Current times emphasize utilization of new and promising building materials with no negative environmental impact, for reasonable price and with excellent end-use properties. Insulation materials based on natural fibers represent a good alternative for current standardly used insulation materials like foamed plastic materials and mineral wool. Input materials for such industrial insulation materials are particularly crude oil and non-renewable natural resources (moreover, manufacture of these insulation materials consumes high amount of energy). From this point of view, natural insulation materials are more advantageous, because their manufacture uses easily renewable materials resources, like fibers from agriculture (flax, technical hemp). However, these materials have two disadvantages higher sensitivity to humidity (higher water absorbing capacity and hygroscopic nature) and worse reaction to fire. The paper deals with selection of appropriate hydrophobic agent preventing high sensitivity to humidity of developed natural materials and monitoring of moisture content after application of hydrophobized materials within the frame of the ETICS system.

The high anthropogenic load characteristic of urban settlements entails the need for constant monitoring of factors that can potentially have a negative impact on the quality of the environment and the health of the population. Ground-based research methods used for spatial zoning of urbanized territories according to the level of anthropogenic load entail significant time costs, which, despite the high accuracy, significantly reduces their effectiveness. Remote sensing technologies have become a good alternative to ground-based methods. To assess the anthropogenic load of the cities of Central Russia (Voronezh, Lipetsk, Belgorod), an archive of multi-channel satellite images obtained from Landsat-7 and Landsat-8 satellites has been created. The satellite images are grouped into three periods (2001, 2016 and 2020). The processing of satellite images of the studied cities of Central Russia, as well as suburban areas, was carried out in the Scanex Image Processor software package. Spatial assessment of the ratio of the areas of anthropogenic-altered territories and the natural framework was made by determining the value of NDVI within cities and suburban ten-kilometer zones. For the analysis of satellite images of the above-mentioned time periods, equal areas of territories were allocated, where the NDVI indicators of the studied urbanized territories of the cities of Voronezh, Lipetsk, Belgorod, as well as suburban tenkilometer zones with subsequent spatial geoinformation zoning of territories according to this indicator were calculated. The obtained results made it possible to study a number of environmental quality parameters (the level of anthropogenic load, the natural framework of the territory, hydrological objects), as well as their dynamics over a twenty-year period.

AbstractWith increasing intensity of agricultural crop production increases the need to obtain information about environmental conditions in which this production takes place. Remote sensing methods, including satellite images, airborne photographs and ground-based spectral measurements can greatly simplify the monitoring of crop development and decision-making to optimize inputs on agricultural production and reduce its harmful effects on the environment. One of the earliest uses of remote sensing in agriculture is crop identification and their acreage estimation. Satellite data acquired for this purpose are necessary to ensure food security and the proper functioning of agricultural markets at national and global scales. Due to strong relationship between plant bio-physical parameters and the amount of electromagnetic radiation reflected (in certain ranges of the spectrum) from plants and then registered by sensors it is possible to predict crop yields. Other applications of remote sensing are intensively developed in the framework of so-called precision agriculture, in small spatial scales including individual fields. Data from ground-based measurements as well as from airborne or satellite images are used to develop yield and soil maps which can be used to determine the doses of irrigation and fertilization and to take decisions on the use of pesticides.

O objetivo do presente trabalho é fazer uma comparação entre a temperatura de superfície e o Índice de Vegetação por Diferença Normalizada (NDVI) na microbacia do rio da Batateiras/Crato-CE em dois períodos do ano de 2017, um chuvoso (abril) e um seco (setembro) como também analisar o mapa de diferença de temperatura nesses dois referidos períodos. Foram utilizadas imagens de satélite LANDSAT 8 (banda 10) para mensuração de temperatura e a banda 4 e 5 para geração do NDVI. As análises demonstram que no mês de abril a temperatura da superfície variou aproximadamente entre 23.2ºC e 31.06ºC, enquanto no mês correspondente a setembro, os valores variaram de 25°C e 40.5°C, sendo que as maiores temperaturas foram encontradas em locais com baixa densidade de vegetação, de acordo com a carta de NDVI desses dois meses. A maior diferença de temperatura desses dois meses foi de 14.2°C indicando que ocorre um aumento da temperatura proporcionado pelo período que corresponde a um dos mais secos da região, diferentemente de abril que está no período de chuvas e tem uma maior umidade, presença de vegetação e corpos d’água que amenizam a temperatura.Palavras-chave: Sensoriamento Remoto; Vegetação; Microbacia.                                                                                  ABSTRACTThe objective of the present work is to compare the surface temperature and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in the Batateiras / Crato-CE river basin in two periods of 2017, one rainy (April) and one (September) and to analyze the temperature difference map in these two periods. LANDSAT 8 (band 10) satellite images were used for temperature measurement and band 4 and 5 for NDVI generation. The analyzes show that in April the surface temperature varied approximately between 23.2ºC and 31.06ºC, while in the month corresponding to September, the values ranged from 25ºC and 40.5ºC, and the highest temperatures were found in locations with low density of vegetation, according to the NDVI letter of these two months. The highest difference in temperature for these two months was 14.2 ° C, indicating that there is an increase in temperature provided by the period that corresponds to one of the driest in the region, unlike April that is in the rainy season and has a higher humidity, presence of vegetation and water bodies that soften the temperature.Key-words: Remote sensing; Vegetation; Microbasin.RESUMENEl objetivo del presente trabajo es hacer una comparación entre la temperatura de la superficie y el Índice de Vegetación de Diferencia Normalizada (NDVI) en la cuenca Batateiras / Crato-CE en dos períodos de 2017, uno lluvioso (abril) y uno (Septiembre), así como analizar el mapa de diferencia de temperatura en estos dos períodos.

The article opens a cycle of three consecutive publications dedicated to the phenomenon of the displacement of the same points in overlapping scans obtained adjacent CCD matrices with opto-electronic imagery. This phenomenon was noticed by other authors, but the proposed explanation for the origin of displacements and the resulting estimates are insufficient, and developed their solutions seem controversial from the point of view of recovery of the measuring accuracy of opticalelectronic space images, determined by the physical laws of their formation. In the first article the mathematical modeling of the expected displacements based on the design features of a scanning opto-electronic imaging equipment. It is shown that actual bias cannot be forecast, because they include additional terms, which may be gross, systematic and random values. The proposed algorithm for computing the most probable values of the additional displacement and ways to address some of the systematic components of these displacements in a mathematical model of optical-electronic remote sensing.
