Monitoring vegetation dynamics using multi-temporal Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) images of Tamil Nadu

open access: yesJournal of Applied and Natural Science, 2023
Vegetation indices serve as an essential tool in monitoring variations in vegetation. The vegetation indices used often, viz., normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and enhanced vegetation index (EVI) were computed from MODIS vegetation index products.

Mechanisms of IgE‐mediated food allergy and the role of allergen‐specific B cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Food allergy arises when allergen‐specific B cells preferentially produce immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against harmless foods. This article explains the mechanisms driving IgE‐mediated reactions, highlights the central role of these B cells, and discusses how natural tolerance (NT) and oral immunotherapy (OIT) can reshape allergic immune responses.

Drought events and their effects on vegetation productivity in China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Many parts of the world have experienced frequent and severe droughts during the last few decades. Most previous studies examined the effects of specific drought events on vegetation productivity.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Comparison of Remote Sensing Estimation Models for Leaf Area Index of Rubber Plantation in Hainan Island

open access: yes智慧农业, 2021
Leaf area index (LAI) is an important index to describe the growth status and canopy structure of vegetation, is of great theoretical and practical significance to quickly obtain LAI of large area vegetation and crops for ecosystem science research and ...

Riparian Vegetation of Suhuyon River, North Sulawesi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Riparian vegetation has important ecological roles in maintaining river quality. The declining of riparian vegetation will cause to decreasing of water quality and aquatic and terrestrial biodiversities.

Promiscuous stimulation of HSP70 ATPase activity by parasite‐derived J‐domains

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum exports three highly homologous yet functionally divergent J‐domain proteins into human erythrocytes. Here, we show that J‐domains isolated from all three proteins effectively stimulate the ATPase activity of both endogenous host and exported parasite HSP70 chaperones.

Extraction and monitoring of vegetation coverage based on uncrewed aerial vehicle visible image in a post gold mining area

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Vegetation coverage reflects the degree of environmental degradation. Timely and effective monitoring of vegetation conditions is the basis for promoting vegetation protection and improving the ecological environment of mining areas. Exploring vegetation

ESTIMATING LEAF AREA INDEX OF RIVERINE VEGETATION USING HYPERSPECTRAL REMOTE SENSING AND VEGETATION INDEX

open access: yesPROCEEDINGS OF HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING, 2006
Hyperspectral data were acquired from in situ ground measurements in a riparian grass field. The leaf area index (LAI) was measured using a LAI-2000 analyzer. Data sets were analyzed by empirical approaches using simple vegetation indices (VIs), NDVI and RVI.
