LaiPen LP 100 - a new device for estimating forest ecosystem leaf area index compared to the etalon: A methodologic case study

Journal of Forest Science, 2018
Fast and precise leaf area index (LAI) estimation of a forest stand is frequently needed for a wide range of ecological studies. In the presented study, we compared side-by-side two instruments for performing LAI estimation (i.e.

Beyond the Outburst: Charting a New Frontier for Understanding and Treating Irritability in Autistic Adults

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Irritability is a prevalent and impairing feature associated with autism, yet remains poorly understood, particularly in adults. Drawing heavily on insights translated from pediatric and transdiagnostic literatures, we propose that irritability in autistic individuals often reflects a psychophysiological stress or threat response, rooted in a ...

Comparison of Vegetation Indices for Leaf Area Index Estimation in Vertical Shoot Positioned Vine Canopies with and without Grenbiule Hail-Protection Netting

Remote Sensing, 2019
Leaf area per unit surface (LAI—leaf area index) is a valuable parameter to assess vine vigour in several applications, including direct mapping of vegetative−reproductive balance (VRB).

Comparative Evaluation of Algorithms for Leaf Area Index Estimation from Digital Hemispherical Photography through Virtual Forests

Remote Sensing, 2021
The in situ leaf area index (LAI) measurement plays a vital role in calibrating and validating satellite LAI products. Digital hemispherical photography (DHP) is a widely used in situ forest LAI measurement method.

From anthelmintic to neuro‐oncology: A systematic review of mebendazole repurposing for brain tumour therapy

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Mebendazole (MBZ), a benzimidazole anthelmintic with established clinical use, has emerged as a repurposing candidate for primary brain tumours due to its multimodal anticancer actions and central nervous system penetrance. This systematic review synthesizes preclinical and clinical evidence evaluating MBZ's efficacy, mechanisms of action ...

Relationship between spring triticale physiological traits and productivity changes as affected by different N rates

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2017
There is still a lack of knowledge about the physiological traits of spring triticale (x Triticosecale Wittm.) and their relationship with grain yield and protein content under the conditions of the environmental Zone Nemoral 2.

Life as an ethnic minority (EM) university student: Comparing mental health challenges among local and international EM students in Hong Kong

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract University students globally face growing mental health challenges, with ethnic minority (EM) students—both local and international—being particularly vulnerable. Yet, limited research compares their experiences or identifies shared and distinct stressors, especially in non‐Western contexts.

Retrieving the Leaf Area Index of Dense and Highly Clumped Moso Bamboo Canopies from Sentinel-2 MSI Data

Remote Sensing
The effects of leaf clumping on leaf area index (LAI, m2·m−2) retrieval have been proved by several studies. For dense and highly clumped Moso bamboo canopies, LAI is usually retrieved using the SAIL-series models that do not account for leaf clumping ...

Measurement and modelling litter biomass and leaf area index using allometry in a Beech-Hornbeam stand in the mid-elevation of the Hyrcanian region, Iran [PDF]

تحقیقات جنگل و صنوبر ایران, 2014
Litter biomass and leaf area index (LAI) are two important attributes which play crucial roles on the biological processes which impact forest productivity, including photosynthesis, water and nutrient cycles.
