The Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)’s Earth Observing System (EOS) Terra satellite are crucial for generation of other products such as the Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FPAR) and Leaf Area Index (LAI). The analysis reported here compares the...

Spectral imaging including machine vision and multispectral imaging can provide a rapid, nondestructive means to assess agricultural commodities for their quality and safety for human consumption. These nondestructive techniques generally rely on reflectance measurements; the most commonly used spectral regions range through the visible (Vis) to the near infrared (NIR). Another optical sensing ...

In the present research, properties of ultraviolet (UV) visible (daylight invisible) fluorescent coatings modified by addition SiO2 and TiO2 nanoparticles were studied. Structural, surface, mechanical changes in caused accelerated ageing analyzed. The results showed that unaged aged printed coatings. Reflectance measurements improved visual effect Furthermore, have shown did not diminish reflec...

The paper got the data of spectral reflectance of ground features from field surveying by using field spectroradiometer. The spatial distribution information of the ground features was obtained from the land-use map. Based on above mentioned, the generating algorithm of spectral reflectance image of ground features was developed by Modeler module of ERDAS Imaging software. The four bands were s...

BACKGROUND The assessment of anticancer agents to treat leukemia needs to have animal models closer to the human pathology such as implantation in immunodeficient mice of leukemic cells from patient samples. A sensitive and early detection of tumor cells in these orthotopic models is a prerequisite for monitoring engraftment of leukemic cells and their dissemination in mice. Therefore, we devel...

BACKGROUND Arterial calcification is associated with cardiovascular events; however, mechanisms of calcification in atherosclerosis remain obscure. METHODS AND RESULTS We tested the hypothesis that inflammation promotes osteogenesis in atherosclerotic plaques using in vivo molecular imaging in apolipoprotein E-/- mice (20 to 30 weeks old, n=35). A bisphosphonate-derivatized near-infrared fluo...
