Fine Classification of UAV Urban Nighttime Light Images Based on Object-Oriented Approach
Sensors, 2023 Fine classification of urban nighttime lighting is a key prerequisite step for small-scale nighttime urban research. In order to fill the gap of high-resolution urban nighttime light image classification and recognition research, this paper is based on a

Rhythms of Locomotion Expressed by Limulus polyphemus, the American Horseshoe Crab: II. Relationship to Circadian Rhythms of Visual Sensitivity [PDF]
, 2008 In the laboratory, horseshoe crabs express a circadian rhythm of visual sensitivity as well as daily and circatidal rhythms of locomotion. The major goal of this investigation was to determine whether the circadian clock underlying changes in visual ...

Artificial nighttime light changes aphid-parasitoid population dynamics [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractArtificial light at night (ALAN) is recognized as a widespread and increasingly important anthropogenic environmental pressure on wild species and their interactions. Understanding of how these impacts translate into changes in population dynamics of communities with multiple trophic levels is, however, severely lacking.

Assessing the economic loss due to natural disasters from outer space
Climate Services, 2022 We propose an innovative approach to provide climate service by using the geographic distributions of natural disasters, assets exposed to disasters, and nighttime lights to estimate the potential benefit of climate-change adaptation through the economic

Shedding Light on the Shadow Economy: A Nighttime Light Approach
The Journal of Development Studies, 2016 AbstractMeasuring the shadow economy is inherently difficult, but critical for understanding economic development. Using census data on formal and informal sectors in Cambodia, we document that 96.6 per cent of non-farm establishments do not formally register with the government, and their sales accounted for 76.6 per cent of total sales in 2011 ...
