.2005.08.019 23. Papas EB. The global prevalence of dry eye disease: a Bayesian view. ...
