Vegetation phenology as well as the current variability and dynamics of vegetation and land cover, including its climatic and human drivers, are examined in a region in north-western Morocco that is nearly 22 700 km<sup>2</sup> big.A gapless time series of Normalized Differenced Vegetation Index (NDVI) composite raster data from 29 Sept
Despite the importance of thermoelastic properties of minerals in geology and geophysics, their measurement at high pressures and temperatures are still challenging.Thus, ab initio calculations are an essential tool for predicting these properties at extreme conditions.Owing to the approximate description of the exchange-correlation energy, approxi
Objectives: To evaluate the impact of implants number and attachments type on the peri-implant stresses and retention of maxillary palateless implant-supported overdenture.Materials and Methods: Four edentulous maxillary educational acrylic resin models were used.According to the implants number and type of attachment used, four groups were compare
Recently, the availability of multi-model ensemble prediction methods has permitted a shift from a scenario-based approach to a risk-based approach in assessing the effects of climate change.This provides more useful information to decision-makers who need probability estimates to assess the Above Ground (Sanitation) seriousness of the projected im
Energy-dissipating or 3HV damping systems have been widely used in new and retrofitted structures for reducing earthquake damage to structural frames.Most damping devices were installed using diagonal or chevronbrace configurations, until the development of toggle-brace and scissor-jack configurations.This paper presents a modified scissor-jack-dam
