Collecting information on suspended sediments concentration (SSC) in coastal waters and estuaries is vital for proper management of coastal environments. Traditionally, SSC used to be measured by time consuming and costly point measurements. This method allows the accurate measurement of SSC only for a point in space and time. Remote sensing from air-borne and space-borne sensors have proved to...

aim : we described two case reports of aih/ssc overlap syndrome and reviewed literatures regarding this issue.   background : aih is a chronic hepatitis of unknown aetiology characterized by continuing hepatocellular necrosis and inflammation. aih overlap syndromes have been reported with other autoimmune diseases. patients and methods : according to the classification criteria for ssc, we cond...

BACKGROUND Predictions of intense heat waves across the United States will lead to localized health impacts, most of which are preventable. There is a need to better understand the spatial variation in the morbidity impacts associated with extreme heat across the country to prevent such adverse health outcomes. METHODS Hyperthermia-related emergency department (ED) visits were obtained from t...

To better define seizure characteristics and to examine whether semiological seizure classification (SSC) can be appropriately applied to the seizures of infants and children, we studied 152 videotaped seizures recorded in 133 children. Seizure semiology was described on the basis of a series of behavioural, sensory, and motor phenomena according to SSC. Special emphasis was placed on whether o...

AIMS To analyse the forward scatter/side scatter (FSC/SSC) distribution of acute myeloblastic leukaemia (AML) blast cells in order to assess whether it correlates with their morphology, immunophenotype, and clinical and biological disease characteristics. METHODS FSC/SSC patterns were established upon taking into account the localisation of the residual T lymphocytes in the FSC/SSC dot plot a...

S ystemic sclerosis (SSc) is a multisystemic disorder of unknown cause characterised by fibrotic and degenerative changes in skin, blood vessels and internal organs. The clinical spectrum of SSc, and hence its prognosis, is quite variable. Validated subset classification, activity and severity criteria are available. However, despite their usefulness, these criteria have several limitations. Fu...

The work examines the seasonality and large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns associated with debris-flow occurrence in the Trentino–Alto Adige region (eastern Italian Alps). Analysis is based on classification algorithms applied to a uniquely dense archive of debris flows and hourly rain gauge precipitation series covering the period 2000–2009. Results highlight the seasonal and synoptic ...

Sparse Subspace Clustering (SSC) has been used extensively for subspace iden-tification tasks due to its theoretical guarantees and relative ease of implemen-tation. However SSC has quadratic computation and memory requirementswith respect to the number of input data points. This burden has prohibitedSSCs use for all but the smallest datasets. To overcome this we propose a n...
