Remote sensing techniques have been shown effective for large-scale damagesurveys after a hazardous event in both near real-time or post-event analyses. The paperaims to compare accuracy of common imaging processing techniques to detect tornadodamage tracks from Landsat TM data. We employed the direct change detection approachusing two sets of images acquired before and after the tornado event ...

Completely cloud-free remotely sensed images are not always available, especially in tropical, neo-tropical, or humid climates, posing complications and perhaps serious constraints to image analysis. In this paper, a knowledge-based approach to reduce cloud and shadow using two dates of Landsat TM imagery is presented. Procedurally, first, the brightness and contrast of a secondary image was ad...

The analysis of climate regions is very important for designers and architects, because the increase in density and built up spaces and reduction in open spaces and green lands induce the increase of heat, especially in an urban area, deteriorating the environment and causing health problems. This study analyzes the Land Surface Temperature (LST) differences in the region of Dobrogea, Romania, ...

This paper describes the new linguistic approaches of the MetaMorphoTM system, a linguistically enriched translation memory. Our aim was to develop an improved TM system that uses linguistic analysis in both source and destination languages to yield more exact matches to the source sentence. The MetaMorphoTM stores and retrieve subsentential segments and uses a linguistically based measure to d...

PURPOSE To evaluate the normal aging effects on trabecular meshwork (TM) parameters using Fourier domain anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) images. PATIENTS AND METHODS One eye from 45 participants with open angles was imaged. Two independent readers measured TM area, TM length, and area and length of the TM interface shadow from 3 age groups (18-40, 41-60, and 61-80). Meas...

Transition-metal (TM) boride and carboride nanostructures are studied as model organometallic materials for hydrogen storage. The dispersed TM atoms function as H2 sorption centers on the surface of the boron or carbon-boron substrate. The flexibility offered in the variety of possible structures permits the study of the effect of the TM-TM distance on the storage capacity. When the TMs are too...

Objective To determine the clinical, demographic and imaging characteristics of a Turkish cohort with aquaporin-4-antibody positive (AQP4-IgG+) neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) from single center. Background NA. Design/Methods 35 patients seen between January-2008 December-2020 diagnosis AQP4-IgG+NMOSD who could be studied in detail were included study. Inclusion criteria for NMOS...
