Monitoring rare plant species is used to confirm presence, assess health, and verify population trends. Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are ideal tools for monitoring plants because they can efficiently collect data without impacting the or endangering personnel. However, UAS flight planning be subjective, resulting in ineffective use of time overcollection imagery. This study a Maxent machine-le...

Future long-term rainfall forecasts are valuable for operating water supply facilities and managing unusual droughts. This study proposes a novel approach to forecast basin-scale monthly from lagged global climate indices, antecedent historical data of targeted basin, forecasted nearby basin using data-driven model. The is applied the Han River Geum South Korea, May June, prone drought occurren...

Although remote sensing techniques have been used to monitor toxic cyanobacteria with hyperspectral data in inland water, it is difficult optimize conventional bio-optical algorithms for individual water bodies because of the complex optical properties various components. Therefore, this study adopted a spatial attention convolutional neural network (spatial CNN) estimate chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) ...

A nuclear low-copy gene phylogeny provides strong evidence for the hybrid origin of seven polyploid species in Geinae (Rosaceae). In a gene tree, alleles at homologous loci in an allopolyploid species are expected to be sisters to orthologues in the ancestral taxa rather than to each other. Alleles at a duplicated locus in an autopolyploid, however, are expected to be more closely related to ea...

Aven expression has recently been identified as an anti-apoptotic protein. In this study, Aven expression in 91 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was investigated for possible correlation with clinical features at diagnosis and treatment outcome. Aven expression was found to be higher in patients >or=10 years old or <1 year (P=0.003), and in patients with unfavorable cytogenetic ...
