Utilizing UAV and orthophoto data with bathymetric LiDAR in google earth engine for coastal cliff degradation assessment.

This study introduces a novel methodology for estimating and analysing coastal cliff degradation, using machine learning and remote sensing data. Degradation refers to both natural abrasive processes and damage to coastal reinforcement structures caused by natural events. We utilized orthophotos and LiDAR data in green and near-infrared wavelengths to identify zones impacted by storms and extreme weather events that initiated mass movement processes.

High resolution optical and acoustic remote sensing datasets of the Puck Lagoon.

The very shallow marine basin of Puck Lagoon in the southern Baltic Sea, on the Northern coast of Poland, hosts valuable benthic habitats and cultural heritage sites. These include, among others, protected Zostera marina meadows, one of the Baltic's major medieval harbours, a ship graveyard, and likely other submerged features that are yet to be discovered. Prior to this project, no comprehensive high-resolution remote sensing data were available for this area.

Offshore benthic habitat mapping based on object-based image analysis and geomorphometric approach. A case study from the Slupsk Bank, Southern Baltic Sea.

Benthic habitat mapping is a rapidly growing field of underwater remote sensing studies. This study provides the first insight for high-resolution hydroacoustic surveys in the Slupsk Bank Natura 2000 site, one of the most valuable sites in the Polish Exclusive Zone of the Southern Baltic. This study developed a quick and transparent, automatic classification workflow based on multibeam echosounder and side-scan sonar surveys to classify benthic habitats in eight study sites within the Slupsk Bank.

The role of hand therapy in facilitating participation in rock wall climbing: A case report of a woman with cerebral palsy.

Study Design: This is a case report.

Background: A woman with hemiplegic cerebral palsy and limited right upper extremity motion, strength, and control was referred to hand therapy to enable participation in adaptive climbing.

Purpose: The purpose of this case is to describe the role of hand therapy in identifying and addressing barriers to participation in adaptive climbing.

Study of Subjective Data Integrity for Image Quality Data Sets with Consumer Camera Content.

We need data sets of images and subjective scores to develop robust no reference (or blind) visual quality metrics for consumer applications. These applications have many uncontrolled variables because the camera creates the original media and the impairment simultaneously. We do not fully understand how this impacts the integrity of our subjective data.

Long-term results following surgical treatment of elbow deformity in patients with cerebral palsy.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term results of surgical intervention for elbow flexion deformity in cerebral palsy. We hypothesized that improvements in elbow extension and flexion posture angle at ambulation would be maintained over time with preservation of active flexion.

Methods: A total of 23 patients (23 elbows) were available for long-term follow-up.

[Clinical experience with a novel surgical technique: laparoscopy-assisted vaginal hysterectomy].

A new surgical technique, the laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) is evaluated through the clinical course of a group of patients operated for hysterectomy in the years 1993-1995. Although the groups of patients being operated for LAVH, vaginal or abdominal hysterectomy have not been randomized, we conclude that the laparoscopic assistance allows the vaginal approach of hysterectomies that should have been otherwise operated by laparotomy. Medical and financial advantages of this technique are discussed.
