Effects of Climate Variability on Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in the Gojeb River Catchment, Omo-Gibe Basin, Ethiopia by Melku Dagnachew, Asfaw Kebede, Awdenegest Moges, Adane Abebe

“…Accordingly, the significant NDVI decrement in the downstream portion and significant increment in the northern portion of the catchment could be attributed to human-induced vegetation degradation and the variability of rainfall, respectively. The dominance of a decreasing trend in the residuals at the pixel level for the NDVI from 1982, 1984, 2000, 2008 to 2012 indicates vegetation degradation. …”

Mechanical properties and piecewise constitutive model of fine sandstone in mining area of western China by Qing Wang, Dongxiao Zhang, Fei Han, Yongqiang Zhao, Pengfei Zhang, Feng Xiong

“…Owing to the closure of the primary pores in the microfracture compaction stage, dominant matrix deformation in the elastic deformation stage, and development and expansion of cracks in the plastic failure stage, with an increase in the cyclic loading and unloading times, the dissipative energy ratio first decreased and then increased. (3) Based on the tangential modulus, residual strain, and Felicity ratio, fine sandstone’s cyclic loading and unloading stress-strain curves were divided into microfracture compaction, elastic deformation, and plastic failure stages. …”
