In this paper we address the following question: do the recent advances in the orbit determination of the major natural satellites of Saturn obtained with the analysis of the first data sets from the Cassini mission allow to detect the general relativistic gravitoelectric orbital precessions of such moons? The answer is still negative. The present-day down-track accuracy would be adequate for M...

Leaf area index (LAI) is an important surface biophysical parameter as an input to many process-oriented ecosystem models. Remote sensing technology provides a practical way to estimate LAI at a large spatial scale, and hence, considerable effort has been expended in developing LAI estimation models from remotely sensed imagery. LAI estimation models were usually formulated using multi-spectral...

Imaging spectroscopy is a widely used tool in mineral exploration today where exploration companies offer the full service package to their clients: (data acquisition, preprocessing and product delivery). These exploration projects rely mainly on airborne imaging spectrometers such as Hymap, AISA or HySpex. This data is usually scarce and expensive and may not be available to academic research....

Oil-gas reservoir exploration using hyperspectral remote sensing, which based on the theory of hydrocarbon microseepage information and fine spectral response of target, is a new direction for the application of remote sensing technology. In this paper, Qaidam Basin and Liaodong Bay in China were selected as the study areas. Based on the hydrocarbon microseepage theory, the analysis of crude oi...

[1] Ephemeral disturbances, such as non-lethal insect defoliations and crown damage from meteorological events, can significantly affect the delivery of ecosystem services by helping maintain nitrogen (N) limitation in temperate forest ecosystems. However, the impacts of these disturbances are difficult to observe across the broad-scales at which they affect ecosystem function. Using remotely s...

Network monitoring systems that support data archival and after-the-fact (retrospective) queries are useful for a multitude of purposes, such as anomaly detection and network and security forensics. Data archival for such systems, however, is complicated by (a) data arrival rate, which may be hundreds of thousands of packets per second per link, and (b) the need for online indexing of this data...

On behalf of the authors identified below, the corresponding author has formally requested to retract the above-cited article. An accompanying article (1) has also been retracted. The article reports on the DIA-AID 1 trial, which examined the safety and efficacy of DiaPep277 to treat type 1 diabetes. The DIA-AID 1 trial, as noted in the Duality of Interest section, was funded by Andromeda Biote...

Abstract The discovery and spectroscopic confirmation of Hyperion, a protosupercluster at z ∼ 2.47, provides an unprecedented opportunity to study distant galaxies in the context their large-scale environment. We carry out deep narrowband imaging ≈1° × 1° region around Hyperion select 157 Ly α emitters (LAEs). inferred LAE overdensity is δ g ≈ 40 within effective volume 30 20 15 cMpc 3 , consis...
