A SEMI-ANALYTICAL APPROACH FOR ESTIMATING INLAND WATER INHERENT OPTICAL PROPERTIES AND CHLOROPHYLL A USING AIRBORNE HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGERY

A semi-analytical approach for estimating inland water inherent optical properties and chlorophyll a using airborne hyperspectral imagery

The inversion of inherent optical properties (IOPs) and chlorophyll a (Chla) is one of the key objectives in water color remote sensing, and hyperspectral remote sensing with rich spectral information makes precise inversion possible.In this study, we developed a semi-analytical estimation method for inland water IOPs based on the quasi-analytical

Influence of roasting on the thermal degradation pathway in the glucosinolates of fragrant rapeseed oil: Implications to flavour profiles

Purified desulphated glucosinolates (GSLs) were subjected to thermal treatment in model systems without interference to investigate the formation of volatile components derived from GSLs only.Desulphated progoitrin (PRO), desulphated gluconapin (GNA), and Bags desulphated glucobrassicanapin (GBN) were isolated from rapeseed (Brassica napus L.).Thei

Clinical and microbiological study of vancomycin-resistant enterococci isolated from colonized and infected patients with special reference to risk factors

Background: Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) has become a growing concern in healthcare settings as a major cause of many nosocomial infections worldwide.Risk factors associated with VRE are important to study.High-risk patients need to be screened and isolated to prevent the spread of infection and colonization.The present study aims to inve

Barriers, Risks and Policies for Renewables in the Gulf States

The countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have both large fossil fuel resources and vast renewable energy potentials.Here, we investigate in a literature meta-analysis and a survey, whether there is a need for renewables in the GCC, what barriers and risks presently deter investments, and what possible policy-solutions could be.We find th
