Surface Water Pollution of Major Rivers in the Republic of Macedonia
Abstract In this paper an analysis of the concentrations of BOD5, total ammonium, nitrates, nitrites and orthophosphates in the major rivers (Vardar, Bregalnica and Crna River) in Republic Macedonia for the period 2000-2008 will be conducted. In our ...

Modeling gross primary production of two steppes in Northern China using MODIS time series and climate data
Abstract Terrestrial carbon cycle plays an important role in global climate change. As a key component of terrestrial carbon cycle, gross primary production (GPP) is a major determinant of the exchange of carbon between the atmosphere and...

The naked planet Earth: Most essential pre-requisite for the origin and evolution of life
Abstract Our blue planet Earth has long been regarded to carry full of nutrients for hosting life since the birth of the planet. Here we speculate the processes that led to the birth of early life on Earth and its aftermath, finally leading to the...

Origins of the supercontinent cycle
Abstract The supercontinent cycle, by which Earth history is seen as having been punctuated by the episodic assembly and breakup of supercontinents, has influenced the rock record more than any other geologic phenomena, and its recognition is...

Infrared radiation signature of exhaust plume from solid propellants with different energy characteristics
Abstract The infrared radiation signature of the plume from solid propellants with different energy characteristics is not the same. Three kinds of double-base propellants of different energy characteristics are chosen to measure the infrared...

A typology of different development and testing options for symbolic regression modelling of measured and calculated datasets
Abstract Data-driven modelling is used to develop two alternative types of predictive environmental model: a simulator, a model of a real-world process developed from either a conceptual understanding of physical relations and/or using measured...

Determination of the Intrinsic Diode Parameters of Polymer Solar Cells
Abstract Polymer solar cells offer a promising low cost alternative in photovoltaics if the expensive ITO electrode can be omitted. Recently an alternative based on highly conductive PEDOT:PSS in combination with current collecting grids was...

On the stress–force–fabric relationship for granular materials
Abstract This paper employed the theory of directional statistics to study the stress state of granular materials from the particle scale. The work was inspired by the stress–force–fabric relationship proposed by Rothenburg and Bathurst (1989),...
