This paper presents analyses of the potential use Sentinel-1 (S-1) and Sentinel-2 (S-2) imagery to generate models winter wheat growth under agricultural drought vs. normal conditions identified based on yield losses calculated in Agricultural Drought Monitoring System (ADMS). The carried out showed sensitivity satellite images determined ADMS. study was conducted a large region, West Pomerania...

The chemical industry requires highly accurate and reliable measurements to ensure smooth operation effective monitoring of processing facilities. However, measured data inevitably contains errors from various sources. Traditionally in flow systems, reconciliation through mass balancing is applied reduce error by estimating balanced flows. this approach can only handle random errors. For non-ra...

Published evidence on the effects of computerized physician order entry (CPOE), automated dispensing machines (ADMs), bar coding, and computerized medication administration records (CMARs) on medication errors and adverse drug events (ADEs) were reviewed. Emerging technologies have been recommended as potential mechanisms for reducing medication errors. Critical evaluations of the impact of the...

Air dispersion modeling system (ADMS)-urban was used as air dispersion tool to model the atmospheric pollutants composition over Lagos air shed. The model runs with single point source showing the variation of concentrations of air pollutants (NO2, NOx, O3, and SO2) with ambient air dispersion over the city of Lagos, Nigeria. This city is located in the coastal area, and is highly congested wit...

Background. While the benefits of using acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) in breast reconstruction are well described, their use has been associated with additional complications. The purpose of this study was to determine if ADM thickness affects complications in breast reconstruction. Methods. A retrospective chart review was performed including all tissue expander based breast reconstructions...

BACKGROUND Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) in plastic surgery have become increasingly popular particularly for breast reconstruction. Despite their advantages, questions exist regarding their association with a possible increased incidence of complications. We describe a collective experience of plastic surgeons' use of ADMs in reconstructive breast surgery using an internet-based survey. M...

In order to reduce the number of add-drop multiplexers (ADMs) in SONET/WDM networks using wavelength add-drop multiplexing, certain graph decompositions can be used to form a “grooming” that specifies the assignment of traffic to wavelengths. When traffic among nodes is all-to-all and uniform, the drop cost of such a decomposition is the sum, over all graphs in the decomposition, of the number ...

Traffic grooming is a major issue in optical networks. It refers to grouping low rate signals into higher speed streams, in order to reduce the equipment cost. In SONET WDM networks, this cost is mostly given by the number of electronic terminations, namely Add-Drop Multiplexers (ADMs for short). We consider the unidirectional ring topology with a generic grooming factor C, and in this case, in...
