COMPARISON OF VARIABLE EXTRACTION METHODS USING SURFACE FIELD DATA AND ITS KEY INFLUENCING FACTORS: A CASE STUDY ON ABOVEGROUND BIOMASS OF PINUS DENSATA FOREST USING THE ORIGINAL BANDS AND VEGETATION INDICES OF LANDSAT 8

Comparison of variable extraction methods using surface field data and its key influencing factors: A case study on aboveground biomass of Pinus densata forest using the original bands and vegetation indices of Landsat 8

Insufficient sample data is a challenge when estimating forest aboveground biomass (AGB) using large-scale remote sensing.Extracting remote sensing information from sub-compartments could rectify such defects, but the corresponding method, its accuracy, and influencing factors still need to be clarified.We combined Landsat 8 data NEFF B57VS24H0B N9

Impedance Changes and Fibrous Tissue Growth after Cochlear Implantation Are Correlated and Can Be Reduced Using a Dexamethasone Eluting Electrode.

BACKGROUND:The efficiency of cochlear implants (CIs) is affected by postoperative connective tissue growth around the electrode array.This tissue formation is thought to be the cause behind post-operative increases in impedance.Dexamethasone (DEX) eluting CIs may reduce fibrous tissue growth around the electrode array subsequently moderating elevat
