Traditionally, water conditions of coffee areas are monitored by measuring the leaf water potential (ΨW) throughout a pressure pump. However, there is a demand for the development of technologies that can estimate large areas or regions. In this context, the objective of this study was to estimate the ΨW by surface reflectance values and vegetation indices obtained from the Landsat-8/OLI sensor in Minas Gerais-Brazil Several algorithms using OLI bands and vegetation indexes were evaluated and from the correlation analysis, a quadratic algorithm that uses the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) performed better, with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.82. Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation (LOOCV) was performed to validate the models and the best results were for NDVI quadratic algorithm, presenting a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 27.09% and an R2 of 0.85. Subsequently, the NDVI quadratic algorithm was applied to Landsat-8 images, aiming to spatialize the ΨW estimated in a representative area of regional coffee planting between September 2014 to July 2015. From the proposed algorithm, it was possible to estimate ΨW from Landsat-8/OLI imagery, contributing to drought monitoring in the coffee area leading to cost reduction to the producers.

One-Step Image Reconstruction for Cine MRI with a Quadratic Constraint.
Int J Biomed Res Pract
June 2024
University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, United States.
Motivation: In cine MRI, the measurements within each timeframe alone are too noisy for image reconstruction. Some information must be 'borrowed' from other time frames and the reconstruction algorithm is a slow iterative procedure.
Goals: We set up a constrained objective function, which uses the measurements at other time frames to regularize the image reconstruction.

The quadratic cost functions, exemplified by mean-square-error, often exhibit limited robustness and flexibility when confronted with impulsive noise contamination. In contrast, the generalized maximum correntropy (GMC) criterion, serving as a robust nonlinear similarity measure, offers superior performance in such scenarios. In this paper, we develop a recursive constrained adaptive filtering algorithm named recursive generalized maximum correntropy with a forgetting factor (FF-RCGMC).

Motivation: Biologically relevant RNA secondary structures are routinely predicted by efficient dynamic programming algorithms that minimize their free energy. Starting from such algorithms, one can devise partition function algorithms, which enable stochastic perspectives on RNA structure ensembles. As the most prominent example, McCaskill's partition function algorithm is derived from pseudoknot-free energy minimization.

Background: Maternal morbidity and mortality remain critical health concerns globally. As a result, reducing the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) is part of goal 3 in the global sustainable development goals (SDGs), and previously, it was an important indicator in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Therefore, identifying high-risk groups during pregnancy is crucial for decision-makers and medical practitioners to mitigate mortality and morbidity.

The long-held assumption that the optimization of parameters for NDDO-descendant semiempirical methods may be performed without precise geometry optimization is assessed in detail; the relevant equations for the analytical evaluation of the geometry-corrected derivatives of molecular properties that account for changes in the optimum geometry are then presented. The first and second derivatives calculated from our implementation of MNDO are used for a limited reparameterization of 1,113 CHNO molecules taken from the PM7 training set, demonstrating an improvement over the PARAM program used in the optimization of parameters for the PMx methods.
