Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has a profound impact on marine life, but historically and even currently, most ocean color satellites cannot provide radiance measurements in the UV, thus UV penetration, global ocean. We develop system (termed as UVISRdl) this study, based deep learning, to estimate remote sensing reflectance (Rrs) at 360, 380, 400 nm (collectively termed near-blue bands, nbUV) from...

1. The oscillation method for measuring total respiratory resistance (Rrs) is a simple method of assessing airway dimensions which can be applied in epidemiological surveys and potentially might be useful for detecting mild airway disease in smokers. However, it is not known whether abnormalities in Rrs are only present when there are also abnormalities in simple spirometric tests. 2. We have c...

In a diluted H2SO4 solution, Hg(II) reacts with halide anions X- (including Cl-, Br- and I-) to form anionic complexes [HgX4]2- that can further react with berberine to form ion-association complexes of [Ber]2[HgX4]. As a result, the absorption spectra change, their maximum absorption wavelengths are at 230 nm for [Ber]2[HgCl4], 278 nm for [Ber]2[HgBr4] and 300 nm for [Ber]2[HgI4]. However, amo...

A technique for nding the relative spatial pose between a robotic end eeector and a target object to be grasped without a priori knowledge of the spatial relationship between the camera and the robot is presented. A previously developed technique is used to determine the pose of the end eeector and a target object relative to the camera. The transformation between the camera's and the robot's c...

To present up-to-date meta-analyses of evidence from Japan Background: relating smoking to major smoking-related diseases. We restricted attention to lung cancer, chronic obstructive Methods: pulmonary disease (COPD), ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke, considering relative risks (RRs) for current and ex-smokers relative to never smokers. Evidence by amount smoked and time quit was also c...

We propose an innovative multi-pixel atmospheric correction approach (MPACA) to process high-spatial-resolution satellite measurements over coastal waters based on a revised POLYMER model. MPACA assumes the aerosol type be uniform within relatively small region, while load and water properties are allowed vary. Landsat-8 OLI images six locations with various turbidities were utilized evaluate p...

OBJECTIVE Rumination is a negative coping strategy defined as repetitive and passive focusing on negative feelings such as depression. The Ruminative Response Scale (RRS) is a widely-used instrument to measure rumination, but there is continuing argument about the construct validity of the RRS, because of probable overlap between the measurement of depression and that of rumination. The RRS-Rev...

As a fundamental optical approach to interferometry, Sagnac interference has been widely used for reflection manipulation, precision measurements, and spectral engineering in systems. Compared other interferometry configurations, it offers attractive advantages by yielding reduced system complexity without the need phase control between different pathways, thus offering high degree of stability...

Suspended particles in waters play an important role in determination of optical properties and ocean color remote sensing. To link suspended particles to their optical properties and thereby remote sensing reflectance (Rrs(λ)), cross-sectional area is a key factor. Till now, there is still a lack of methodologies for derivation of the particle cross-sectional area concentration (AC) from satel...
