The object of this work was to verify the utility of a level IV fugacity model to simulate the environmental fate of the insecticide carbofuran when employed in the cultivation of irrigated rice. The model simulated the dynamic distribution of…

Knowledge is one of the most precious resources of an organization. Every organization wishes to preserve and fully utilize its knowledge. Within organization knowledge is present in various forms, may be in the minds of workers or in documented form.…

Accurate knowledge of adult mortality levels and trends in the developing world is hampered by its widespread lack of complete vital registration systems. Although knowledge of infant and child mortality was once affect by the same problem, survey-based techniques have…

A passive acoustic localization method for tracking the movement of a clicking sperm whale in three-dimensions using data from just one hydrophone is demonstrated using data made available for the 3rd International Workshop on Detection and Classification of Marine Mammals.…

We propose a new method to localize low-frequency calls in 2D in shallow waters from a sparse array of hydrophones using modal propagation modelling. An analysis of modal propagation modelling of transients signals in shallow water environment shows that the…
