A split-window algorithm has been used in the Ilam dam watershed to determine the relationship between land surface temperature (LST) and types of land use. Landsat satellite images of the TM sensor for 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010 and Landsat 8 (OLI Sensor) for 2015...

Background: It is estimated that postpartum depression (PPD) occurs in 10–15% of women in the year after childbirth. The highest number of women with PPD has limited access to psychosocial and pharmacological interventions. Long-distance counseling via mobile phone migh...

Background: The paper aims to review existing solutions for smart building to increase hospitality levels in locations like hospitals. The answers could support features such as online appointments, smart navigation, and queue management in the building through mobile ...

Remote Sensing (RS) offers efficient tools for drought monitoring, especially in countries with a lack of reliable and consistent in-situ multi-temporal datasets. In this study, a novel RS- based Drought Index (RSDI) named Temperature-Vegetation-soil Moisture-Precipitat...

International audience; Digital soil mapping (DSM) products are limited in accuracy because of the lack of soil inputs. Soil sensing is a promising alternative to direct soil measurements that could provide much denser spatial samplings. Although using relevant and deta...

Abstract One of the most challenging and non-trivial tasks in robot-based rescue operations is the Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) sign detection in dangerous operation fields, in order to prevent further unexpected disasters. Each HAZMAT sign has a specific meaning that t...

Rheological characteristics of soils, including their deformation and flow behaviors when subjected to external stress, can provide important information on microstructural stability. In this study we used rheological measurements to examine the soil aggregate microstru...

Abstract Dust pollution is one of the major environmental crises in the arid regions of Iran and there is a need to predict dust pollution and identify its controlling factors to help reduce its adverse effects on the livelihood of residents of these areas. Although dee...

Abstract Urmia Lake (UL), located in northwestern Iran, is an important global biosphere; however, it has been experiencing a sharp drop in its water levels since 1995. While some measures have been taken since 2013 for the lake restoration, their impact on Land Use and...

Abstract Internet of Things (IoT) was employed for monitoring the growth parameters of rocket (Eruca sativa) plants cultivated in a greenhouse under supplemental LEDs lighting. Red (R), blue (B) and the combination red and blue in different ratios (75R:25B, 50R:50B, 25R...
