The hydrographical characteristics of the North Aegean Sea (NAS) have been studied using in-situ data and thermal NOAA AVHRR data. Lately, efforts to simulate the circulation patterns in the NAS have also been performed. Thus, it has been found that the discharge of water of Black Sea origin (BSW) affects extensive areas of the NAS surface waters. Another meso-scale phenomenon is the extensive upw
Bioenergy is booming around the world and with the expansion comes exciting opportunities and some disturbing risks. Learning about bioenergy – from technologies, to resources, to policies – is important to the success and sustainability of the bioeconomy. This interactive guide opens the door to understanding and engaging in the transition from the fossil-based economy to a bio-based economy. The
This volume deals with the mission of the historical Jesus, that is, Jesus' notion of being commissioned by God to carry out a specific task, and his ideas of how to perform that task. Eleven scholars discuss how the mission of Jesus was understood in earlier research and present their own views.
The paper deals with the structure-motion problem for images of point configurations taken by uncalibrated cameras. Using a parametrisation by affine shape and kinetic depth, a complete and explicit characterisation of the imaging geometry is given, including the shape of the object configuration and the positions of the cameras relative to the scene. No epipolar geometry is used. It is shown that
Discussion concerning the concept of cultural identity in connection with education and media pedagogy
In this paper, tone mapping operations based on the nonlinear successive Mean Quantization Transform (SMQT) are proposed in order to convert high dynamic range images to low dynamic range images. A SMQTbased tone mapping applied on the luminance channel is derived as well as a SMQT-based method working directly on all RGB channels. Both methods are compared to other state-of-the-art methods and pr
