A Large-Scale Agricultural Land Classification Method Based on Synergistic Integration of Time Series Red-Edge Vegetation Index and Phenological Features.

Sensors (Basel)

January 2025

National Engineering Laboratory for Efficient Utilization of Soil and Fertilizer Resources, College of Resources and Environment, Shandong Agricultural University, Tai'an 271018, China.

Agricultural land classification plays a pivotal role in food security and ecological sustainability, yet achieving accurate large-scale mapping remains challenging. This study presents methodological innovations through a multi-level feature enhancement framework that transcends traditional time series analysis. Using Shandong Province, northern China's agricultural heartland, as a case study, we first established a foundation with time series red-edge vegetation indices (REVI) from Sentinel-2 imagery, uniquely combining the normalized difference red edge index (NDRE) and plant senescence reflectance index (PSRI).

This paper presents, for the first time, a rotary actuator functionalized by an inclined disc rotor that serves as a distal optical scanner for endoscopic probes, enabling side-viewing endoscopy in luminal organs using different imaging/analytic modalities such as optical coherence tomography and Raman spectroscopy. This scanner uses a magnetic rotor designed to have a mirror surface on its backside, being electromagnetically driven to roll around the cone-shaped hollow base to create a motion just like a precessing coin. An optical probing beam directed from the probe's optic fiber is passed through the hollow cone to be incident and bent on the back mirror of the rotating inclined rotor, circulating the probing beam around the scanner for full 360° sideway imaging.

Design and Application of Uniaxially Sensitive Stress Sensor.

Micromachines (Basel)

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Electronic Thin Films and Integrated Devices, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China.

Current stress sensors for microsystems face integration challenges and complex signal decoding. This paper proposes a real-time uniaxially sensitive stress sensor. It is obtained by simple combinations of bar resistors using their sensitivity differences in different axes.

Severe Lipoatrophy in a Growth Hormone Deficient Toddler Girl Treated with a Non-Pegylated Long-Acting Growth Hormone.

Children (Basel)

January 2025

Pediatric Research Center, New Children's Hospital, University of Helsinki, Helsinki University Hospital, 00290 Helsinki, Finland.

Background: Recombinant growth hormone (rhGH) has been used since 1985 to treat growth hormone (GH)-induced short stature, typically associated with transient adverse events. However, lipoatrophy, characterized by irreversible damage to subcutaneous fat, was first reported in 1999 and linked to antibody formation. In 2021, localized lipoatrophy was observed in 14.

Liver cancer has a high mortality rate worldwide, and clinicians segment liver vessels in CT images before surgical procedures. However, liver vessels have a complex structure, and the segmentation process is conducted manually, so it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Consequently, it would be extremely useful to develop a deep learning-based automatic liver vessel segmentation method.
