■ We present two examples that show how fusing data from hyperspectral imaging (HSI) sensors with data from other sensors can enhance overall detection and classification performance. The first example involves fusing HSI data with foliage-penetration synthetic aperture radar (FOPEN SAR) data; the second example involves fusing HSI data with high-resolution imaging (HRI) data. The fusion of HSI...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE High signal intensity (HSI) at the pituitary stalk is reported in pituitary adenomas. Our purpose was to clarify how and when this HSI formed, its long-term fate, and its relation to the function of infundibuloneurohypophyseal (INH) system. METHODS Twenty-two patients with pituitary adenoma and supradiaphragmatic extension underwent 1.5-T MR imaging. Patients were assig...

Habitat suitability index (HSI) models provide spatially explicit information on the capacity of a given habitat to support a species of interest, and their prevalence has increased dramatically in recent years. Despite caution that the reliability of HSIs must be validated using independent, quantitative data, most HSIs intended to inform terrestrial and marine species management remain unvali...

The first is hyperspectral imaging (HSI) with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and the other is HSI with high-resolution panchromatic imaging (HPI). HSI and SAR fusion exploits different phenomenologies from distinctly different sensors. HSI and HPI fu...

There have been several examples in which both Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) systems collected data in support of military operations (SMO). FOPEN (Foliage Penetration) radar has been used to penetrate tree canopies in order to detect objects. On the other hand, spectral differences between targets and backgrounds are used in HSI systems. Both SAR and HSI system...

The Department of Defense recently mandated the incorporation of Human Systems Integration (HSI) early in the acquisition cycle to improve system performance and reduce ownership cost. However, little documentation of successful examples of HSI within the context of systems engineering exists, making it difficult for the acquisition community to disseminate and apply best practices. This articl...

PURPOSE Are eccentric hamstring strength and between-limb imbalance in eccentric strength, measured during the Nordic hamstring exercise, risk factors for hamstring strain injury (HSI)? METHODS Elite Australian footballers (n = 210) from five different teams participated. Eccentric hamstring strength during the Nordic exercise was obtained at the commencement and conclusion of preseason train...

The paper presents a comparative political economy theoretical framework of high-skilled immigration (HSI thereafter) policies in advanced industrial countries and seeks to explain differences in countries’ policies in terms of HSI openness. I take from the traditional partisanship approach that political parties will pursue policies consistent with the preferences of their major constituencies...

Heterosubtypic immunity (HSI), defined as protective cross-reactivity to lethal infection with influenza A virus of a serotype different from the virus initially encountered, is thought to be mediated by cross-reactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). This study provides direct evidence for the role of effector CTL versus B cells in HSI in mice with a targeted disruption in the alpha chain of CD8...
