A shadow- eliminated vegetation index (SEVI) for removal of self and cast shadow effects on vegetation in rugged terrains

ABSTRACT

The effect of terrain shadow, including the self and cast shadows, is one of the main obstacles for accurate retrieval of vegetation parameters by remote sensing in rugged terrains. A shadow- eliminated vegetation index (SEVI) was developed, which was computed from only red and near-infrared top-of-atmosphere reflectance without other heterogeneous data and topographic correction. After introduction of the conceptual model and feature analysis of conventional wavebands, the SEVI was constructed by ratio vegetation index (RVI), shadow vegetation index (SVI) and adjustment factor (f (Δ)). Then three methods were used to validate the SEVI accuracy in elimination of terrain shadow effects, including relative error analysis, correlation analysis between the cosine of solar incidence angle (cosi) and vegetation indices, and comparison analysis between SEVI and conventional vegetation indices with topographic correction. The validation results based on 532 samples showed that the SEVI relative errors for self and cast shadows were 4.32% and 1.51% respectively. The coefficient of determination between cosi and SEVI was only 0.032 and the coefficient of variation (std/mean) for SEVI was 12.59%. The results indicate that the proposed SEVI effectively eliminated the effect of terrain shadows and achieved similar or better results than conventional vegetation indices with topographic correction.

Hybrid experimental performance of a full‐scale two‐story buckling‐restrained braced RC frame

This paper proposes a novel implementation of buckling‐restrained braces (BRB) in new reinforced concrete (RC) frame construction. Seismic design and analysis methods for using a proposed steel cast‐in anchor bracket (CAB) to transfer normal and shear forces between the BRB and RC members are investigated. A full‐scale two‐story RC frame with BRBs (BRB‐RCF) is tested using hybrid and cyclic loading test procedures. The BRBs were arranged in a zigzag configuration and designed to resist 70% of the story shear. The gusset design incorporates the BRB axial and RCF actions, while the beam and column members comply with ACI 318‐14 seismic design provisions. Test results confirm that the BRBs enhanced the RCF stiffness, strength, and ductility. The hysteresis energy dissipation ratios in the four hybrid tests range from 60% to 94% in the two stories, indicating that BRBs can effectively dissipate seismic input energy. When the inter‐story drift ratio for both stories reached 3.5% in the cyclic loading test, the overall lateral force versus deformation response was still very stable. No failure of the proposed steel CABs and RC discontinuity regions was observed. This study demonstrates that the proposed design and construction methods for the CABs are effective and practical for real applications. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

中高轨卫星广播星历精度分析

GPS广播星历参数具有物理意义明确、参数少、精度高等优点,可以考虑将它应用于其他卫星导航系统。但是GPS系统的卫星构成比较单一,而其他卫星导航系统可能包含中地球轨道 (MEO)、倾斜地球同步轨道(IGSO)和地球静止轨道(GEO)等多种不同类型的中高轨卫星。分析了采用GPS广播星历参数时,MEO、IGSO和GEO卫星的广播星历拟合精度,特别讨论了轨道倾角接近于0的GEO卫星的广播星历拟合精度,并给出了相应的改进措施。计算表明,对于 MEO卫星,2 h的广播星历拟合精度(三维位置)可达厘米级;对于IGSO卫星和轨道倾角较大的GEO卫星,4 h的广播星历拟合精度约为0．1 m,径向位置误差在厘米量级;而对于轨道倾角接近于0的GEO卫星,若不采取特殊措施,由于轨道倾角和升交点经度统计相关,其广播星历拟合精度很差,为此提出了一种坐标转换方法。采用此方法后的广播星历拟合精度可达0．1 m,径向位置误差为厘米量级。     

XCC pile installation effect in soft soil ground: A simplified analytical model

This paper presents a simplified analytical model: the X-shaped cylindrical cavity expansion method (XCEM), which can be used to interpret and predict the displacement, stress, and excess pore pressure caused by the X-section cast in place concrete (XCC) pile installation in soft soil. Analytical solutions for the displacement and strain field are obtained with a streamlined solution, base on the strain path method (SPM). The stress and excess pore pressure can then be subsequently determined with the assumption of the elastic-perfectly plastic soil behavior. A positive agreement was found when the theoretical prediction of the displacement, stress, and excess pores pressure was compared against the field measurements. The proposed XCEM improves the conventional cavity expansion method (CEM) and offers a framework for understanding the non-circular cross-section penetrator problem, which is different from the conventional circular penetrator problem.

A preliminary discussion on the bio-metallogenesis of Tl deposits in the low-temperature minerogenetic province of southwestern China

Starting with the research status of bio-metallogenesis of Tl deposits and their geology, this work deals with the geological background of Tl enrichment and mineralization and the mechanism of bio- metal-logenesis of Tl deposits, as exemplified by Tl deposits in the low-temperature minerogenetic province. This research on the bio-metallogenesis of Tl deposits is focused on the correlations between bio-enrichment and Tl, the enrichment of Tl in micro-paleo-animals in rocks and ores, bio-fossil casts in Tl-rich ores, the involvement of bio-sulfur in minerogenesis and the enrichment of bio-genetic organic carbon in Tl ores. Thallium deposits have experienced two ore-forming stages: syngenetic bio- en-richment and epigenetic hydrothermal reworking (or transformation). Owing to the intense epigenetic hydrothermal reworking, almost no bio-residues remain in syngenetically bio-enriched Tl ores, thereby the Tl deposits display the characteristics of hydrothermally reoworked deposits.     

Evaluation of the long term groundwater pollution by the open cast lignite mine Jänschwalde (Germany)

The reconstruction of the hydrogeochemical composition of the dumps in the active Lusatian lignite mining region is necessary to forecast the acid mine drainage into the residual lakes and the natural groundwater systems. Therefore, a three-dimensional geochemical model of the Jänschwalde dump was developed. By analysing the geological situation and the mining technology, it is possible to calculate the pyrite oxidation in different parts of the mine (groundwater lowering in front of the mine, natural and dump slopes, marginal pits and the dump surface).Only 4% of the total pyrite content is oxidised during the mining process within its time of operation (43 years). The major fraction (about 60%) is oxidised on the surface of the dumps, whereas the other zones contribute less to the production of acidity (groundwater lowering 5.4%, short term exposed slopes (1.2% natural slopes; 7.4% dump slopes) and 22.4% inclusion of O₂ during the tipping). It may be concluded that the technology of conveyor belt bridges, combined with the selective tipping of loamy sediments on the surface is very favourable to minimise the oxidation of pyrite. It is also shown that in the open cast mine of Jänschwalde the buffer capacity of the carbonate dominates over the produced acid.
