A NEW 32-DAY AVERAGE-DIFFERENCE METHOD FOR CALCULATING INTER-SENSOR CALIBRATION RADIOMETRIC BIASES BETWEEN SNPP AND NOAA-20 INSTRUMENTS WITHIN ICVS FRAMEWORK

A New 32-Day Average-Difference Method for Calculating Inter-Sensor Calibration Radiometric Biases between SNPP and NOAA-20 Instruments within ICVS Framework

Two existing double-difference (DD) methods, using either a 3rdSensor or Radiative Transfer Modeling (RTM) as a transfer, are applicable primarily for limited regions and channels, and, thus critical in capturing inter-sensor calibration radiometric bias features.A supplementary method is also desirable for estimating inter-sensor calibration biase

Cancer as a System Dysfunction

In this paper, we describe a system dynamics model that views cancer as a dysfunction of the cellular system rather than as an ailment of cells.Our experiments with the model replicate the propagation of the ailment and the impacts of the treatments.It short shifter rsx presents a concept that deviates from the pervasive view of cancer as a cell ma

A loose endosperm structure of wheat seed produced under low nitrogen level promotes early germination by accelerating water uptake

Abstract Water uptake is the fundamental requirement for the initiation and completion of seed germination that is a vital phase in the life cycle of seed plants.We found that seeds produced under four nitrogen short shifter rsx levels showed significantly different germination speed.The objective of this study was to study the mechanism of rapid s
