Then, certain digital image processing was applied to the satellite images, so that lithological units and photo-lineaments could be extracted. Lithological maps and lineaments’ maps were also produced. Finally, rose-diagrammes were constructed for comparing tectonic data from geological maps and lineaments derived from satellite images.

Landsat-7/ETM+ image processing A Landsat-7 ETM+ image contains both multispectral and panchromatic bands with different spatial resolutions (30m and 15m). For this reason, an image sharpening methodology (else called merging or fusion) had to be applied, so that all the bands would have the same pixel size and could be processed easier. There are numerous methodologies for this, such as Principal Components Analysis/PCA sharpening, IHS (or HSV) sharpening Figure 1.

  • Forest Fires Distribution in the Continental Area of Kavala
    JOURNAL OF Engineering Science and Journal of Engineering Science and Technology Review 9 (1) (2016) 99-102 estr Technology Review J Research Article www.jestr.org Forest Fires Distribution in the Continental Area of Kavala D Filiadis 1Forester MSc, Forest Service of Kavala, Terma Argirokastrou, GR-65404 Kavala, Greece Received 10 April 2016; Accepted 15 May 2016 ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract The prefecture of Kavala has a long history of devastating forest fire events in both its continental part and Thasos Island. Forest fire records provide useful information on spatial and temporal distribution of forest fire events after statistical analysis. In this case study, the distribution of forest fires in the continental area of Kavala prefecture is presented for the period 2001-2014 through a series of simple-method statistics and charts/graphs. The number of forest fire events and burned area are presented on a month to month and annual basis. Burned forest area is categorized in three types (forest, shrub, meadow) according to Forest Services statistical records. Legislation changes on forest-shrub definition during the aforementioned period, could potentially affect the consistency of forest fire records. Thus spatial imagery was used for a more uniform interpretation of forest-shrub definitions on the forest fire spatial data. The most destructive wildfire years were 2013 and 2001, affected mainly by a respective single large forest fire event. On the opposite 2004, 2005 and 2010 were the least destructive years for the time period studied. Mediterranean type shrub lands were by far the most affected vegetation type that were also affected by the two single large wildfire event in 2001 and 2013.

  • This Is How It All Began... Learn More About the Centre Of
    Centre of Cultivating Dialogue 1997 – 2016 THIS IS HOW IT ALL BEGAN... Back in 1997, a handful of enthusiasts initiated a program one hardly could have predicted for bright future considering the political, economic and educational situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Differences and divisions in the country were much more pronounced than today, which was especially noticed in educational program. However, sixteen years later the program can boast with a number of activities and participants to be envied by many, even most respected international programs. The first teachers to be involved in the program could not have even imagined they would be a part of the team that would participate in activities like seminars, meetings, round table discussions, and summer camps, debate activities in schools, TV debates, and world championships. Even less could they imagine that these activities would become a matter of tradition, one that future generations can look up to and admire. Since then more than 350 high school teachers from 75 Bosnian towns were educated through, on average, somewhat less than 150 activities per year. The program itself was obviously not created for teachers, but first and foremost for the benefit of young people in BiH. The goal has been to educate and train young people in debating skills and consequently in democracy and tolerance, which can be applied daily. This is Centre of Cultivating Dialogue, a program which sets debate as a contemporary method of education, through direct cooperation of all participants and constant rhetoric, cross examination, argumentation, research exercises… The total number of people involved in the aforementioned activities has grown to 33.000 and all of them have at least some experience they use today.

Greek nursery school teachers’ thoughts and self-efficacy on using ICT in relation to their school unit position: The case of Kavala. Interdisciplinary Journal of e-Skills and Life Long Learning, 12, 33-55. Retrieved from http://www.ijello.org/Volume12/IJELLv12p033-055Goumas2208.pdf Greek Nursery School Teachers’ Thoughts and Self-Efficacy on using ICT in Relation to Their School Unit Position: The Case of Kavala Stefanos Goumas, Symeon Symeonidis, and Michail Salonidis Business Administration Department, Technological Educational Institute of Eastern Macedonian and Trace, Kavala, Greece [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The purpose of this research is the exploration of the opinions and level of self-efficacy in the usage of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) of teachers in Greek pre-schools in the learning process and administration of nurseries. By using the term “usage and utilisation of ICTs in the learning process” we mean the utilisation of the capabilities that new technologies offer in an educationally appropriate way so that the learning process yields positive results. By using the term “self-efficacy” we describe the strength of one’s belief in one’s own ability to use the capabilities he or she possess. In this way, the beliefs of the person in his or her ability to use a personal computer constitute the self-efficacy in computer usage. The research sample consists of 128 pre-school teachers that work in the prefecture of Kavala. Kavala’s prefecture is a repre- sentative example of an Education Authority since it consists of urban, suburban, and rural areas.
