Interlayer Registry Determines the Sliding Potential of Layered Metal Dichalcogenides: The case of 2H-MoS2

, 2012
We provide a simple and intuitive explanation for the interlayer sliding energy landscape of metal dichalcogenides. Based on the recently introduced registry index (RI) concept, we define a purely geometrical parameter which quantifies the degree of ...

Mapping a knowledge-based malaria hazard index related to landscape using remote sensing : application to the cross-border area between French Guiana and Brazil [PDF]

, 2016
Malaria remains one of the most common vector-borne diseases in the world and the definition of novel control strategies can benefit from the modeling of transmission processes.

A SAR-Based Index for Landscape Changes in African Savannas [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2017
Change detection is one of the main applications in earth observation but currently there are only a few approaches based on radar imagery. Available techniques strongly focus on optical data. These techniques are often limited to static analyses of image pairs and are frequently lacking results which address the requirements of the user. Some of these

Spatiotemporal analysis of the impact of urban landscape forms on PM2.5 in China from 2001 to 2020

International Journal of Digital Earth, 2023
Urban landscape forms can be effective in reducing increasing PM2.5 concentrations due to urbanization in China, making it crucially important to accurately quantify the spatiotemporal impact of urban landscape forms on PM2.5 variations.

Quantifying the Scale Effect of the Relationship between Land Surface Temperature and Landscape Pattern

Remote Sensing, 2023
The spatial scaling of patterns and processes is a hot topic of research in landscape ecology, and different scales may yield completely inconsistent results. Therefore, to understand the impact of the scale effect on urban heat island effect, this study

The statistics of critical points of Gaussian fields on large-dimensional spaces

, 2006
We calculate the average number of critical points of a Gaussian field on a high-dimensional space as a function of their energy and their index. Our results give a complete picture of the organization of critical points and are of relevance to glassy ...

Wetness index based on landscape position and topography (WILT): Modifying TWI to reflect landscape position.

Journal of Environmental Management, 2019
Water and land resource management planning benefits greatly from accurate prediction and understanding of the spatial distribution of wetness. The topographic wetness index (TWI) was conceived to predict relative surface wetness, and thus hydrologic ...
