In this paper, we show how an Earth watching mission, dedicated to the detection and the tracking of forest fires and volcanic eruptions, and involving a constellation of low-orbiting satellites, equipped with detection and observation instruments, can be reactively and efficiently managed via the cooperation of decision modules implemented on the ground in a mission control center and onboard ...

Transnasal endoscopic orbital decompression is a viable alternative for external orbital decompression. Today, it can be performed due to the great development of endoscopic technology and specific endoscopic surgical instruments. It requires strong anatomic knowledge and skilled hands. We present our experience with endoscopic orbital decompression focusing on the surgical technique used in ou...

sold by surgical instrument makers, which have constantly come prominently to my notice daring the performnace of operations on the eye, and which, after considerable experience of the same, have forced me to try and effect a remedy for them. It is with that object in view, that I have devised an instrument, which I venture to bring before the notice of the profession, as having, in my humble o...

Observations from microwave sounding instruments have been exploited widely for numerical weather prediction (NWP) and for climate studies assessing long-term trends in atmospheric temperatures. Observations from channels in the 50-58 GHz range have been particularly valuable in providing information on tropospheric and stratospheric temperatures and are currently one of the most beneficial obs...

Heart disease is one of the most prevalent and critical diseases that endangers lives human beings. In addition to clinical diagnosis, machine learning deep learning-based approaches are vital in diagnosis heart disease. This paper proposes a balanced optimized machine-learning algorithm for detection. technique combines oversampling techniques, attribute pruning, CART decision tree classifier,...

We propose a mathematical model for the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease based on transport diffusion equations. treat brain neurons as continuous medium structure them by their degree malfunctioning. Three different mechanisms are assumed to be relevant temporal evolution disease: i) agglomeration soluble Amyloid beta, ii) effects phosphorylated tau protein iii) neuron-to-neuron pr...

This booklet outlines key questions that can guide observational tool selection. It is intended to provide guiding questions that will help users organize their thinking about what they want from an observation tool and help them to find instruments well aligned with their strategic goals.
