Satellite imaging as a technique for obtaining disease-related data.

چکیده

Because of its initial expense, remote sensing imagery has been frequently ignored in studying the epidemiology and ecology of human and animal diseases. However, these digital images have many advantages when the theoretical restrictions and constraints on the data are understood. Remote sensing imagery has the potential significantly to improve the effectiveness and delivery of disease control programmes. As soon as it can be integrated into the operational aspects of programmes, remote sensing imagery will pass from being a data-driven research tool to being need-driven.

Isolation and optimization of mice skeletal muscle satellite cells using preplating method and culture media substitution

Introduction: Satellite cells are known as the main regenerative cell type in skeletal muscles. Our study established a modified digestion and preplating method for the isolation of slow or weak adherent cells for the enrichment of satellite cells. Low-survival rate of these primary stem cells prompted us to address whether cell culture medium substitution might change cell viability status. M...

Microwave Imaging Using SAR

Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (Pol.-SAR) allows us to implement the recognition and classification of radar targets. This article investigates the arrangement of scatterers by SAR data and proposes a new Look-up Table of Region (LTR). This look-up table is based on the combination of (entropy H/Anisotropy A) and (Anisotropy A/scattering mechanism α), which has not been reported up now. ...
