The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of exercise on memory and thinking abilities in older adults. The study found that regular exercise improved memory and the ability to multitask in sedentary older adults aged 60-79. Participants who exercised 3 times a week for 6 months showed significant improvements in memory, attention, and the ability to juggle multiple tasks compared to a non-exercising control group.
Dimitri Mendeleev constructed the periodic table in 1869 while writing a chemistry textbook. He arranged the known elements based on their atomic mass, noticing they had similar properties when grouped together. The periodic table organizes all known elements and allows scientists to predict properties and find patterns in how elements react with one another.

This document provides biographical information about Jordan Christian Finfrock, a junior at Minarets High School with a 3.85 GPA who is known for academics, baseball, work ethic, and attitude. Finfrock enjoys baseball, working with his hands, and being outdoors fishing and hunting. He hopes to obtain an engineering degree from college.
Dmitri Mendeleev created the periodic table by organizing the known elements based on their atomic masses and properties into periods and groups. He saw a pattern that allowed him to predict properties of undiscovered elements. The periodic table arranges elements into families including non-metals, alkali metals, alkaline metals, transition metals, metalloids, other metals, halogens, noble gases, lanthanides and actinides.
Radburn is a planned community located in New Jersey that was developed in the 1920s based on principles of separating pedestrian and vehicular traffic. It utilized superblocks with interior parks and a network of pedestrian paths to allow residents to access all community amenities without crossing streets. The community was designed with turned-around houses facing the pedestrian network and included single-family homes, row houses, apartments, parks, and a shopping center. While innovative at the time, some of Radburn's designs did not work as intended, such as underutilized front green spaces. However, Radburn demonstrated early principles of planning that focused on open space and community design, influencing later suburban development.

FR3.L09 - MULTIBASELINE GRADIENT AMBIGUITY RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT MINIMUM COST...grssieee
The document describes a multibaseline gradient ambiguity resolution method for phase unwrapping using TanDEM-X interferometric SAR data. It models the interferometric phase as gradients, uses the zero curl constraint as a prior, and formulates the problem as a graphical model solved using message passing. Results on a test site in Argentina show the method can successfully unwrap phases and resolve ambiguities better than a single baseline approach.
The document discusses applications of the integral equation model (IEM) in microwave remote sensing for retrieving land surface parameters. It presents the IEM and its advantages over traditional models. It then describes using IEM and AIEM simulations to develop parameterized emission models and inversion algorithms for soil moisture retrieval from satellites like AMSR-E and SMOS/SMAP. Validation results using ground measurements show the algorithms can accurately estimate soil moisture.
Fr1-T104-Ramdani-LECTURING ON SATELLITE IMAGERY PROCESSING AND GIS.pptxgrssieee
This document summarizes lectures on satellite imagery processing and GIS using open source software over the internet. It discusses using ILWIS and MapWindow GIS software to teach remote sensing and GIS concepts to students. A case study showed that 90 minute lectures were most effective for teaching materials and getting student feedback. Example applications demonstrated using the software for environmental monitoring, urban planning, and land use/land cover mapping in Indonesia. The document concludes that open source software is recommended for instruction due to low cost and ease of use, but may have stability issues on low-spec computers.
recent advances in scvattering model-based decompositionsgrssieee
The document discusses using polarimetric orientation (PO) for polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (POLSAR) classification and decomposition to discriminate between built-up and non-built-up areas. It presents a method that uses the PO angles from ascending and descending orbits to identify built-up areas facing away from the radar based on a PO angle threshold. An experiment using ALOS PALSAR data demonstrates the method and shows that it prevents misleading interpretations from POLSAR decomposition and classification by accounting for the influence of radar illumination direction.
TerraHydro is a distributed hydrological system created by INPE to develop hydrographic basin applications using a graph structure to unify representation of water flow. It extracts local flows from different data structures and maps them to a single graph structure. This allows applications to be independent of the original data structure and makes operations over water flow formally defined. TerraHydro has functionality for extracting flow, redefining flow at different resolutions, calculating accumulation areas, and delineating basins and river reaches. It was developed using open source libraries TerraLib and TerraView.
The document summarizes research on simulating satellite brightness temperature (BT) data using land surface models and observations. Key points:
- Researchers developed a two-phase system to simulate gridded AMSR-E BT data using the Community Land Model, a microwave emissivity model, and calibration with SCE-UA algorithm and AMSR-E observations.
- The system calibrates parameters and wetland emissivity to minimize differences between simulated and observed BT. Calibrated wetland emissivities showed good transferability to another location.
- A soil moisture data assimilation system using the simulated BT data produced more accurate soil moisture estimates than the land model alone.
The document summarizes research on developing algorithms to estimate biomass levels in boreal forests using P-band SAR data from BioSAR experiments. Six regression models were tested using data from the Krycklan and Remningstorp sites in Sweden. The best performing models were ones that incorporated multiple polarizations including HV polarization, polarization ratios, and topographic corrections. These models achieved root mean squared errors of 30-40 tons/ha for above ground dry biomass estimation, significantly outperforming models using only single polarization data.
This document presents a method for estimating the eigenvalues of a covariance matrix when there are few samples. It involves shifting the sampled eigenvalues toward the population values based on theoretical distributions, and balancing the energy across eigenvalues. This simple 3-matrix approach improves estimation and detection performance compared to using the sampled eigenvalues alone. Simulations and hyperspectral data experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.
Multitemporal region-based classification of high-resolution images by Markov...grssieee
This paper proposes a new method for classifying multitemporal high-resolution images using Markov random fields and multiscale segmentation. The method fuses spatial, temporal, and multiscale information by generating segmentation maps at different scales and time points, and using these in a novel region-based multitemporal Markov random field model. Experimental results on QuickBird and SPOT-5 datasets show the method produces accurate classification maps and outperforms previous techniques that do not fully leverage multiscale and contextual information.
Tomographic Profiling (TP) is a new imaging scheme that provides vertical backscatter profiles through targets like snow, ice, vegetation and forestry from a single pass. TP retrieves a set of images at different incidence angles, with the incidence angle constant within each image. The document presents the TP technique, provides theoretical background, and shows experimental results from ground-based field and laboratory measurements using TP on forests, snowpacks, and laboratory targets. Future work includes an airborne demonstration of TP.
