Fallen trees decompose on the forest floor and create habitats for many species. Thus, mapping fallen allows identifying most valuable areas regarding biodiversity, especially in boreal forests, enabling well-focused conservation restoration actions. Airborne laser scanning (ALS) is capable of characterizing forests underlying topography. However, its potential detecting under varying condition...

AIM To define neonatal pial middle cerebral artery infarction. METHODS A retrospective study was made of neonates in whom focal arterial infarction had been detected ultrasonographically. A detailed study was made of cortical middle cerebral artery infarction subtypes. RESULTS Forty infarctions, with the exception of those in a posterior cerebral artery, were detected ultrasonographically o...

Computerized tomography as a non-destructive scanning method to analyze wood structures has become an important technique in tree research. The possibility to reconstruct three-dimensional volumes based on a number of slices of two-dimensional data from CT scans is strongly dependent on the number of measured slices. Radial basis function methods can be successfully used to interpolate CT image...

Survivor advocates are powerful workers for injury prevention. Some of the major prevention successes have been due in large part to their efforts. This case history examines the four year campaign to prevent entrapment in car trunks (or boot) through the routine installation of interior trunk releases. It traces how a life altering event began a cluster of activities leading to product redesig...

Tree fern trunks provide establishment surfaces and habitat for a range of plant taxa including many understorey shrubs canopy trees. The importance these habitats augmenting forest biodiversity woody regeneration processes has been the subject conjecture but not robustly assessed.

Materials and Methods: We created a model of an expanding hematoma with simultaneous pressure tion of any support. Then, three types of scrotal supports were tested, including Euron Net Knickers, scrotal suspensory bandage, and tight swimming trunks brand Speedo® brief and shorts. Subsequent pressures were recorded using the model created, which was applied inside the supports worn by two male ...

While the availability of large and diverse datasets has contributed to significant breakthroughs in autonomous driving indoor applications, forestry applications are still lagging behind new forest would most certainly contribute achieving progress development data-driven methods for forest-like scenarios. This paper introduces a dataset called \textit{FinnWoodlands}, which consists RGB stereo...
