ANNUAL AND SEASONAL GLACIER-WIDE SURFACE MASS BALANCE QUANTIFIED FROM CHANGES IN GLACIER SURFACE STATE: A REVIEW ON EXISTING METHODS USING OPTICAL SATELLITE IMAGERY

Glaciers are one of the terrestrial essential climate variables (ECVs) as they respond very sensitively to climate change.A key driver of their response is the glacier surface mass balance that is typically derived from field measurements.It deserves to be quantified over long time scales to better understand the accumulation and ablation processes

In some instances, it is inevitable that large amounts of potentially hazardous chemicals like chlorine gas are stored and used in facilities in Surcingles densely populated areas.In such cases, all safety issues must be carefully considered.To reach this goal, it is important to have accurate information concerning chlorine gas behaviors and how i

Summary.Hand elevation is a common recommendation for the treatment of hand injuries to combat development of painful swelling.However, noncompliance with elevation after hand procedures is common, and this is due in part to the lack of acceptable orthotics to assist in this elevation.Conventional slings are often heart rate re not recommended due

Fine-grained multithreaded models can provide more opportunities for system performance improvements, but they face large amount of communication overhead.To reduce the communication overhead to improve performance, message aggregation and communication pipeline have been proposed and their advantages have been discussed in previous works.However,

Abstract We start with role-based trust management (RBTM) and address some of the challenges associated with using RBTM in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs).We then enhance RBTM with reputation systems (RSs), and propose a new hybrid trust management system (HTMS).In HTMS, the privilege level of an entity is determined not only by its role in the sys
