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.

Application Perspectives of the Leaf Area Index (LAI) Estimated by the Hemiview System in Forestry [PDF]

Proceedings of the Latvia University of Agriculture, 2015
Abstract Leaf area index (LAI) is widely used to describe the main characteristics of forest stands such as cover intensity at different forest levels from moss to tree as well as main stand dendrometric parameters. Hemispherical canopy photograph was used for analyzing quality and quantity of coniferous forest in Aukstaitija national ...

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.

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).

Parasitic contamination of leafy vegetables: a function of the leaf area index (lai)

Global Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences, 2003
A survey was undertaken to determine the degree of contamination of some stable vegetables and their surrounding soils by parasites in Uyo, Nigeria. Out of the 780 leaves from six vegetables and 50 soil samples screened, 498 (63.9%) of vegetables and 36 (72%) of the soil samples were positive for parasite ova, larvae or cyst respectively.

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.

Estimating Leaf Area Index with Dynamic Leaf Optical Properties

Remote Sensing, 2021
Leaf area index (LAI) plays an important role in models of climate, hydrology, and ecosystem productivity. The physical model-based inversion method is a practical approach for large-scale LAI inversion.

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 ...
