The characters of Chamaecyparis obtusa community extended around the Mt. Gyeryoung in Geoje-ci쇼 were investigated for several ecological parameters and the results can be summarized as fellows. Chamaecyparis obtusa is prevailing in the plantation area, whereas Pinus den...

In recent years agricultural scientists have been encouraged to build upon farmer practice and knowledge. Although some researchers continued to view farmer practice as irrelevant, others responded with: a) experiments using “farmer practice” as a treatment, b) attempts...

Abstract In many Western countries, governments are currently implementing an innovative demand-driven mobility policy. Providers of collective door-to-door transport, called dial-a-ride services, are increasingly invoked to replace unprofitable public transport in rura...

A hydroxymethylated resorcinol (HMR) was used as a coupling agent to improve glueability of silicone (aminofunctional polydimethylsiloxane) modified pine sapwood (Pinus sylvestris) with polyvinyl acetate (PVAc). Priming with HMR did not significantly increase tensile sh...

Owing to their high sedimentation rates and wide areal extent, hemipelagic sediments along continental borderlands are potentially important high-resolution recorders of geomagnetic secular variation. To assess this possibility, we studied suboxic hemipelagic muds from ...

This work describes the different algorithmic steps used to retrieve the first Surface Albedo (SA) product based on Sentinel-3 (S-3) data in the framework of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). The atmospherically corrected Top-Of-Atmosphere (TOA) reflectances ...

Cancer is a major health problem, but medical undergraduate education about cancer leaves many practitioners ill-prepared. All practitioners need some knowledge of cancer. Those practising in rural areas might need more knowledge because of their isolation from tertiary...

This study examined the spatial distribution of particulate air pollution in the Warri metropolis. This was done to ascertain the differences between the distribution of particulate matter (PM10) in the urban area and the surrounding rural areas. To achieve this, the st...

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly destructs the rhythm of global modern human civilization but worldwide lockdown radically recovers the health of the total environment. The Himalayan trans-boundary rivers provide huge provisional, regulatory and cultural ecosystem se...

SETHI is the airborne SAR system developed by the ONERA, the French Aerospace Lab dedicated to civilian application. This new SAR system was designed to explore the science applications of radar remote sensing; it can operate over a wide range of frequency bands (X, L a...
