This document discusses active and passive remote sensing sensors. It defines sensors as devices that record reflected or emitted energy without contacting the target. Sensors are classified as active or passive, with active sensors providing their own illumination and passive sensors detecting natural energy. Examples of active sensors include RADARSAT-1 and LISS-1, while examples of passive sensors are SPOT-1 and LANDSAT-1. The key difference is that active sensors can collect data day or night, while passive sensors rely on natural illumination. Applications and advantages and disadvantages of each type are also summarized.
Also known as geospatial data or geographic information it is the data or information that identifies the geographic location of features and boundaries on Earth, such as natural or constructed features, oceans, and more. Spatial data is usually stored as coordinates and topology, and is data that can be mapped.

Remote Sensing and its Applications in AgricultureVikas Kashyap
Here is a presentation prepared by me on Remote sensing and its Applications in agriculture. This presentation created after studying many regarding websites, articles and research papers. Thank You
Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object and thus in contrast to in situ observation. In modern usage, the term generally refers to the use of aerial sensor technologies to detect and classify objects on Earth (both on the surface, and in the atmosphere and oceans) by means of propagated signals (e.g. electromagnetic radiation). It may be split into active remote sensing (when a signal is first emitted from aircraft or satellites)[1][2][3] or passive (e.g. sunlight) when information is merely recorded.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

6. Active Sensors: Active Remote sensors create their
own electromagnetic energy that is transmitted
from the sensor towards the terrain, interacts
with the terrain producing a backscatter of
energy and is recorded by the remote sensor’s receiver.
Passive Sensors: Passive sensor detects the naturally
emitted microwave energy within its field of view.

11. Active Sensors
Active transducers generate electric current
or voltage directly in response to
environmental stimulation.
Active sensors provides their own energy
source for illumination.
Active sensors are able to obtain
measurements anytime (Day & Night).
Passive Sensors
Passive transducers produce a change in
some passive electrical quantity, such as
capacitance, resistance, or inductance, as a
result of stimulation. These usually require
additional electrical energy for excitation.
Passive sensors can only be used to detect
energy when the naturally occurring energy
is available.
Passive Sensors can obtain measurements
only in the Day time.
12. Advantages Disadvantages
Better control of noise sources through
control of injected signal.
Because both sources and receivers are
under the surveyor's control, he must supply
both. Therefore, field equipment tends to be
more complex
Because propagating fields are generally
measured, active experiments usually
provide better depth control over source of
anomalous signal.
Field operations and logistics are generally
more complex and time consuming than
passive experiments.
Many different source/receiver configurations
can be used allowing for a wide variety of
survey designs. This allows survey designers
great flexibility in customizing surveys for
particular problems.
Many different source/receiver configurations
can be used allowing for a wide variety of
survey designs. The increase in the number
of field options inevitably leads to greater
survey design costs and potentially to
increased probability of field mishaps.
Once set up, active experiments are capable of
producing vast quantities of data that can be used
to interpret subtle details of the earth's subsurface.
The large quantity of data obtained in many
active experiments can become
overwhelming to process and interpret.
13. Advantages Disadvantages
Surveyor need only record a naturally
occurring field; therefore, he need supply
only a sensor and a data recorder.
Less control of noise because source of the
signal is out of the control of the surveyor.
Field operations are generally very time
efficient. Thus, passive experiments can be
run over wider areas in a more cost-effective
manner.
Because passive fields are generally the
result of integrating anomalous geologic
contributions over wide areas, identification
of the source of an anomalous reading can
be difficult.
One or two well-established field procedures
are generally used. Contractors can provide
these surveys on short notice with relatively
easily quantifiable results.
One or two well-established field procedures
is generally used. This limits the amount of
customization that can be done for specific
problems.
Interpretation of the limited set of
observations can be accomplished with
modest computational requirements quickly
and efficiently.
The data sets collected in passive
experiments are smaller than those collected
in active experiments and usually do not
allow for as detailed an interpretation.
