Semantic segmentation (SS) has been widely applied for cloud detection (CD) in remote sensing images (RSIs) with high spatial and spectral resolution because of its effective pixel-level feature extraction structure.However, the typical model of lightweight SS, namely the fully convolutional network (FCN) with only seven layers, has difficulty in e
Artisanal and Small-scale Gold Mining (ASGM) is a source of supply in many areas of the world, especially in developing countries.This is often carried out illegally using toxic substances such as mercury.Mercury, due to its chemical–physical properties and the transport factors involved between the different environmental matrices, can percolate
Abstract Background There is increasing evidence that myosteatosis, which is currently not assessed in clinical routine, plays an important role in risk estimation in individuals with impaired glucose metabolism, as it is associated with the progression of insulin resistance.With advances in artificial intelligence, automated and accurate algorithm
In strawberry production, western flower thrips (WFT) and two-spotted spider mites (TSSM) inflict feeding damage and reduce the yield.Biological control for these pests often includes phytoseiid predatory mites and entomopathogenic fungi.The hemipteran family Nabidae have been reported as prominent predators in open-field strawberry.Nabis americofe
In arable landscapes, the airborne detection of archaeological features is often reliant toys on using the properties of the vegetation cover as a proxy for sub-surface features in the soil.Under the right conditions, the formation of vegetation marks allows archaeologists to identify and interpret archaeological features.Using airborne Laser Scann
