The spatial distribution of population is closely related to land use and land cover (LULC) patterns on both regional and global scales. Population can be redistributed onto geo-referenced square grids according to this relation. In the past decades, various approaches to monitoring LULC using remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been developed, which makes it possible f...

In this study, we comparison of NDVI of ground measurement, atmospheric corrected ASTER LIB data and ASTER surface reflectance product (AST07) data to evaluate the accuracy of the ATCOR software atmospheric correction of Terra/ASTER data (Jun 30, 2002), using ground radiometric measurement data (ASD's FieldSpec® Pro). Our research selected the study area Sarobetsu Marsh located in coastal area ...

The radiometric gains of the AATSR visible to shortwave-infrared channels are calibrated using an on-board solar diffuser. The on-board calibration is supported by vicarious techniques such as comparisons over stable desert targets to establish relative biases in the radiometric calibrations of AATSR and other optical sensors and also to determine the long-term drifts. The authors present the r...

The first five years of operation the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) at Lagrange one point have produced results that uniquely complement data from currently operating low orbit Earth-observing instruments. In this paper we describe an updated unified approach to EPIC calibration. approach, calibration coefficients and their trends were obtaine...

This paper focuses on sea surface wind speed estimation using L1B level v3.1 data of reflected GNSS signals from the Cyclone (CYGNSS) mission and European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecast Reanalysis (ECMWF) data. Seven machine learning methods are applied retrieval, i.e., Regression trees (Binary Tree (BT), Ensembles Trees (ET), XGBoost (XGB), LightGBM (LGBM)), ANN (Artificial neural ne...

BACKGROUND The red yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a natural producer of the carotenoid astaxanthin. Because of its high flux, the native terpene pathway leading to the production of the tetraterpene is of particular interest as it can be redirected toward the production of other terpene compounds. The genetic tools for the transformation of the yeast with the concurrent knock-out of gen...

Introduction Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a non-conventional industrial yeast. It has the unique ability among yeasts to produce geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate derived terpenoids such as carotenoids and in particular the high value pigment astaxanthin. Objective In order to fully exploit the industrial potential of Xanthophyllomyces using modern industrial biotechnology approaches the furth...
