Automated selection of suitable atmospheric calibration sites for satellite imagery
No full textGround calibration targets (GCTs) play a vital role in atmospheric correction of satellite sensor data in the optical region, but selecting suitable targets is a subjective and time-consuming task. This paper describes a method to automatically select suitable GCTs, using a combination of remotely sensed multispectral and topographic data. Desirable characteristics for GCTs sites were identified from the literature, and used to devise a semi-automated workflow based on programs written in IDL combined with routines offered by ITTVIS ENVI and Definiens eCognition. Spatial statistics were used to assess local patterns of spatial uniformity, and endmember abundances (extracted using the SMACC algorithm) were used in a novel method to ensure a spread of calibration sites throughout the brightness range for each band. The result of this process was a map of candidate GCTs, classified according to their suitabilit
Iron deficiency is an important contributor to anemia among reproductive age women in Lebanon
No full textThe objective of this study was to gain knowledge about anemia is it relates to program planning. No recent data exist on anemia [hemoglobin (Hb) 120g-L, plasma ferritin (PF) normal], Fe deficiency (ID) [PF 15 microg-L, Hb normal], or Fe deficiency anemia [Hb 120 g-L, PF 15 microg-L] in Lebanese women. A national survey of 540 nonpregnant women aged 15-49 years was conducted to find the prevalence and determinants of anemia and ID in Lebanon. Sociodemographic, health, and dietary data were collected. Hb and ferritin were assessed. Thirty-three percent of the subjects had ID and 13.5 per cent had Fe deficiency anemia. Eight percent were anemic (Hb 120 g-L) with PF values 15 microg-L. Women consuming 67 per cent of the RDA of hematinic nutrients had lower Hb and Fe levels. Strategies to improve Fe and anemia status are discussed. © 2004 Taylor and Francis.AMR A, 1986, DIRASAT, V13, P75; Angastiniotis M, 1998, ANN NY ACAD SCI, V850, P251, DOI 10.1111-j.1749-6632.1998.tb10482.x; Barr F, 1998, PUBLIC HEALTH NUTR, V1, P249, DOI 10.1079-PHN19980041; Byg KE, 2000, HEMATOL, V5, P319; *CENTR INT AG DEP, 2002, WORLD FACT BOOK; *DRI, 2002, DIET REF INT VIT A V; *ICNND, 1962, NUTR SURV REP LEB FE; JACKSON RT, 1992, NUTRITION, V8, P430; LOZOFF B, 1991, NEW ENGL J MED, V325, P687, DOI 10.1056-NEJM199109053251004; MILMAN N, 1992, ANN HEMATOL, V64, P22, DOI 10.1007-BF01811467; Milman N, 1998, ANN HEMATOL, V77, P13, DOI 10.1007-s002770050405; *N SQUAR COMP, 1993, NUTR 4 SILV OR N SQU; ROATH S, 1992, CURRENT VIEWS THALAS; *SAS I INC, 1998, VERS 7; Scholl TO, 1994, AM J CLIN NUTR S, V59, p500S; SCHOLL TO, 1994, AM J CLIN NUTR, V59, p492S; SLOAN NL, 1992, 7B MOTH CAR PROJ; Tadmouri GO, 1998, SAUDI MED J, V19, P237; TURNER AG, 1994, SAMPLE DESIGN SELECT; *UNICEF REG OFF MI, 1993, SIT AN IR DEF AN CHI; van den Broek NR, 1998, BRIT J HAEMATOL, V103, P817; Viteri FE, 1998, BIOMED ENVIRON SCI, V11, P46; *WHO, 1996, WHONUT177EG11961000; World Health Organization, 1992, WHOMCHMSM922; World Health Organization, 2001, WHONHD013; Zahed Laila, 2001, Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology, V1, P129, DOI 10.1155-S111072430100029846
Ecology of the Festuca Grassland in Central Saskatchewan
No full textFor some time it has been realized that the grassland occuring in the 'park belt' or 'aspen grove region' bounding the Canadian prairies on the north, and forming the transition between it and the boreal forest, does not consist merely of extensions of the adjacent grassland communities (true prairie or mixed prairie) among the patches of woodland which occur in that region; but is characterized by a different group of dominant grasses from those occuring elsewhere in North America.
Although other investigators have mentioned this fact and written about the flora in other parts of the region, their data have been based largely on methods of estimation chiefly of a qualitative nature. In view of this, it was thought that an ecological survey based on quantitative methods might provide a better basis for classifying the vegetation of the area.
Accordingly, while being employed as an assistant in the Department of Plant Ecology of the University of Saskatchewan the author was given the opportunity, under the supervision of Dr. R.T. Coupland, to carry out investigations in those parts of the aspen grove region north and northwest of Saskatoon.
The author is considerably indebted to Dr. B.W. Currie of the Physics Department, for furnishing data on the climate of the area of research, and to Mr. H.C. Moss and his assistants, of the Saskachewan Soil Survey, who kindly undertook to examine and report on the soil samples which were collected in several of the sites studied. The author also wishes to express his gratitide to Mr. Jack F. Alex and Mr. W. Budz of the Department of Plant Ecology, who assisted greatly in both the field and laboratory work for this project. The financial assistance of the Saskatchewan Agricultural Research Foundation, which made this study possible, is also appreciated.
The author experienced a great deal of difficulty as a result of unfamiliarity with the topography, in particular with the vegetation of the plants, since he is more accustomed to the mountains and forests of British Columbia. Many problems of identifications were encountered in dealing with the wealth of species of grasses and composites, as well as problems of relationship between the communities found in certain locations and their topographical situation

Coordination in an Adaptive Traffic Signal Control System
No full textCoordination between the intersections is used in traffic signal control for quite a long time. The objective of this thesis is to determine how beneficial network coordination is in an adaptive traffic signal control system that follows the multi-agent approach. As part of the research: Simulation results show that coordination in a multi-agent controller can reduce average delay of the users on the network depending on the average demand. The best performing coordination measure is platooning cars on the main streams at the first intersection of the arterial. This provide time for the downstream intersections to serve side streams and ensured that the main stream is not stopped at the downstream intersections on the arterial. The tested coordination measures reduced delay with 10% compared to the original settings.Transport and PlanningTransport & PlanningCivil Engineering and Geoscience
