Abstract River basins are one of the most dynamic terrains on Earth, therefore, river morphology should be monitored continuously and its effects on the environment (i.e. natural hazards) should be mapped whenever possible. This study was carried out to quantify and vis...

Abstract Rapid progress in deep learning (DL) is benefitting almost all fields including ‘Remote Sensing’. Until now several deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) are proposed, every one of them gives distinct results according to its depth as well as hyperparameter...

Abstract This study aims to produce accurate geospatial 3D data from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images. An image of a ≈ 0.05 km2 area of the Najran University campus in Najran, Saudi Arabia, was captured using a DJI Mavic Pro Platinum drone. Agisoft Metashape and Pix...

Abstract Sediment deposition causes the reduction of aquatic habitats and increase of water velocities within rivers, which negatively impacts the environment and the surrounding ecology. This makes the prediction of river sediment deposition a key factor for the protec...

Abstract Heterogeneity in the Internet of Things (IoT) environment is a critical issue for supporting security and privacy. IoT environment has become an open invitation to hackers to control and attack connected IoT devices. So, it has become essential to face security...

There has been increasing interest in satellite design and manufacture. Satellites require complex components that must withstand severe mechanical and thermal conditions. Thermal design of a satellite relies on several dynamic factors. Satellites experience both extrem...

Sustainable development is socioeconomic growth that integrates political, economic, and social measures alongside environmental protection to meet the needs of communities and citizens without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The sust...

Abstract Although there is great opportunity, the bioeconomy is not a silver bullet in the quest to solve various environmental problems. This assessment tests the no agricultural waste concept, an agricultural system where all residues are utilized within a value chain...

The use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in homes and the immediate proximity of an individual communicates to create Personal IoT (PIoT) networks. The exploratory study of PIoT is in its infancy, which will explore the expansion of new use cases, service requirement...

Abstract The rapid growth of affluent urban populations and the associated modernization of food value chains are reshaping agricultural production and consumption in the Global South. Here we explore how the traditional-to-modern transition is affecting food loss and w...
