A literature review of new publications in the field of 3D data for forest applications shows that the application of airborne laser scanner data (ALS) is in the focus of research today due to its great potential for practical applications. While there is a lot of research carried out to derive forest management parameters based on laser metrics deduced from a single tree assessment or a statis...

While earth is becoming a smaller village every day, the rapid population growth and ageing is impeding obvious shifting pattern of disease which in turn is inflecting great economic burden required for fast growing health expenditure particularly in the developing world whose suffering from this particular issue is turning into an inflated almost non-curable disease.
