Semi-steppe rangelands are a complex, highly dynamic and often multi-layered mosaic of grassland, shrubland, and intermediate communities. A few recent studies have explicitly or implicitly developed synthetic hypotheses about how interactive effects of human made disturbances initiate dynamic changes in plant community composition to cause a shifting mosaic of vegetation pattern across the lan...

In this paper, we present an in-depth analysis of the use convolutional neural networks (CNN), a deep learning method widely applied in remote sensing-based studies recent years, for burned area (BA) mapping combining radar and optical datasets acquired by Sentinel-1 Sentinel-2 on-board sensors, respectively. Combining active passive into seamless wall-to-wall cloud cover independent algorithm ...

We evaluated the accurate fluid requirement to prevent respiratory failure during the postresuscitation period in the resuscitation of massively burned children without inhalation injury. Forty-nine children were treated by similar fluid resuscitation and physiologic support protocols. Using a retrospective chart review, the children were divided into three groups as follows: Group N (no lung i...
