Mapping the distribution of forested areas and monitoring their spatio-temporal changes are necessary for the conservation and management of forests.This paper presents two new image composites for the visualization and extraction of forest cover.By exploiting the Landsat-8 satellite-based multi-temporal and multi-spectral reflectance datasets, the
Hierarchical Cd4SiS6/SiO2 Heterostructure Nanowire Arrays
Abstract Novel hierarchical Cd4SiS6/SiO2 based heterostructure nanowire Plant Stands arrays were fabricated on silicon substrates by a one-step thermal evaporation of CdS powder.The as-grown products were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy.Studies reveal that a typical hierarchi
Cognitive behavioural therapy versus supportive therapy for persistent positive symptoms in psychotic disorders: The POSITIVE Study, a multicenter, prospective, single-blind, randomised controlled clinical trial
Abstract Background It has been demonstrated that cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) has a moderate effect on Plant Stands symptom reduction and on general well being of patients suffering from psychosis.However, questions regarding the specific efficacy of CBT, the treatment safety, the cost-effectiveness, and the moderators and mediators of trea
Viscoelastic coagulation test for liver transplantation
Coagulation and transfusion management in patients undergoing liver transplantation is challenging.Proper perioperative monitoring of hemostasis is essential to predict the risk of bleeding during surgery, to detect potential causes of hemorrhage in time, and to guide hemostatic therapy.The value of conventional coagulation test is questionable in
A Study on Prevention and Automatic Recovery of Blockchain Networks Against Persistent Censorship Attacks
Blockchain techniques have been actively used in a wide range of applications owing to their unforgeable characteristics.Currently, many blockchain platforms are applying a pBFT-based Delegate PoS(DPoS) consensus mechanism in their networks, because it ensures a quick consensus process since only a few validators participate in the consensus proces
