Influence of surface roughness measurement scale on radar backscattering in different agricultural soils
Soil surface roughness strongly affects the scattering of microwaves on the soil surface and determines the backscattering coefficient (σ 0 ) observed by radar sensors. Previous studies have shown important scale issues ... -
Assessing hillslope-channel connectivity in an agricultural catchment using rare-earth oxide tracers and random forests models
Soil erosion from agricultural areas is a large problem because of off-site effects like the rapid filling of reservoirs. To mitigate the problem of sediments from agricultural areas reaching the channel, reservoirs and ... -
Understanding top management's decision-making on implementing project management systems: an exploratory study
Top Management’s motivation to invest in improving their organisation’s Project Management processes and practices is arguably an important under-researched phenomenon. In this paper we present the results of an exploratory ... -
Prediction of main potato compounds by NIRS
Potato (Solanum tuberosum, L) compounds are generally determined by analytical methods including gasliquid chromatography (GLC), HPLC and UV-VIS spectrophotometry. These methods require a lot of time and are destructive. ... -
A multi-year analysis of traffic accidents involving agricultural tractors
The agricultural sector in Spain is responsible for a high rate of accidents every year, and many of them are traffic accidents. Tractors are a relatively rare sight on roads, meaning that the incidence of accidents involving ... -
Non-destructive detection of blackspot in potatoes by Vis-NIR and SWIR hyperspectral imaging
Blackspot is a subsurface potato damage resulting from impacts during harvesting. This type of bruising represents substantial economic losses every year. As the tubers do not show external symptoms, bruise detection in ... -
Phytochemicals determination and classification in purple and red fleshed potato tubers by analytical methods and near infrared spectroscopy
BACKGROUND: Over the last two decades, the attractive colours and shapes of pigmented tubers and the increasing concern about the relationship between nutrition and health have contributed to the expansion of their ... -
Bulk optical of potato flesh in the 500 – 1900 nm range
In this study, the optical properties of potato flesh tissue were estimated using double-integrating sphere (DIS) measurements combined with an inverse adding-doubling (IAD) light propagation model. Total reflectance, ... -
A review of the application of near-infrared spectroscopy for the analysis of potatoes
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most important crops in the world being considered as a staple food in many developing countries. The potato industry like other vegetable and fruit industries is subject to the ... -
Sulfate soils stabilization with magnesium-based binders
Sulfate soils' stabilization is a very interesting subject with technical, economic and environmental implications. The difficulty of their stabilization is due to the fact that the usual stabilizer additives are based ... -
Estimated and real durability of unfired clay bricks: Determining factorsand representativeness of the laboratory tests
This paper presents an analysis of the representativeness of the main laboratory tests and the real dura-bility of earth-based construction materials. For this study, a natural marl soil, mixed with different per-centages ... -
Magnesium oxide as alternative binder for unfired clay bricks manufacturing
Replacement of fired bricks by unfired ones could be an effective way to reduce the building industryenvironmental footprint: Their manufacture not only requires less energy and natural resources but alsogenerates less waste. ... -
Sustainable unfired bricks manufacturing from construction and demolition wastes
The management of construction and demolition wastes is a huge challenge for most Governments. Thegreatest component of such wastes is concrete and masonry fragments or remains. Among the most com-mon approaches to ... -
Effect of initial step height on headcut development in upland concentrated flows
Experiments were conducted to examine the effect of initial step height on growth, development, and upstream migration of headcuts in concentrated flows typical of rills, crop furrows, and ephemeral gullies. In a laboratory ... -
Evaluation of a gully headcut retreat model using multitemporal aerial photographs and digital elevation models
A large fraction of soil erosion in temperate climate systems proceeds from gully headcut growth processes. Nevertheless, headcut retreat is not well understood. Few erosion models include gully headcut growth processes, ... -
Technical and environmental characterization of hydraulic and alkaline binders
Portland cement is a widely used binder in construction and building applications because of its good properties. Despite its convenience as construction material, the social demands and policies trends are requesting a ... -
Desarrollo de productos avanzados para la misión SEOSAT/Ingenio
SEOSAT/Ingenio es la futura misión española de observación de la Tierra en el óptico en alta resolución espacial. Mientras que los productos de imagen a Nivel 1, radiancias geo-referenciadas a nivel de sensor, se encuentran ... -
Beyond precipitation: physiographic gradients dictate the relative importance of environmental drivers on savanna vegetation
Background: Understanding the drivers of large-scale vegetation change is critical to managing landscapes and key to predicting how projected climate and land use changes will affect regional vegetation patterns. This ... -
Caracterización del modelo HEC-HMS en la cuenca de río Arga en Pamplona y su aplicación a cinco avenidas significativas
Pamplona es una ciudad que es atravesada por el río Arga a lo largo de una llanura aluvial, que es susceptible de inundaciones cuando se producen avenidas de cierta magnitud. Ante esta situación es importante contar con ... -
Monitoring water vapour with GNSS during a heavy rainfall event in the Spanish Mediterranean area
The Spanish Mediterranean area is periodically affected by torrential rainfall events during autumn. In September 2012, one of these episodes took place with up to 50 mm of rain in a 1-hour period and with more than 300 ...
