Evaluation of SMAP Freeze/Thaw Retrieval Accuracy at Core Validation Sites in the Contiguous United States [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2018 Seasonal freeze-thaw (FT) impacts much of the northern hemisphere and is an important control on its water, energy, and carbon cycle. Although FT in natural environments extends south of 45°N, FT studies using the L-band have so far been restricted ...

Assessing the Potential of Combined SMAP and In-Situ Soil Moisture for Improving Streamflow Forecast
Hydrology, 2023 Soil moisture is an essential hydrological variable for a suite of hydrological applications. Its spatio-temporal variability can be estimated using satellite remote sensing (e.g., SMOS and SMAP) and in-situ measurements.

Von Neumann Entropy-Preserving Quantum Operations [PDF]
, 2011 For a given quantum state $\rho$ and two quantum operations $\Phi$ and $\Psi$, the information encoded in the quantum state $\rho$ is quantified by its von Neumann entropy $\S(\rho)$. By the famous Choi-Jamio{\l}kowski isomorphism, the quantum operation $

AP-1 Recruits SMAP-1/SMAPs to the trans-Golgi Network to Promote Sorting in Polarized Epithelia
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Coordinated AP-1 and clathrin coat assembly mediate secretory sorting on the trans-Golgi network (TGN) during conventional secretion. Here we found that SMAP-1/SMAPs deficiency caused the apical protein ERM-1 to accumulate on the basolateral side of the ...
