Radiometric correction of LANDSAT data

The author has identified the following significant results. The six independent sensors of the multispectral band scanner are supposed to be identical; however, in actual practice, they may have different gain settings and offset factors, which result in the effect known as stripping (black lines at regular intervals) of the imagery. A simple two parameter method to correct the gain settings and offset factors of each of the sensors with respect to one sensor, taken as reference, was developed. This method assumes: (1) the response of a detector varies linearly with the radiance of radiation received, and (2) the means, as well as the standard deviations, of a reasonably large number of pixels, in a given wavelength band, are equal for each of the detectors for the radiometrically corrected data

Comportamento estomático do porta-enxerto CCP 06 e da muda enxertada CCP 76/06, submetidos aos estresses hídrico e salino.

A expansão da cajucultura está apoiada, basicamente, no uso de um único porta-enxerto, para o qual há carência de estudos da interação ambiente e clone enxertado, especialmente dos efeitos dos estresses hídrico e salino, que contribuem para a redução do crescimento e da produtividade das plantas.bitstream/CNPAT-2010/9022/1/Bd-009.pd

Blowing up generalized Kahler 4-manifolds

We show that the blow-up of a generalized Kahler 4-manifold in a nondegenerate complex point admits a generalized Kahler metric. As with the blow-up of complex surfaces, this metric may be chosen to coincide with the original outside a tubular neighbourhood of the exceptional divisor. To accomplish this, we develop a blow-up operation for bi-Hermitian manifolds.Comment: 16 page

Two-dimensional electron gas in a uniform magnetic field in the presence of a delta-impurity

The density of states and the Hall conductivity of a two-dimensional electron gas in a uniform magnetic field and in the presence of a delta impurity are exactly calculated using elementary field theoretic techniques. Although these results are not new, our treatment is explicitly gauge-invariant, and can be easily adapted to other problems involving a delta potential.Comment: 12+1 pages, 1 ps figure, REVTEX.
