Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The use of Land Use Land Cover (LULC) analysis is a fundamental requirement for urban solid waste management (SWM); however, conventional LULC analysis methods are not well suited to the spatio‐temporal variability, multi‐sensor heterogeneity, and seasonal variations of highly dynamic urban environments.

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.Experimental and numerical evaluation of birefringence of injection molded parts ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of mold surface coatings on the birefringence of injection‐molded optical‐quality polycarbonate lenses. Birefringence, caused by residual stresses during molding, affects optical clarity and performance.

A Retina Inspired Model for Enhancing Visibility of Hazy Images
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2015 The mammalian retina seems far smarter than scientists have believed so far. Inspired by the visual processing mechanisms in the retina, from the layer of photoreceptors to the layer of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), we propose a computational model for ...

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.

Small, EarlyView.Transparency, toughness, and self‐healing rarely coexist within a single polyimide. This bio‐based aliphatic–aromatic film resolves that conflict. An isosorbide‐derived dianhydride and a fatty diamine cooperatively suppress charge‐transfer complexes, yielding a colorless film that heals rapidly under mild heat, retains its toughness, and restores ...

Haze and thin cloud removal for optical satellite imagery
, 2017 Images are seriously affected by haze phenomena due to severe air illusion emitted by massive factories on earth, which also influences clarity of both photography and satellite images. Further approach and operation based on these images is impeded with

Enhance Dehazed Images Rapidly Without Losing Restoration Accuracy
IEEE AccessWe proposed a novel image-enhancing framework to ensure consolidated restoration accuracy when remedying the visual quality of dehazed images, such as over-saturation, color deviation, or luminance issues. Conventionally, the dehazing process was usually
