A synergistic algorithm for producing global leaf area index and fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation fields from canopy reflectance data measured by MODIS (moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer) and MISR (multiangle imaging spectroradiometer) instruments aboard the EOS-AM 1 platform is described here. The proposed algorithm is based on a three-dimensional formulatio...

Under the MODARIA (Modelling and Data for Radiological Impact Assessments Programme of the International Atomic Energy Agency), there has been an initiative to improve the derivation, provenance and transparency of transfer parameter values for radionuclides. The approach taken for animal products is outlined here and the first revised table for goat milk is provided. Data from some references ...

This paper describes a software-based method for interactive transfer function modification. Our approach exploits the fact that, in general, a user will rarely want to modify the viewpoint and the transfer functions at the same time. In that spirit, we optimize the latter by first fixing the viewpoint and then storing a compressed list of samples along each ray. Then, each time the transfer fu...

Despite in the recent decade, free tissue transfer has been gold standard for breast reconstruction and evolving of DIEP, TUG flaps toe most common used approach at present time, however complexity procedure, long operative donor site comorbidities, learning curve subsequently increased cost were always as downside this (Table 1).

infarction (AMI) patients eligible for enrollment in the study. Dr. Silverman questioned the safety of transfer of the AMI patient. Although his concerns are valid, all emergency medical systems that would be transferring AMI patients are trained in advanced cardiac life support. These systems should be able to resuscitate AMI patients, as well as the staff in the emergency department or intens...

Effect of nonlinear thermal radiation on the unsteady magnetohydrodynamic slip flow of Casson fluid between parallel disks in the presence of thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects are investigated numerically. A similarity transformation is employed to reduce the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. Further, Runge-Kutta and Newton’s methods are ado...

\_' (lescribe PVS's capabilities for representing tabular specifications of the kind advocated t)y Parnas and others, and show how PVS's Type Correctness Conditions (TCCs) are used to ensure certain well-formedness properties. We then show how these and other capabilities of PVS can be used to represent the AND/OR tables of Leveson and the Decision Tables of Sherry, and we demonstrate how PVS_s...
