Sub-pixel scale fractions computed from spectral mixture analysis (SMA) provide improvements over vegetation indices for extracting forest biophysical information such as LAI, biomass and NPP for use in forest inventories and regional scale carbon budget models. The acquisition of endmember spectra of forest canopy, ground vegetation and shadow is a critical input to spectral mixture analysis. ...

There are many advantages of using code generators, for example, reducing the number of programming hours, thus allowing the SAS users to focus on analysis. Another example, in cases like this, is reducing the cost of CPU. This project was designed with interaction on multiple platforms: Unix, Windows, and Mainframe. It is difficult to synchronize the programs running on these different platfor...

FimH is the tip adhesin of mannose-specific type 1 fimbriae of Escherichia coli, which are critical to the pathogenesis of urinary tract infections. Point FimH mutations increasing monomannose (1M)-specific uroepithelial adhesion are commonly found in uropathogenic strains of E. coli. Here, we demonstrate the emergence of a mixed population of clonally identical E. coli strains in the urine of ...
