A simple algorithm for retrieval of the optical thickness at L-band from SMOS data
Vegetation indices are indicators for analyzing the properties of vegetation. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from optical remote sensing data is one of the most commonly used vegetation indices, which can exhibit the ecological characteristics of leafy materials, but lacks the ability to directly provide information on the woody materials. In this paper, we developed Microwave Vegetation Indices (MVIs) from the L-band Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) data, which is an effective means to detect the information of branches and trunks. The theory of MVIs is derived from the tau-omega model. To minimize the influence from the uncertain soil surface radiation, a paramet…
¿Se te pone el corazón en la garganta cuando hablamos de las expresiones con partes del cuerpo en el aula de ELE?
El presente trabajo pretende analizar nueve unidades fraseológicas con partes del cuerpo (corazón, lengua y mano) y proponer una serie de actividades tanto lúdicas como interactivas, con el fin de enseñar las UF somáticas en el aula de ELE para estudiantes sinohablantes. Los somatismos, por un lado, se consideran como un tema con carácter de universal fraseológico. Por otro, la extensión del significado se realiza normalmente a través de los mecanismos metafóricos y metonímicos. En este sentido, la propuesta tiene como objetivo facilitar la enseñanza de las UF somáticas, relacionándolas con la lengua china, estudiar los mecanismos cognitivos y el uso pragmático, y favorecer la competencia f…
The Ground State Electronic Energy of Benzene.
We report on the findings of a blind challenge devoted to determining the frozen-core, full configuration interaction (FCI) ground state energy of the benzene molecule in a standard correlation-consistent basis set of double-$\zeta$ quality. As a broad international endeavour, our suite of wave function-based correlation methods collectively represents a diverse view of the high-accuracy repertoire offered by modern electronic structure theory. In our assessment, the evaluated high-level methods are all found to qualitatively agree on a final correlation energy, with most methods yielding an estimate of the FCI value around $-863$ m$E_{\text{H}}$. However, we find the root-mean-square devia…
IPS/UMS/WNGS/MUS 2008 Workshop - Message from the Workshop Organizers
It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 2008 IPS/UMS/WNGS/MUS workshop held in conjunction with the International Conference on Multimedia and Ubiquitous Engineering (MUE2008), Hanwha Resort Haeundae, Busan, Korea. The workshop covers topics on ubiquitous multimedia services and security in ubiquitous multimedia systems. All the submitted papers have undergone rigorous review process by the technical program committee members and external reviewers. We have selected 17 best papers for presentation and publication in the conference proceedings.
