present a semi-parametric multivariate gap-filling model for tower-based measurement of latent heat flux (LE). Two statistical techniques‚ the principal component analysis (PCA) and a nonlinear interpolation approach were integrated into this LE gap-filling model. The PCA was first used to resolve the multicollinearity relationships among various environmental variables‚ including radiation‚ soil moisture deficit‚ leaf area index‚ wind speed‚ etc. Two nonlinear interpolation methods‚ multiple regressions

What are geographic data? Geographic data link place‚ time‚ and attributes. Place Place‚ or location‚ is essential in a geographic information system. Locations are the basis for many of the benefits of geographic information systems: the

VLSI IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERPOLATION PROCESSOR FOR SOFT-DECISION REED-SOLOMON DECODING ABSTRACT Error detection and correction plays a very important role in data communication. Various codes such as convolutional and block codes are available for the purpose of error detection and correction. Among the block codes Reed-Solomon code provides several advantages. Reed-Solomon codes are powerful error-correcting codes that finds wide applications in many fields. The soft-decision

MAY 2011 IMAGE Resolution Enhancement by Using Discrete and Stationary Wavelet Decomposition Hasan Demirel and Gholamreza Anbarjafari Abstract—In this correspondence‚ the authors propose an image resolution enhancement technique based on interpolation of the high frequency subband images obtained by discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and the input image. The edges are enhanced by introducing an intermediate stage by using stationary wavelet transform (SWT). DWT is applied in order to decompose

very dense (the lidar post spacing is 0.3 m or approximately 10 points are included in 1 m2) covering all local surface variations. Therefore the IDW interpolation technique is proper and can be used as it evaluates the influence of each point to the unknown value depending on their distance (Azizi and Nazafi‚ 2014). In other words IDW interpolation controls the distance to which cell samples affect the surface derivation. By taking into account the nearest points to the unknown location‚ the interpolated

Hyde‚ who is darker‚ stronger‚ and more primitive than the effeminate Jekyll‚ might represent either a devolution of the human species or an interpolation of the primitive other within the confined and controlled world of British men. In either case‚ the logic of what is today called social Darwinism can be shown to underpin the racial and gender anxieties of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr

Pressure Distribution around a Symmetric Aerofoil Abstract: The following report is based on an experiment conducted to calculate the lift curve slope for a symmetrical aerofoil subjected to varying angles of attack. Pressure readings were taken at different points on the upper and lower surface of the aerofoil. The report concludes that maximum lift is generated between 12 º -15º‚ which is also the stall point. It also states that region close to the leading edge contributes most to the lift force
