The global ecological environment faces many challenges. Landsat thematic mapper time-series, digital elevation models, meteorology, soil types, net primary production data, socio-economic and auxiliary data were collected in order to construct a comprehensive evaluation system for vulnerability (EV) using multi-source remote sensing data. EV was divided into five levels: potential I, slight II...

Convolutional neural networks have been proven to be of great benefit for single-image super-resolution (SISR). However, previous works do not make full use multi-scale features and ignore the inter-scale correlation between different upsampling factors, resulting in sub-optimal performance. Instead blindly increasing depth network, we are committed mining image learning factors. To achieve thi...

Previous studies have demonstrated some significant differences in HLA allele frequencies in leukemic patients and normal subjects. In Moroccan leukemic patients, the frequency of HLA alleles has not already been determined. We have analyzed HLA class I and class II alleles and haplotypes in 62 Moroccan leukemic patients and 98 unrelated normal subjects using PCR-SSO method. Significant positiv...

In this paper, we present a dynamic navigation approach (DNA) that can be combined with GPS receivers, digital maps, and wireless technologies such as DSRC, 802.11p, and WiMAX. By calculating the score, a weighted sum of average vehicle speed, average inter-vehicle distance, road type, and road gain, for each candidate road, the DNA can generate a road score table and choose the road with the h...

Short-term load forecasting (STLF) is essential for urban sustainable development. It can further contribute to the stable operation of smart grid. With development renewable energy, improving STLF accuracy has become a vital task. Nevertheless, most models based on convolutional neural network (CNN) cannot effectively extract crucial features from input data. The reason that fundamental requir...

Major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII) molecules are heterodimeric surface proteins involved in the presentation of exogenous antigens during the adaptive immune response. We demonstrate the existence of a fine level of regulation, coupling the transcription and processing of mRNAs encoding α and β chains of MHCII molecules, mediated through binding of their Untraslated Regions (UTRs...

Hydrological connectivity affects the material cycling and energy transfer of ecosystems is an important indicator for assessing function aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, clarification hydrologic its optimization methods essential basin water resources management other problems; however, most current research focused on intermittently flooded areas, especially in terms optimization, hydrological ...

The construction sector is one of the most energy-intensive and raw-material-demanding human activities and, hence, contributes a significant share greenhouse gas emissions. As matter principle, making “greener” main challenges for policy makers, private companies scientific community. For this reason, promising actions based on recycling Construction Demolition Waste (CDW) converting them into...

The objectives of this research were to examine the palatability of stabilized rice bran (SRB) when included in a dry canine diet, and to determine the effects of SRB on food intake, digestion, fecal characteristics, blood lipid characteristics, and selected immune mediators. Experiment 1 tested the palatability of SRB. Diets contained poultry fat in Test 1 and soybean oil in Test 2, in conjunc...
