There have been several examples in which both Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) systems collected data in support of military operations (SMO). FOPEN (Foliage Penetration) radar has been used to penetrate tree canopies in order to detect objects. On the other hand, spectral differences between targets and backgrounds are used in HSI systems. Both SAR and HSI system...

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of starvation and feeding regimes on growth performance, haematological and biochemical parameters of blood and body composition of Caspian brown trout parr. For this purpose, 900 fish (average weight: 12.5±1 g) were stocked in 300-l tanks (18 tanks at a stocking rate of 50 fish in each tank) using an open system. Six experimental groups com...

The Department of Defense recently mandated the incorporation of Human Systems Integration (HSI) early in the acquisition cycle to improve system performance and reduce ownership cost. However, little documentation of successful examples of HSI within the context of systems engineering exists, making it difficult for the acquisition community to disseminate and apply best practices. This articl...

PURPOSE Are eccentric hamstring strength and between-limb imbalance in eccentric strength, measured during the Nordic hamstring exercise, risk factors for hamstring strain injury (HSI)? METHODS Elite Australian footballers (n = 210) from five different teams participated. Eccentric hamstring strength during the Nordic exercise was obtained at the commencement and conclusion of preseason train...

The rapid urban development associated with China’s reform and opening up has been the source of many problems. To understand these issues, it is necessary to have a deep understanding distribution spatial structure. Taking six districts Dalian as an example, in this study, we integrated enhanced vegetation index, points interest, surface temperature data into night light data. Furthermore, her...

The paper presents a comparative political economy theoretical framework of high-skilled immigration (HSI thereafter) policies in advanced industrial countries and seeks to explain differences in countries’ policies in terms of HSI openness. I take from the traditional partisanship approach that political parties will pursue policies consistent with the preferences of their major constituencies...

Heterosubtypic immunity (HSI), defined as protective cross-reactivity to lethal infection with influenza A virus of a serotype different from the virus initially encountered, is thought to be mediated by cross-reactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). This study provides direct evidence for the role of effector CTL versus B cells in HSI in mice with a targeted disruption in the alpha chain of CD8...

BACKGROUND The disease burden due to heat-stress illness (HSI), which can result in significant morbidity and mortality, is expected to increase as the climate continues to warm. In the United States (U.S.) much of what is known about HSI epidemiology is from analyses of urban heat waves. There is limited research addressing whether HSI hospitalization risk varies between urban and rural areas,...

knowledge of habitat requirements of aquatic animals plays an important role in fisheries and protection programs of aquatic ecosystems. hence, this study was conducted to investigate the suitability indexes of habitat use and habitat suitability index (hsi) of barbus cyri in its distribution range in tootkabon river. a number of environmental variables, including elevation, water depth, river ...
