The MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is one of the key instruments for the NASA s Earth Observing System (EOS). MODIS ProtoFlight Model (PFM) was launched on-board the EOS Terra spacecraft on December 18, 1999 and the MODIS Flight Model (FM-1) was launched on-board the EOS Aqua spacecraft on May 4, 2002. MODIS has 36 spectral bands with wavelengths ranging from 0.41 to 14.5...

The performance and reproducibility of the BoMED NCCOM3 thoracic electrical bioimpedance cardiograph (TEB) has been evaluated in volunteers and patients. In resting supine volunteers, we determined the coefficient of variability over short time periods (30 min) and over several days, and examined the effects of differences in electrode type and electrode placement. The mean (range) intra-subjec...

abstract         background and objective: the current challenge of diabetes mellitus is to prevent its complications. these complications are directly associated with hyperglycemia in diabetics. the hba1c measurement is essential for long-term glycemic control. synchronization of hba1c measurement is important in order to avoid discrepancies between results reported by laboratories. this study...

An investigation has been carried out to examine the crosstalk contamination in the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) spacecraft. Prior to this study, the cause of the pronounced striping in Earth View (EV) images and obvious discontinuity in the EV brightness temperature (BT) of the thermal emissive bands (TEB) during...

Abstract Gravitational‐wave high‐energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All‐sky Monitor (GECAM) is a space‐borne instrument dedicated to monitoring transients, including Terrestrial Gamma‐ray Flashes (TGFs) and Electron Beams (TEBs). We implemented TGF/TEB search algorithm for GECAM, with which 147 bright TGFs, 2 typical TEBs special TEB‐like events are identified during an effective observation ti...

The use of air-conditioning systems is expected to increase as a consequence of global-scale and urban-scale climate warming. In order to represent future scenarios of urban climate and building energy consumption, the Town Energy Balance (TEB) scheme must be improved. This paper presents a new building energy model (BEM) that has been integrated in the TEB scheme. BEM-TEB makes it possible to ...

Poly-L-lysine (PLL) is commonly used as an adhibiting agent due to its good viscosity, and demineralized bone matrix (DBM) is a common enriched matrix for selective cell retention technology. Therefore, the aim of this study was to use PLL to coat the surface and interspaces of DBM to form a novel type of enriched matrix [DBM coated with PLL (PLL-DBM)], in order to effectively improve the enric...

Previous research suggested that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) feeding during the period of pubescent mammary gland development in the rat resulted in diminished mammary epithelial branching which might account for the reduction in mammary cancer risk. Terminal end buds (TEB) are the primary sites for the chemical induction of mammary carcinomas in rodents. One of the objectives of the present...

Abstract Study question Are automated blastocyst morphometric measurements combined with morphokinetic pattern associated implantation rate? Summary answer Automated demonstrated that a larger size and shorter time interval tB-tSB are higher potential. What is known already Optimization of embryo selection important for increasing Transfer high-quality based on conventional morphological parame...
