Assessing of Forest Structure Using Earth Observation Data: A Case Study in Munessa Forest, Oromia Region, Ethiopia
Abstract: Understanding forest structure is crucial for estimating carbon emissions associated with forests, assessing forest degradation, and evaluating the success of forest restoration efforts. However, forest structure quantification is limited to the area of interest without considering the whole forest coverage. Forest structure may be easily assessed over a wide area using data from remote sensing. Thus, by combining ground observation with satellite-based light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and Sentinel 2 …

Thermal Stability of Compatibilised Natural Rubber/ Chitosan Blends
Abstract: The thermal degradation behavior of Natural Rubber /Chitosan (NR/CS) blends compatibilised with maleic anhydride (MA) was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The TGA shows that the MA modified blends are more stable than the pure blends. MA acts as a reactive compatibiliser in NR/CS blends. MA grafted NR chain is highly reactive towards the functional group on the chitosan moiety, and when pressing at elevated temperature interaction develops between the …
