There are an increasing number of digital elevation models (DEMs) available worldwide for deriving elevation differences over time, including vertical changes on glaciers. Most of these DEMs are heavily post-processed or merged, so that physical error modelling becomes difficult and statistical error modelling is required instead. We propose a three-step methodological framework for assessing a...

Estimations of the local roughness of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) have been used both for a better geological understanding of terrain structures and for a more accurate DEM interpolation leading to higher resolution terrain maps. This work investigates two fractal dimension estimators for the characterization of the roughness of DEMs: the power spectrum estimator and the wavelet-based esti...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding endogenous RNA molecules that play important roles in the innate immunity system of invertebrates, especially in the aspect of antivirus. In the present study, high-throughput small RNA Illumina sequencing systems were used to identify differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) from the intestines of Procambarus clarkii that were infected with white spot synd...

This work presents a methodology for the refinement of 90m digital elevation model (DEM) of Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data. The SRTM DEM is publicly available through the Seamless Data Distribution System (SDDS) at two resolutions: 30m for the United States, and 90m for the areas between 60N and 56S of latitude including the US. The selected test areas stretch eastwest from gentl...

Esophageal carcinoma (ESCA) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, and its pathogenesis is complex. In this study, we identified differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) and genes (DEGs) of ESCA from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The diagnostic values of DEMs were determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses and validated based on data from Gene Expression ...
