When a large-scale flood disaster occurs, it is important to identify the areas in short time order effectively support affected afterwards. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) promising for detection. A number of change detection methods have been proposed detect flooded with pre- and post-event SAR data. However, remains difficult built-up due complicated scattering microwaves. To solve this issue...

With global warming, permafrost is undergoing degradation, which may cause thawing subsidence, collapse, and emission of greenhouse gases preserved in previously frozen permafrost, change the local hydrology ecology system, threaten infrastructure indigenous communities. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) world’s largest region middle low latitudes. Permafrost status monitoring QTP great significa...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The incidence of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), a constellation of neurologic, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal disturbances associated with opioid withdrawal, has increased dramatically and is associated with long hospital stays. At our institution, the average length of stay (ALOS) for infants exposed to methadone in utero was 22.4 days before the start of ...

No technique has so far been developed to quantify biomass carbon sources and sinks over large areas. Among the remote sensing techniques tested, the use of multisensors, and spatial as well as spectral characteristics of data have demonstrated strong potential for biomass estimation. However, the use of multisensor data accompanied by spatial data processing has not been fully investigated bec...
