Analysis of ontogenetic changes Thermal Socks in long bone microstructure aid in vertebrate life history reconstructions.Specifically, osteohistological examination of common fauna can be used to infer growth strategies of biologically uncommon, threatened, or extinct vertebrates.Although nine-banded armadillo biology has been studied extensively,
We present a simple yet efficient scalable Button Covers scheme for wavelet-based video coders, able to provide on-demand spatial, temporal, and SNR scalability, and fully compatible with the still-image coding standard JPEG2000.Whereas hybrid video coders must undergo significant changes in order to support scalability, our coder only requires a s
The extensive alteration of freshwater habitat across the globe has resulted in the decline of a number of wildlife species, some of which now face extinction.Large-bodied species are frequently at greatest risk.However, identifying the direct and indirect pathways of impact on these long-lived and often cryptic predators has proven challenging.Sin
Foliage fuel load (FFL) is a critical factor affecting crown fire intensity and rate of spread.Satellite observations provide the potential for monitoring FFL dynamics across large areas.Previous studies commonly used empirical methods to estimate FFL, which potentially lacks reproducibility.This study applied Landsat 7 ETM+ and 8 OLI data f
