CLASSIFYING THE BUILT-UP STRUCTURE OF URBAN BLOCKS WITH PROBABILISTIC GRAPHICAL MODELS AND TERRASAR-X SPOTLIGHT IMAGERY

Classifying the Built-Up Structure of Urban Blocks with Probabilistic Graphical Models and TerraSAR-X Spotlight Imagery

Up-to-date maps of a city’s urban structure types (USTs) are very important for effective planning, as well as for different studies and applications.We present an approach for the classification of USTs at the level of urban blocks based on high-resolution spaceborne radar imagery.Images obtained at the satellite’s ascending and descen

From Bacteria to Zooplankton: An Integrative Approach Revealing Regional Spatial Patterns During the Spring Phytoplankton Bloom in the Southern Bight of the North Sea

Plankton comprises a large diversity of organisms, from pico- to macro-sized classes, and spans several trophic levels, whose population dynamics are characterized by a high spatio-temporal deva curl arc angel variability.Studies integrating multiple plankton groups, in respect to size classes and trophic levels, are still rare, which hampers a mor

Journey to the other side of the brain: asymmetry in patients with chronic mild or moderate traumatic brain injury

Aim: Patients with chronic mild or moderate traumatic read more brain injury have some regions of brain atrophy (including cerebral white matter) but even more regions of abnormal brain enlargement (including other cerebral regions).Hypothesis: Ipsilateral injury and atrophy cause the eventual development of contralateral compensatory hypertrophy.M
