Hyperspectral imaging spectrometers mounted on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can capture high spatial and spectral resolution to provide cotton crop nitrogen status for precision agriculture. The aim of this research was explore machine learning use with hyperspectral datacubes over agricultural fields. imagery collected a mature crop, which had (~5.2 cm) (5 nm) the range 475–925 nm that allowe...

The long wavelength edge of the major chlorophyll absorption feature in the spectrum of a vegetation canopy moves to longer wavelengths with an increase in chlorophyll content. The position of this red-edge has been used successfully to estimate, by remote sensing, the chlorophyll content of vegetation canopies. Techniques used to estimate this red-edge position (REP) have been designed for use...

Chlorophyll is a key indicator of the physiological status of a forest canopy. However, its distribution may vary greatly in time and space, so that the estimation of chlorophyll content of canopies or branches by extrapolation from leaf values obtained by destructive sampling is labor intensive and potentially inaccurate. Chlorophyll content is related positively to the point of maximum slope ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the advantage of upright position imaging with a medium-energy collimator for the detection of sentinel lymph node (SLN). METHODS Thirty-four patients with operable breast cancer underwent sentinel node lymphoscintigraphy with 99mTc-tin colloid. Images were obtained in 5 different positions and paired images from the same patient were compared using side-by-side interpre...

This survey is devoted to problems and results concerning covering the vertices of edge colored graphs or hypergraphs with monochromatic paths, cycles and other objects. It is an expanded version of the talk with the same title at the Seventh Cracow Conference on Graph Theory, held in Rytro in September 14-19, 2014. 1 Covers by paths and cycles In this survey r-coloring always means edge-colori...

The importance of lakes and reservoirs leads to the high need for monitoring lake water quality both at local and global scales. The aim of the study was to test suitability of Sentinel-2 Multispectral Imager’s (MSI) data for mapping different lake water quality parameters. In situ data of chlorophyll a (Chl a), water color, colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and dissolved organic carbon (...

background : sentinel lymph node biopsy is a technique used to identify the axillary node most likely to contain tumor cells that have metastasized from a primary carcinoma of the breast. this technique provides accurate staging with fewer complications than axillary dissection and may result in decreased costs. we designed the present study to determine the accuracy and success rate of a combi...

Lehel conjectured that for all n, any 2-edge-coloring of Kn admits a partition of the vertex set into a red cycle and a blue cycle. This conjecture led to a significant amount of work on related questions and was eventually proven for all n by Bessy and Thomassé. Balogh, Barát, Gerbner, Gyárfás, and Sárközy conjectured a stronger statement for large n: that if δ(G) > 3n/4, then any 2-edge-color...

introduction: sentinel lymph node biopsy is the standard procedure for lymph node staging in intermediate thickness melanoma. in iran, this procedure has not been addressed sufficiently. in this study, we report our experience in this area. methods: ten consecutive patients with intermediate thickness melanoma where included in our study. 1.5 mci of tc-99m antimony sulfide colloid in two divide...
