Little is, however, known about the link between the upper Rwizi macro-watershed health and land use/cover pat…
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/dark-energy-as-an-information-field-and-attribute-of-the-universeThe hypothesis that information is the same attribute of the Universe as space, time and matter, which appeared after the Big Bang and its carrier is the dark energy, is proposed. We assume that along with the development of matter and space-time continuum the development of informati…
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/gravity-anomaly-and-basement-estimation-using-spectral-analysisGravity survey and interpretations play a very vital role more especially in petroleum prospecting. Spectral analysis of gravity anomaly has been successful in the estimation of sedimentary basement. Spectral analysis technique can be used in designing filter for the residual and region…
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/temporal-fluctuations-scaling-analysis-power-law-of-ramp-rate-s-variance-for-pv-power-outputThe characterization of irradiance variability needs tools to describe and quantify variability at different time scales in order to optimally integrate PV onto electrical grids. Recently in the literature, a metric called nominal variability defines the int…
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/superoxide-dismutase-in-psychiatric-diseasesAs with many other human diseases, oxidative stress is implicated in many neuropsychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and Alzheimer's disease. Due to high oxygen consumption and a lipid-rich environment, the brain is highly susceptible to oxidative stress or redox imb…

This issue has, however, not yet been adequately analysed in Kigezi highlands of South Western Uganda. In this study, soil properties such as dispersion, grain size …
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/frontiers-of-brachial-plexus-injury-future-revolutions-in-the-fieldThe field of brachial plexus surgery has undergone dramatic changes in the past 40 years. Most of these have been incremental in nature. We have seen increased use of nerve grafts and nerve transfers. We have seen the introduction of robotic limb replacements for the most severe fl…

In addition to many others, it is associated with various disorders of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus metabolism which usually appears early in …
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/binarization-based-on-maximum-and-average-gray-valuesMany image processing techniques use binarization for object detection in images, where the objects and background are well distinct by their brightness values, where, the threshold level is globally assigned, on the other hand, if it's adaptive, the threshold level is locally calculated. In orde…
