This article, fused airborne LiDAR and hyperspectral data were used to extract urban objects in cloud shadows.The experimental results confirm that the proposed method is very effective for urban object extraction in cloud shadows and thus improve urban applications such as urban green land management, land use analysis, and impervious surface assessment.

This article is a short biography of Nora Lopez describing her background and her career working on newspapers, starting in high school.

This article explores self-bonded natural fiber material (SNFM) as a promising alternative for plastic and wood owing to its abundant raw material resources and low environmental impact. In this study, a high-performance SNFM was developed by the comprehensive treatments for the plasticity and structure of fiber cell walls. The self-bonded mechanism for natural fiber materials was also discussed. The SNFM products showed excellent mechanical performance, which was superior to that of natural wood and plastic.

This articles presents a novel algorithm for generating in-silico biomimetic models of a cortical bone microstructure towards manufacturing biomimetic bone via additive manufacturing. The software provides a tool for physicians or biomedical engineers to develop models of cortical bone that include the inherent complexity of the microstructure.

Article reporting the three-dimensional crystal structures of the signal-terminating enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) from Arabidopsis in its apo and ligand-bound forms at 2.1- and 3.2-Å resolutions, respectively.

This article critically discusses the role of Magnesium by reviewing recent literature and available data concerning the role of magnesium in neurological disorders. The authors summarize the role of Mg in neurological disorders to illustrate the symptoms caused by Mg-deficiency and the possible underlying mechanisms.

Article systematically studying the effect of Si, P, and S impurities on the diffusion and binding of an H atom in a face-centered-cubic (FCC) Ni lattice using density functional theory (DFT),

This article investigates the design and characterization of a transistor association (TA)-based extended-gate field-effect transistor (EGFET). Prototypes were manufactured using a 130 nm standard complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process and compared with devices presented in recent literature.

This article looks at molecules that can exist in multiple states with the possibility of toggling between those states based on different stimuli. They have potential for use in molecular switching or sensing applications. The coupling of two different oxidation states with two different charge-transfer states within one macrocyclic scaffold delivers up to five different optical outputs. This molecular switching manifold exploits intramolecular coupling of multiple redox active substituents within a single molecule.

Article relates a study describing the development of cultured mahi‐mahi from the zygote stage to adult.

Article describes experiment in which liquid Al2O3 was supercooled more than 500 K below its melting point (Tm = 2,327 K) using aerodynamic levitation and laser heating techniques.

This is a correction of a previously released article. A mistake was found in Figure 2 of the published work. The names of the cell types, “mesophyll cell” and “bundle sheath” were erroneously interchanged.

Article examining teacher preparation programs ability to help preservice teachers connect educational theory with teaching practice. This article systematically reflects on written responses, recorded in a private weblog over the course of a 15-week intermediate reading methods course.

This article is a short biography of broadcast journalist Yolette Garcia describing her educational background and career in both radio and television, as well as teaching.

This article is a short biography of Jessie Degollado describing her family and her career in journalism as a reporter.

This article describes a study to improve the electrical and thermal conductivity of the polylactic acid/wood flour/thermoplastic polyurethane composites by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). The results showed that, when the addition amount of nano-graphite reached 25 pbw, the volume resistivity of the composites decreased to 10⁸ Ω·m, which was a significant reduction, indicating that the conductive network was already formed. It also had good thermal conductivity, mechanical properties, and thermal stability.

This article describes a refined method optimized for maize (Zea mays) seedling leaves, which not only provides a simple procedure for obtaining apoplast fluid, but also allows direct calculation of apoplast hydration at the time of harvest for every sample.
