A technique to extract solid isosurfaces from three-dimensional electron density data at high speed is presented. The ability to change the contouring threshold in real time renders the method a powerful tool for interactive analysis of proteins and their supramolecular assemblies, in order to compare and combine structural information gathered by different data acquisition methods. Chemical properties can effectively be mapped onto these isosurfaces by the use of texture mapping. The implications of these methods in combination with other visualization techniques are discussed, and a framework for their integration into a general-purpose molecular graphics toolkit is proposed.

Objective Ultrasound is the predominant modality in medical practice for evaluating thyroid nodules. Currently, diagnosis is typically based on textural information. This study aims to develop an automated texture classification approach to aid physicians in interpreting ultrasound images of thyroid nodules.

Grasslands, being vital ecosystems with significant ecological and socio-economic importance, have been the subject of increasing attention due to their role in biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration, and agricultural productivity. However, accurately classifying grassland management intensity, namely extensive and intensive practices, remains challenging, especially across large spatial extents. This research article presents a comprehensive investigation into the classification of grassland management intensity in two distinct regions of Poland, NUTS2 - namely Podlaskie (PL84) and Wielkopolskie (PL41), by integrating data from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery.

The earliest named stromatolite Cryptozoon Hall, 1884 (Late Cambrian, ca. 490 Ma, eastern New York State), was recently re-interpreted as an interlayered microbial mat and non-spiculate (keratosan) sponge deposit. This "classic stromatolite" is prominent in a fundamental debate concerning the significance or even existence of non-spiculate sponges in carbonate rocks from the Neoproterozoic (Tonian) onwards.

Objectives: To explore texture analysis' ability on T and T relaxation maps to classify liver fibrosis into no-to-mild liver fibrosis (nmF) versus severe fibrosis (sF) group using machine learning algorithms and histology as reference standard.
Materials And Methods: In this single-center study, patients undergoing 3 T MRI who also had histology examination were retrospectively enrolled. SNAPSHOT-FLASH sequence for T1 mapping, radial turbo-spin-echo sequence for T2 mapping and spin-echo echo-planar-imaging magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) sequences were analyzed.
Aboveground biomass (AGB) is a key indicator of crop nutrition and growth status. Accurately and timely obtaining biomass information is essential for crop yield prediction in precision management systems. Remote sensing methods play a key role in monitoring crop biomass.
