Currently many types of microscopy are limited, in terms of spatial and temporal resolution, by hardware (e.g., camera framerate, data transfer rate, data storage capacity). The obvious approach to solve the resolution problem is to develop better hardware. An alternative solution, which additionally benefits from improved hardware, is to apply compressive sensing (CS) [1]. CS approaches have b...

As a newly proposed theory, compressive sensing (CS) is commonly used in signal processing area. This paper investigates the applications of compressed sensing (CS) in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). First, the development and research status of compressed sensing technology and wireless sensor networks are described, then a detailed investigation of WSNs research based on CS are conducted fro...

     This study introduces a wearable in-shoe system for real-time monitoring and measurement of the plantar pressure distribution of the foot using eleven sensing elements. The sensing elements utilized in ShrewdShoe have been designed in an innovative way, they are based on a barometric pressure sensor covered with a silicon coating. The presented sensing element has great linearity up to 300...

ecological studies based on field data have shown that vegetation phenology follows a relatively well-defined temporal pattern. this pattern, that is reflecting the cumulative temperature from the date of the beginning of the growth, can be represented by the use of a suitable model. due to the spatial, temporal, and ecological complexity of these processes a simple method to monitor phenologic...

Soil salinity phenomena are one of the main problems of arid and semi-arid lands. Saline soils constitute a huge part of Iran, and also threaten its neighboring lands. Therefore, in order to optimum exploitation of such soils, qualitative monitoring is necessary. Recently, remote sensing techniques have been increasingly applied in monitoring soil characteristics. The present study was carried ...

background: luxi is a component of the quorum sensing signaling pathway in vibrio fischeri responsible for the inducer synthesis that is essential for bioluminescence. methods: homology modeling of luxi was carried out using phyre2 and refined with the galaxyweb server. five models were generated and evaluated by errat, anolea, qmean6, and procheck. results: five refined models were generated b...

to determine the suitable indices for vegetation cover and production assessment based on the remote sensing data, simultaneous digital data with field data belonging to the spring rangeland of the semirom-isfahan province were analyzed. during two years of monitoring the annual, grass, forb, and shrub vegetation cover and the total production data from 86 were collected. the global positioning...

emissivity mapping of the earth’s surface is the prerequisite to thermal remote sensing. a precise determinationof a surface's temperature is dependent upon the availability of precise emissivity data for that surface. the presentstudy area is a part of sugarcane plantation fields in the west part of khuzestan province. in this work, temperatureemissivity separation algorithm (tes) was applied ...
