In this study, a comparative analysis of capabilities of three sensors for mapping forest crown closure (CC) and leaf area index (LAI) was conducted. The three sensors are Hyperspectral Imager (Hyperion) and Advanced Land Imager (ALI) onboard EO-1 satellite and Landsat-7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+). A total of 38 mixed coniferous forest CC and 38 LAI measurements were collected at Blod...

The Collaborative Cross (CC) was designed to facilitate rapid gene mapping and consists of hundreds of recombinant inbred lines descended from eight diverse inbred founder strains. A decade in production, it can now be applied to mapping projects. Here, we provide a proof of principle for rapid identification of major-effect genes using the CC. To do so, we chose coat color traits since the loc...

The quality of Li-ion batteries is highly related to the crystallinity graphite used in their electrodes. Therefore, development two-dimensional detection equipment for evaluating integrity electrodes critical. In this study, a triaxial scanning platform was developed Raman spectroscopy. Two-dimensional mapping defects (D band) and stacking (2D performed determine atomic-level variations caused...

Based on a completely distributive lattice $M$, base axioms and subbase axioms are introduced in $M$-fuzzifying convex spaces. It is shown that a mapping $mathscr{B}$ (resp. $varphi$) with the base axioms (resp. subbase axioms) can induce a unique $M$-fuzzifying convex structure with  $mathscr{B}$ (resp. $varphi$) as its base (resp. subbase). As applications, it is proved that bases and subbase...

Semi-automated object extraction has been established as a standard procedure for the efficient generation of 3D city models. Apart from aerial imagery, satellite imagery and laserscanner data turned out to be an additional source to create virtual city models. CyberCity-Modeler (CC-ModelerTM) as a tool for the generation and optimisation of 3D city and plant models has been used in a range of ...

We present a general hidden Markov model framework called R: econstructing A: ncestry B: locks BIT: by bit (RABBIT) for reconstructing genome ancestry blocks from single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array data, a required step for quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping. The framework can be applied to a wide range of mapping populations such as the Arabidopsis multiparent advanced generation i...

Page-coloring and bin-hopping are two well-known page mapping schemes for reducing cache connicts. Previous work found bin-hopping to have 4% less cache miss rate than page-coloring on uniprocessor machines. Using execution-driven simulations, we nd that bin-hopping signiicantly outperforms simplistic page-coloring on CC-NUMA multipro-cessors. In certain cases, bin-hopping has 32% to 58% less e...

"Let $C$ and $S^*$ stand for the classes of convex starlike mapping in $\D$, let $\cc$, $\cs$ denote closures respective hulls. We derive characterizations when convolution mappings $\cc$ is convex, as well starlike. Several terms are given convexity within starlikeness $\cs$. also obtain a correspondence via between $S^*$, correspondences subclasses that have $n$-fold symmetry."

The Collaborative Cross (CC) is a genetic reference panel of recombinant inbred lines of mice, designed for the dissection of complex traits and gene networks. Each line is independently descended from eight genetically diverse founder strains such that the genomes of the CC lines, once fully inbred, are fine-grained homozygous mosaics of the founder haplotypes. We present an analysis of 120 CC...
