Advanced MR neuroimaging: From theory to clinical practice
(2017)Over the last decade, some of the greatest achievements in the field of neuroimaging have been related to remarkable advances in magnetic resonance techniques, including diffusion, perfusion, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, ... -
Agricultural drought indices: Combining crop, climate, and soil factors
(2017)Agriculture depends highly on climate and is adversely affected by climate extremes caused mainly by anthropogenic climate change and increasing climate variability. Moreover, agricultural production risks and the vulnerability ... -
Criteria for wastewater treatment and reuse under water scarcity
(2017)Water scarcity and water availability put significant constraints on social and economic development, as well as deteriorate the quality of life. Today, the problem of water scarcity is the adverse result of ineffective ... -
Drought and dust management
(2017)A dust storm is a meteorological phenomenon common in arid and semiarid regions. Dust storms arise when a gust front or other strong wind blows loose sand and dirt from a dry surface. Particles are transported by saltation ... -
Drought and remote sensing: An overview
(2017)An overview of the relationships between drought and remote sensing is considered herein. At first, drought concepts, types, and features are presented. This is followed by a description of the existing and new remote-sensing ... -
Drought assessment and management for heat waves monitoring
(2017)Heat is related to exceptionally high temperatures. Heat generally means thermal discomfort, which activates the thermoregulatory system of the body. Continuous heat increases the discomfort and may cause adverse effects ... -
Drought assessment and risk analysis
(2017)Drought is a slow-onset natural hazard recurring regionally, which is often considered as a creeping phenomenon. Drought is characterized by an accumulated departure of precipitation from the normal or expected, which may ... -
Drought management: Current challenges and future outlook
(2017)The effect of drought on agricultural productivity is widely recognized, but the social, political, and psychological effects of drought may be equally important, especially in a world with increasing urbanization. This ... -
Environmental impacts of drought on desertification classification
(2017)Desertification is an ecological and environmental issue and a slow-developing hazard. Desertification constitutes land degradation in arid, semiarid, and dry subhumid areas. Desertification results from a combination of ... -

Forest fire mitigation under water shortage
(2017)Fires are a natural part of many forest ecosystems. Nonetheless, the massive blaze that raged in Alberta, Canada, in May 2016 was catastrophic, threatening human health, the economy, and the environment. The fire displaced ... -
Frost and remote sensing: An overview of capabilities
(2017)In this chapter, the capabilities of Earth observation (EO) for use in frost quantification and assessment are discussed. First, a description of frost concepts and classification is presented. This is followed by a ... -

The importance of accurate calculation of the nonlinear extreme wave kinematics in the design of offshore platforms
(2015)The purpose of this work is to highlight the importance of the calculation of the nonlinear extreme wave kinematics appropriate for load calculations of the elements of a platform in deep water. Numerical calculations have ... -
Irradiation treatments
(2017)Numerous factors (e.g., growth of pathogenic microorganisms) affect the preservation and safety of slightly processed foods such as fresh vegetables and fruits. There is an increasing trend to centrally process fresh fruits ... -
Meteorological drought indices: Definitions
(2017)Drought is part of nature’s climate variability recurring diachronically at a regional scale. Drought is considered as one of the major natural hazards having significant impact on several sectors of the economy, society, ... -
Prediction of wave transmission coefficient using neural networks and experimental measurements
(2015)In the present paper, an application of composite modeling is presented, for the estimation of wave transmission through flushing culverts. Specifically, experimental measurements are used and an Artificial Neural Network ... -
Remote sensing in drought quantification and assessment
(2017)The remote sensing capabilities for use in drought quantification and assessment are considered. The remote sensing concepts and potentials are initially presented followed by a description of the different types of drought, ... -
River sediment in low flow condition
(2017)Soil as an open natural system and influential on the environment is a nonrenewable source that can be easily destroyed, and because of the significance of this valuable natural source, it is essential to detect ways to ...
