Remote sensing products are typically assessed using a single accuracy estimate for the entire map, despite significant variations in accuracy across different map areas or classes. Estimating per-pixel uncertainty is a major challenge for enhancing the usability and potential of remote sensing products. This paper introduces the open access tool, a novel statistical design-based approach that specifically addresses this issue by estimating per-pixel uncertainty through a bootstrap resampling procedure.

Spatial aperture coding is a technique used to improve throughput without sacrificing resolution both in optical spectroscopy and sector mass spectrometry (MS). Previous work demonstrated that aperture coding combined with a position-sensitive array detector in a miniature cycloidal mass spectrometer was successful in providing high-throughput, high-resolution measurements. However, due to poor alignment and field nonuniformities, reconstruction artifacts were present.

Article Synopsis
  • * CTCs were found primarily in the ovarian vein samples of 8 out of 10 patients, with no significant differences in the number of CTCs based on age, tumor grade, FIGO stage, or tumor size.
  • * The study identified estrogen receptor-positive CTCs and clusters, indicating a need for further research on the potential prognostic and therapeutic implications of CTCs during EC surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • The study looked at how patients felt after having their Essure devices surgically removed, checking their quality of life (QoL) and any symptoms they had before and after the surgery.
  • 65 patients had the surgery, and while many felt better after 3 months and 4 years, some still had problems or didn't improve at all.
  • The researchers found that mental health issues like anxiety were more common before the surgery but improved afterwards; they suggest more research to fully understand the risks and benefits of this surgery.
