A GNSS-IR METHOD FOR RETRIEVING SOIL MOISTURE CONTENT FROM INTEGRATED MULTI-SATELLITE DATA THAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE IMPACT OF VEGETATION MOISTURE CONTENT

There are two problems with using global navigation satellite system-interferometric reflectometry (GNSS-IR) to retrieve the soil moisture content (SMC) from single-satellite data: the difference between the reflection regions, and the difficulty in circumventing the impact of seasonal vegetation growth on reflected microwave signals.This study pre

Mentoring is intended to guide student teachers towards pedagogical decision-making within the complexity of the classroom.In this article we focus on the mathematics mentoring practices of 1 primary school teacher at a university-affiliated teaching school in Johannesburg.The teacher had many years of experience and had undergone some development

The cerebellar granular layer has been suggested to perform a complex spatiotemporal reconfiguration of incoming mossy fiber signals.Central to this role is the inhibitory action exerted by Golgi cells over granule cells: Golgi cells inhibit granule cells through double feedforward and feedback inhibitory loops and generate a broad lateral inhibiti

Summary Background The patient with colonic obstruction may frequently have bacterial overgrowth and increased breath hydrogen (H2) levels because the bacterium can contact with food residues for longer time.We experienced two cases with intestinal obstruction whose breath H2 concentrations were measured continuously.Case 1 A 70-year-old woman with

A new encapsulation of NPK fertilizer hydrogel granules made from glutaraldehyde crosslinked chitosan has been successfully fabricated.This designed fertilizer was aimed to maximize the fertilizing process in the soil, as the environmental pollution affected by the excess release of the nutrients can be prevented.The granule was prepared from biode
