Authors: Mustafa, Y. T.; Advisor: -; Participants: - (2015) - Monitoring and mapping of urban trees are essential to provide urban forestry authorities with timely and consistent information. Modern techniques increasingly facilitate these tasks, but require the development of semi-automatic tree detection and classification methods. In this article, we propose an approach to delineate and map the crown of 15 tree species in the city of Duhok, Kurdistan Region of Iraq using WorldView-2 (WV-2) imagery. A tree crown object is identified first and is subsequently delineated as an image object (IO) using vegetation indices and texture measurements. Next, three classification methods: Maximum Likelihood, Neural Network, and Support Vector Machine wer...

Authors: Bokolia, Naveen Prakash; Advisor: -; Participants: Gadepalli, Ravisekhar (2023) - Previous research investigation determined the abundance levels of subgenomic RNAs from the COVID-19 patient samples (Alexandersen et al. 2020). Authors mapped the NGS reads data to subgenomic RNAs in order to identify the abundance of particular subgenomic RNA from the patient samples (Alexandersen et al. 2020). NGS reads mapped results revealed that Orf7a and N subgenomic were in high abundance, whereas Orf8, Orf6, and E subgenomic were relatively low (in an increasing order). These subgenomic RNAs are present several fold higher in comparison with whole genome fragments. Therefore, the present study seek to identify the possible conserved regions nearby the TRS or initiation codon ...

Authors: Chang, L.; Advisor: -; Participants: Ku, O.; Hanssen, R. (2018) - As InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) can routinely deliver global ground deformation observations on a weekly basis, with millimetre-level precision, it can be a cost-effective, and less labour intensive tool to monitor surface deformation changes due to hydrocarbon production activities. Aimed at identifying the associated deformation pattern changes, this study focuses on InSAR deformation model optimization, in order to automatically detect irregularities, both spatially and temporally. We apply multiple hypothesis testing to determine the best model based on a library of physically realistic canonical deformation models. We develop a cluster-wise constrained least-s...

Authors: Pour-Aboughadareh, Alireza; Advisor: -; Participants: Sanjani, Sara; Hamidreza Nikkhah-Chamanabad,; Mehrvar,Mohammad Reza; Asadi, Ameneh; Amini, Ashkboos (2021) - Salinity stress significantly decreased growth and physiological traits in all seedling plants; however, some salt-tolerant genotypes showed minimal reduction in the measured traits. Multivariate analysis grouped the measured traits and genotypes into different clusters. In the early growth stage, the G12, G14, G6, G7, and G16 were selected as the most salt-tolerant genotypes using MGIDI index. In the multi-environment trials experiment, AMMI analysis showed that grain yields of the tested barley genotypes were influenced by the environment (E), genotype (G), and GE interaction. Based on the weighted average of absolute scores of the genotype index (WAASB) and other stability statisti...

Authors: Vetrivel, A.; Advisor: -; Participants: - (2016) - Automatic post-disaster mapping of building damage using remote sensing images is an important and time-critical element of disaster management. The characteristics of remote sensing images available immediately after the disaster are not certain, since they may vary in terms of capturing platform, sensor-view, image scale, and scene complexity. Therefore, a generalized method for damage detection that is impervious to the mentioned image characteristics is desirable. This study aims to develop a method to perform grid-level damage classification of remote sensing images by detecting the damage corresponding to debris, rubble piles, and heavy spalling within a defined grid, regardless...

Authors: Pastori, M.; Udias, A.; Advisor: -; Participants: - (2018) - In this study, sustainable agricultural practices were studied based on optimal allocation of irrigation water use for dominant irrigated crops in the island of Crete, Greece. According to the analysis, depending on the spatial scale and complexity of spatial optimization, water irrigation volumes could be reduced by 32%–70% while preserving current agricultural benefit. Specific management strategies also looked at ways to relocate water between administrative regions (4 prefectures in the case of Crete) to optimize crop benefit while reducing global water use. It was estimated that an optimal reallocation of water could reduce irrigation water volumes by 52% (148 Mm3/y) at the cost ...
