This study is aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of a large-scale leaf area index (LAI) inversion using high resolution airborne imagery without calibrating using ground based measurements. The study area is located in the Gatineau Park, Southern Quebec, Canada. The developed methods are evaluated in relatively high forest cover where remote sensing retrieval of biophysical parameters is co...

Kinematics GPS and inertia movement instrumentation technology has developed rapidly, which achieved to provide a high and stable accuracy of spatial positioning, attitude in three dimensions for high-speed movement platform such as aircraft. The airborne laser measurement system which is based on the laser scanning technology, has been integrated to the GPS inertia movement instrument on the a...

Background: Invasive fungal infections acquired in the hospital have progressively emerged as an important cause of lifethreatening infection. In particular, airborne fungi in hospitals are considered critical pathogens of hospital-associated infections. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the airborne fungi of indoor environments of educational hospitals in the city of Ahvaz,
