Cloud detection algorithms are crucial in many remote-sensing applications to allow an
optimized processing of the acquired data, without the interference of the cloud fields above the …

Lightly stroking the lips or gently poking some skin regions can evoke mechanical itch in
healthy human subjects. Sensitization of mechanical itch and persistent spontaneous itch are …

Distributed Space Missions such as formation flight and constellations, are being recognized
as important Earth Observation solutions to increase measurement samples over space …

Continuous analytics systems that enable query processing over steams of data have
emerged as key solutions for dealing with massive data volumes and demands for low latency. …

In this paper, a fast encoding algorithm is developed for fractal image compression. At each
search entry in the domain pool, the mean square error (MSE) calculations of the given …

Modern data analysis applications driven by the Network Effect are pushing traditional
database and data warehousing technologies beyond their limits due to their massively …

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver malignancy and is a leading
cause of cancer-related death worldwide. In the United States, HCC is the ninth leading …

Ultralight graphene-based cellular elastomers are found to exhibit nearly frequency-independent
piezoresistive behaviors. Surpassing the mechanoreceptors in the human skin, these …

Efficient oxygen utilization in the kidney may be supported by paracellular epithelial transport,
a form of passive diffusion that is driven by preexisting transepithelial electrochemical …

We evaluated whether fruit selection by autumn-migrating birds at an important stopover
site in southern New England was related to water-soluble antioxidant content of fruits. We …
