Lamina dry mass (LDM) per unit area is an important plant functional trait. However, it time-consuming to leaves in practice. Previous studies have demonstrated that lamina fresh (LFM) approximately proportional LDM for some broad-leaved plants. those largely overlooked the influence of leaf age on relationship, and were sampled without distinguishing age. In present study, we used eight leaf-a...

Sparse frequency agile linear modulation-orthogonal division multiplexing (LFM-OFDM) radar can improve anti-interference ability as well reduce the sampling rate of system. However, agility makes it difficult to realize coherent processing by using fast Fourier transform. To overcome this problem, a signal scheme for sparse LFM-OFDM is proposed obtain high range and Doppler resolution in study....

In seasonally dry environments, the amount of water held in living plant tissue—live fuel moisture (LFM)—is central to vegetation flammability. LFM-driven changes wildfire size and frequency are particularly important throughout southern California shrublands, which typically produce intense, rapidly spreading wildfires. However, relationship between spatiotemporal variation LFM resulting long-...

This communication proposes a gain design method of an α-β filter with linear frequencymodulated (LFM) waveforms to achieve optimal range prediction (tracking) of maneuvering targets in steady-state. First, a steady-state root-mean-square (RMS) prediction error, called an RMS-index, is analytically derived for a constant-acceleration target. Next, a design method of the optimal gains that minim...

Lateral Force Microscopy (LFM) studies were carried out on cleaved calcite sections in contact with solutions supersaturated with respect to otavite (CdCO3) or calcite-otavite solid solutions (SS) as a means to examine the potential for future application of LFM as a nanometer-scale mineral surface composition mapping technique. Layer-by-layer growth of surface films took place either by step a...

Foods high in fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) exacerbate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); however, their mechanism of action is unknown. We hypothesized that a high-FODMAP (HFM) diet increases visceral nociception by inducing dysbiosis and that the FODMAP-altered gut microbial community leads to intestinal pathology. We fed rats an ...
