Thermal Remote Sensing in Land Surface Processing

CRC Press, 2004

Remotely-sensed data has become important for the analysis, characterization and modeling of a wide array of land surface processes, whether biophysical or human, in the earth system sciences. These processes range from changes in vegetation over time and in response to climate changes and the impact of humans, through to even more complex changes...

Plant Growth and Climate

John Wiley & Sons, 2006

Evidence grows daily of the changing climate and its impact on plants and animals. Plant function is inextricably linked to climate and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. On the shortest and smallest scales, the climate affects the plant’s immediate environment and so directly influences physiological processes. At larger scales,...

Supervised and Unsupervised Ensemble Methods and their Applications (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2008

The rapidly growing amount of data, available from different technologies in the field of bio-sciences, high-energy physics, economy, climate analysis, and in several other scientific disciplines, requires a new generation of machine learning and statistical methods to deal with their complexity and heterogeneity. As data collections becomes...

Frommer's Portugal (Frommer's Complete)

Frommers, 2010

Centuries ago, Portugal was a pioneer of worldwide exploration. Until recently, however, it was never as successful in attracting visitors to its own shores. Outside of greater Lisbon, the Algarve, and the island of Madeira, Portugal remained unknown and undiscovered by the mainstream visitor for many decades.

Today’s...
