Free and open access to the Landsat archive has enabled the detection and delineation of an unprecedented number of fire events across the globe.Despite the availability and potential of these data, few studies have analysed residual vegetation patterns and/or partial mortality of fire across the Canadian boreal forest, and those available, are eit
Registry randomised trials: a methodological perspective
Registry randomised clinical trials (RRCTs) have the potential to provide pragmatic answers to important clinical questions.RRCTs can be embedded into large population-based registries or smaller single site registries to provide timely answers at a reduced cost compared with traditional randomised controlled trials.RRCTs can take a number of forms
Vehicle Make and Model Recognition using Bag of Expressions
Vehicle make and model recognition (VMMR) is a key task for automated vehicular surveillance (AVS) and various intelligent transport system (ITS) applications.In this paper, we propose and study the suitability of the bag of expressions (BoE) approach for VMMR-based applications.The method includes neighborhood information in addition to visual wor
A Geochemical Overview of Mid-Archaean Metavolcanic Rocks from Southwest Greenland
The present contribution reviews bulk-rock geochemical data for mid-Archaean (ca.3075–2840 Ma) metavolcanic rocks from the North Atlantic Craton of southwest Greenland.The data set includes the most recent high quality major and trace element geochemical analyses for ten different supracrustal/greenstone belts in the region.When distilling th
Design of Acoustic Signals for a Seal Deterrent Device
During the past decade, attacks by grey seals on fishing nets in the Baltic Sea have caused considerable loss of fish catch and damage to fishing gears.One of the approaches to reduce the number Ball - Training Aids of seal attacks on fishing nets is to use acoustic deterrent devices (ADDs).Unfortunately, most of the commercially available ADDs are
