  2. Enhanced vegetation index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_vegetation_index

    2011 Enhanced vegetation index based on MODIS Terra data. The enhanced vegetation index (EVI) is an 'optimized' vegetation index designed to enhance the vegetation signal with improved sensitivity in high biomass regions and improved vegetation monitoring through a de-coupling of the canopy background signal and a reduction in atmosphere influences.

  3. Animal echolocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_echolocation

    For example, bats increase the repetition rate of their calls (that is, decrease the pulse interval) as they home in on a target. This allows the bat to get new information regarding the target's location at a faster rate when it needs it most. Secondly, the pulse interval determines the maximum range that bats can detect objects.

  4. Doppler shift compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_shift_compensation

    This keeps the returning echo in the same frequency range as the normal echolocation call. This dynamic frequency modulation is called the Doppler shift compensation (DSC), and was discovered by Hans Schnitzler in 1968. [1] CF bats employ the DSC mechanism to maintain the echo frequency within a narrow frequency range. [2]

  5. Species distribution modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species_Distribution_Modelling

    Species distribution modelling (SDM), also known as environmental (or ecological) niche modelling (ENM), habitat modelling, predictive habitat distribution modelling, and range mapping [1] uses ecological models to predict the distribution of a species across geographic space and time using environmental data. The environmental data are most ...

  6. Cot analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cot_analysis

    C 0 t analysis, a technique based on the principles of DNA reassociation kinetics, is a biochemical technique that measures how much repetitive DNA is in a DNA sample such as a genome. [1] It is used to study genome structure and organization and has also been used to simplify the sequencing of genomes that contain large amounts of repetitive ...

  7. Range ambiguity resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_ambiguity_resolution

    The difference between the sample numbers where reflection signal is found for these two PRF will be about the same as the number of the ambiguous range intervals between the radar and the reflector (i.e.: if the reflection falls in sample 3 for PRF 1 and in sample 5 for PRF 2, then the reflector is in ambiguous range interval 2=5-3).

  8. Research proposal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_proposal

    A research proposal is a document proposing a research project, generally in the sciences or academia, and generally constitutes a request for sponsorship of that research. [1] Proposals are evaluated on the cost and potential impact of the proposed research, and on the soundness of the proposed plan for carrying it out. [2] Research proposals ...

  9. Multibeam echosounder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multibeam_echosounder

    A multibeam echosounder is a device typically used by hydrographic surveyors to determine the depth of water and the nature of the seabed. Most modern systems work by transmitting a broad acoustic fan shaped pulse from a specially designed transducer across the full swathe acrosstrack with a narrow alongtrack then forming multiple receive beams (beamforming) that are much narrower in the ...
