Modeling Fire Danger in Galicia and Asturias (Spain) from MODIS images
2014
Forest fires are one of the most dangerous natural hazards, especially when they are recurrent. In areas such as Galicia (Spain), forest fires are frequent and devastating. The development of fire risk models becomes a very important prevention task for these regions. Vegetation and moisture indices can be used to monitor vegetation status; however, the different indices may perform differently depending on the vegetation species. Eight different spectral indices were selected to determine the most appropriate index in Galicia. This study was extended to the adjacent region of Asturias. Six years of MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) images, together with ground fire data…
Controlling diffusion of 3He by buffer gases: a structural contrast agent in lung MRI.
2006
Purpose: To study the influence of admixing inert buffer gases to laser-polarized 3 He in terms of resulting diffusion coefficients and the consequences for image contrast and resolution. Materials and Methods: The diffusion coefficient of 3 He was altered by admixing buffer gases of various molecular weights ( 4 He, N2, and SF6). The influence of the pulse sequence and the diffusion coefficient on the appearance of MRI of (laserpolarized) gases was analyzed by comparison of basic theoretical concepts with demonstrative experiments. Results: Excellent agreement between theoretical description and observed signal in simple gradient echoes was observed. A maximum signal gain can be predicted …
An SPM-Enriched Marine Oil Supplement Shifted Microglia Polarization toward M2, Ameliorating Retinal Degeneration in rd10 Mice
2022
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common inherited retinal dystrophy causing progressive vision loss. It is accompanied by chronic and sustained inflammation, including M1 microglia activation. This study evaluated the effect of an essential fatty acid (EFA) supplement containing specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), on retinal degeneration and microglia activation in rd10 mice, a model of RP, as well as on LPS-stimulated BV2 cells. The EFA supplement was orally administered to mice from postnatal day (P)9 to P18. At P18, the electrical activity of the retina was examined by electroretinography (ERG) and innate behavior in response to light were measured. Retinal degeneration was …
Complejidad-Dificultad en tareas con patrones lineales reiterativos en estudiantes de 4, 5 y 6 años
2018
La enseñanza de las matemáticas en Educación Infantil y primeros cursos de Educación Primaria pretende fomentar el pensamiento lógico y la capacidad para resolver problemas de los estudiantes. Una de las actividades escolares con las que más se trabaja es la tarea de identificación y continuación de patrones lineales de repetición. Un patrón lineal de repetición es una cadena de objetos, habitualmente geométricos (pero no necesariamente), que se repiten de manera periódica. El análisis de las variables que definen a los elementos del patrón permite la elección correcta del objeto que continúa la serie. Por tanto, esta actividad puede ser estudiada desde un contexto de resolu…
MODIS-Based Monthly LST Products over Amazonia under Different Cloud Mask Schemes
2016
One of the major problems in the monitoring of tropical rainforests using satellite imagery is their persistent cloud coverage. The use of daily observations derived from high temporal resolution sensors, such as Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), could potentially help to mitigate this issue, increasing the number of clear-sky observations. However, the cloud contamination effect should be removed from these results in order to provide a reliable description of these forests. In this study the available MODIS Land Surface Temperature (LST) products have been reprocessed over the Amazon Basin (10 N–20 S, 80 W–45 W) by introducing different cloud masking schemes. The mont…
The Land Surface Temperature Synergistic Processor in BEAM: A Prototype towards Sentinel-3
2016
Land Surface Temperature (LST) is one of the key parameters in the physics of land-surface processes on regional and global scales, combining the results of all surface-atmosphere interactions and energy fluxes between the surface and the atmosphere. With the advent of the European Space Agency (ESA) Sentinel 3 (S3) satellite, accurate LST retrieval methodologies are being developed by exploiting the synergy between the Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) and the Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR). In this paper we explain the implementation in the Basic ENVISAT Toolbox for (A)ATSR and MERIS (BEAM) and the use of one LST algorithm developed in the framework of the Syner…
Microwave, High-Resolution Infrared, and Quantum Chemical Investigations of CHBrF2: Ground and v4 = 1 States
2011
A combined microwave, infrared, and computational investigation of CHBrF(2) is reported. For the vibrational ground state, measurements in the millimeter- and sub-millimeter-wave regions for CH(79)BrF(2) and CH(81)BrF(2) provided rotational and centrifugal-distortion constants up to the sextic terms as well as the hyperfine parameters (quadrupole-coupling and spin-rotation interaction constants) of the bromine nucleus. The determination of the latter was made possible by recording of spectra at sub-Doppler resolution, achieved by means of the Lamb-dip technique, and supporting the spectra analysis by high-level quantum chemical calculations at the coupled-cluster level. In this context, the…
High resolution study of AsHD2: Ground state and the three bending fundamental bands v(3), v(4), and v(6)
2006
International audience; For the first time the infrared spectrum of the AsHD2 molecule has been measured in the region of the bending fundamental bands v(3), v(4), and v(6) on a Fourier transform spectrometer with a resolution of 0.0024 cm(-1) and analyzed. More than 5500 transitions with J(max) = 26 have been assigned and used both to obtain "ground state combination differences" and for the determination of upper state ro-vibrational energies of the triad (001000), (000100), and (000001). Rotational parameters including centrifugal distortion coefficients up to octic terms of the ground vibrational state were calculated by fitting more than 500 "ground state combination differences" with …
Rotational analysis of the v 2 + v 6 ±1, v 5 ∓1 + v 6 ∓1 and v 5 ∓1 + v 6 ±1 interacting infrared bands of methyl bromide
1982
The rotational analysis of the infrared absorption spectrum of CH3 79Br and CH3 81Br between 2150 and 2510 cm-1 was performed on a Fourier transform spectrum with a resolution of 0·007 cm-1. The bands v 2 + v 6(E) and v 5 + v 6(A 1 + A 2 + E) occur in this region, giving rise to several perturbations as in the corresponding system of methyl chloride [3]. Forbidden transitions, observed in correspondence of the level crossing of the x-y Coriolis coupling between v 2 + v 6 and v 5 + v 6(E), enabled us to estimate the value of A″ - 225D″K at 5·16186 cm-1 for CH3 79Br and 5·16173 cm-1 for CH3 81Br. The parallel system of v 5 + v 6 exhibits a perpendicular structure, and an l-type resonance coup…
