Local causes, regional co-operation and global financing for environemntal problems: the case of Southeast Asian Haze pollution [PDF]
Lack of action on cross-border environmental problems in developing countries is often ascribed to gaps in local capacity and resources, failure of regional cooperation, and lack of financial support from rich countries.

Environmental Changes and Their Effect on the Airway Microbiome: Implications for Airway Diseases
Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Obstructive airway diseases, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), represent the two major chronic airway inflammatory diseases. In both conditions, the airways are exposed to a variety of microbial and environmental stimuli.

Automatic hazy image enhancement via haze distribution estimation
Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2018 Since the impact of haze on outdoor imaging varies sharply with the scene depth, hazy image enhancement proves to be a challenging task. In this article, we propose an adaptive image enhancement method for haze removal.

Breathing in Plants and Chaos—Cosmic Tree Events in Cameroon and Beyond
Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Contemporary practices of tapping into the wisdom of ancestral trees are described through three entangled recent events lived within the context of Bantu practices in Cameroon. In the three instances, the steered or chance encounters with high potency trees were serendipitous telling moments which brought something new to the horizon.

Sharpness-aware evaluation methodology for haze-removal processing in automotive systems
, 2016 This paper presents a new comparison method for haze-removal algorithms in nextgeneration automotive systems. Compared to previous peak signal-to-noise ratio–based comparisons, which measure similarity, the proposed modulation transfer function–based ...
