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

“…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. The strong upward trend in the residuals evident from 1983, 1991, 1998 to 2007 was indicative of vegetation improvements. …”

Primordial gravitational waves as probe of dark matter in interferometer missions: Fisher forecast and MCMC by Anish Ghoshal, Debarun Paul, Supratik Pal

“…We find that future GW detectors BBO, DECIGO, ET, for instance, are able to probe DM mass for 5 × 106 GeV < M DM < 1.6 × 107 GeV with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) > 10, along with the observed amount of baryon asymmetry due to gravitational leptogenesis for heavy RHN mass M N $$ {M}_{\mathcal{N}} $$ to be around 8 × 1012 GeV. Employing Fisher matrix forecast analysis, we identify the parameter space involving non-minimal coupling to gravity ξ, reheating temperature of the Universe T rh and DM mass M DM where the GW detector-sensitivities will be the maximum with the least error, along with SNR > 10. …”
