Background During cultivation cells undergo a tremendous change in their metabolism when shifting from one state to another or when parameters are changed. To understand the changes in intracellular metabolite concentrations and their impact on cell performance we used a systematic approach. By employing the chemostat mode at different steady state conditions we investigated the alterations of ...

Assessment of the spatio-temporal dynamics shifting cultivation is important to understand opportunities for land restoration. The past studies on mapping North-East (NE) India lack systematic assessment techniques. We have developed a decision tree-based multi-step threshold (DTMT) method consistent and long-term using Landsat data from 1975 2018. Widely used vegetation indices such as normali...
