The red mud disaster occurred on 4th October 2010 in Hungary has raised the necessity of rapid intervention and drew attention to the long-term monitoring of such threat. Both the condition assessment and the change monitoring indispensably required the prompt and detailed spatial survey of the impact area. It was conducted by several research groups - independently - with different recent surveying methods. The high spatial resolution multispectral aerial photogrammetry is the spatially detailed (high resolution) and accurate type of remote sensing. The hyperspectral remote sensing provides more information about material quality of pollutants, with less spatial details and lower spatial accuracy, while LIDAR ensures the three-dimensional shape and terrain models. The article focuses on the high spatial resolution, multispectral electrooptical method and the evaluation methodology of the deriving high spatial resolution ortho image map, presenting the derived environmental information database

Abstract Without the intrinsic magnetic field, the solar wind interaction with Mars can be significantly different from the interaction with Earth and other magnetized planets. In this paper, we investigate how a global configuration of the magnetic structures, consisting of the bow shock, the induced magnetosphere, and the magnetotail, is modulated by the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientation. A 3D multispecies numerical model is established to simulate the interaction of solar wind with Mars under different IMF directions. The results show that the shock size including the subsolar distance and the terminator radius increases with Parker spiral angle, as is the same case with the magnetotail radius. The location and shape of the polarity reversal layer and inverse polarity reversal layer in the induced magnetotail are displaced to the y < 0 sector for a nonzero flow-aligned IMF component, consistent with previous analytical solutions and observations. The responses of the Martian global magnetic configuration to the different IMF directions suggest that the external magnetic field plays an important role in the solar wind interaction with unmagnetized planets.

The use of the new generation of remote sensors, such as echo sounders and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers with differential correction installed in a drone, allows the acquisition of high-precision data in areas of shallow water, as in the case of the channel of the Encañizadas in the Mar Menor lagoon. This high precision information is the first step to develop the methodology to monitor the bathymetry of the Mar Menor channels. The use of high spatial resolution satellite images is the solution for monitoring many hydrological changes and it is the basis of the three-dimensional (3D) numerical models used to study transport over time, environmental variability, and water ecosystem complexity.

AbstractThe knowledge of composition and strain with high spatial resolution is highly important for the understanding of the chemical and electronic properties of alloyed nanostructures. Several applications require a precise knowledge of both composition and strain, which can only be extracted by self-consistent methodologies. Here, we demonstrate the use of a quantitative high resolution transmission electron microscopy (QHRTEM) technique to obtain two-dimensional (2D) projected chemical maps of epitaxially grown Ge-Si:Si(001) islands, with high spatial resolution, at different crystallographic orientations. By a combination of these data with an iterative simulation, it was possible infer the three-dimensional (3D) chemical arrangement on the strained Ge-Si:Si(001) islands, showing a four-fold chemical distribution which follows the nanocrystal shape/symmetry. This methodology can be applied for a large variety of strained crystalline systems, such as nanowires, epitaxial islands, quantum dots and wells, and partially relaxed heterostructures.

Abstract Aims Anatomic knowledge of the tricuspid valve (TV) is the first step in the management of patients with tricuspid regurgitation (TR) who are candidates for transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention (TTVI). Echocardiography is undoubtedly the first approach in assessing the aetiology and severity of TR and the size and function of the right chambers. Computed tomography (CT) provides a detailed morphological visualization of the cardiac structures owing to acquisition of 3D data with high spatial resolution. These findings may undoubtedly help in decision-making progress for novel transcatheter therapies. The purpose of the present study was to assess the geometrical changes of the TV complex using CT images, in patients suffering from functional TR and lead-induced TR. Methods The study population consisted of 21 consecutive patients with symptomatic severe TR referred to Policlinico Universitario Campus Biomedico between November 2020 and October 2021. Patients were prospectively included in the study only if they presented severe TR, diagnosed by echocardiography and underwent cardiac CT study dedicated to the right-chambers. The reconstructions were transferred to an external workstation for off-line image analysis. The following measurements were reported: tricuspid annulus area, perimeter, septal–lateral and antero-posterior diameters. Commissures were identified as antero-septal (AS), postero-septal (PS) and anteroposterior (AP). Were measured the inferior vena cava ostium to tricuspid valve centroid distance, anatomic regurgitant orifice area (AROA) and its position respect to the centroid, and the right chambers. Results All 21 patients underwent CT scan using Siemens SOMATOM Definition AS 128 Slice CT Machine. The measurements were calculated off-line using the 3mensio workstation. In our study population, the annulus resulted enlarged in the annulus area, perimeter, septal-lateral and anterior-posterior dimensions. Measurements did not differ significantly, except for the septal-lateral diameter that was smaller in systole (52.80 ± 7.28 mm vs. 47.83 ± 6.83 mm (P=0.027). Also, distances between the commissures were similar except for the AP-AS distance that was shorter in systole (45.26 ± 3.48 mm vs. 42.13 ± 3.73, P=0.007). The AROA resulted to be central in 7 patients, the IVC ostium to TV centroid distance was 23±3 mm. Right chambers and IVC resulted very enlarged in all patients. Conclusions CT provides a complete morphologic imaging of the heart structures, thanks to a high spatial resolution with excellent capacity to define the endocardial border and allows acquisition of three-dimensional data with high spatial resolution of the TV and provides valuable information about the geometric variations of the tricuspid complex in patients with TR. Image quality for analysis should be optimized with specific CT acquisition protocols that focus on the right ventricles.

In the solar coronal numerical simulation, the coronal heating/acceleration and the magnetic divergence cleaning techniques are very important. The coronal–interplanetary total variation diminishing (COIN-TVD) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model is developed in recent years that can effectively realize the coronal–interplanetary three-dimensional (3D) solar wind simulation. In this study, we focus on the 3D coronal solar wind simulation by using the COIN-TVD MHD model. In order to simulate the heating and acceleration of solar wind in the coronal region, the volume heating term in the model is improved efficiently. Then, the influence of the different methods to reduce the ∇⋅B constraint error on the coronal solar wind structure is discussed. Here, we choose Carrington Rotation (CR) 2199 as a study case and try to make a comparison of the simulation results among the different magnetic divergence cleaning methods, including the diffusive method, the Powell method, and the composite diffusive/Powell method, by using the 3D COIN-TVD MHD model. Our simulation results show that with the different magnetic divergence cleaning methods, the ∇⋅B error can be reduced in different levels during the solar wind simulation. Among the three divergence cleaning methods we used, the composite diffusive/Powell method can maintain the divergence cleaning constraint better to a certain extent, and the relative magnetic field divergence error can be controlled in the order of 10−9. Although these numerical simulations are performed for the background solar corona, these methods are also suitable for the simulation of CME initiation and propagation.
