Check dams on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) have captured billions of tons of eroded sediment, substantially reducing sediment load in the Yellow River. However, uncertainties persist regarding the precise sediment capture and the role of these dams in Yellow River flow and sediment dynamics due to the lack of available spatial distribution datasets. We produced the first vectorized dataset of silted land formed by check dams on the CLP, combining high-resolution and easily accessible Google Earth images with object-based classification methods.

- Satellite data shows that plants are growing more in places like China and India because of human actions and climate change.
- China is a big player, making 25% of the world’s increase in plant growth, mostly from forests and farms.
- Better farming techniques and more water use have helped food production in both countries increase by over 35% since 2000.
[The effects of non-surgical periodontal treatment on the formation of root-dentin hypersensitivity].
Shanghai Kou Qiang Yi Xue
June 2004
Purpose: To study the effects of non-surgical periodontal treatment on the occurrence of root-dentin hypersensitivity and explore its mechanisms through clinical observations.
Methods: 1453 teeth of 52 patients with chronic periodontitis were given scaling and root-planing procedures. 3 months follow-up of these teeth were taken to find root-dentin hypersensitivity after treatment.
