    Abstract Subunit vaccines provide a safe, focused alternative to conventional vaccines. However, these vaccines often require significant adjuvants and are particularly hard to target toward cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) immunity. Viruslike particles (VLPs) provide biomaterial scaffolds with pathogen-like polyvalent structures making them useful platforms for biomimetic antigen delivery to the immune system. Encapsidation of antigens within VLPs has been shown to enhance antigen availability for CD8 T cell responses. Here, we examine the potential to generate complex responses to multiple subunit antigens localized within the same VLP particle. Two proteins of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) with well-characterized CD8 T cell responses, the matrix (M) and matrix 2 (M2) proteins, were successfully coencapsidated within the P22 VLP. Upon intranasal administration in mice, the particles stimulated CD8 T cell memory responses against both antigens. In addition, vaccination elicited tissue-resident T cell populations. Upon subsequent RSV challenge, P22-M/M2-treated mice displayed significantly reduced lung viral titers. This demonstrates the utility of the P22 VLP in directing immune responses to multiple encapsidated viral antigens, demonstrating the potential of this technology to facilitate immunity to multiple targets simultaneously.

  2. Article: Towards automated 10–30 m resolution land cover mapping in insular South-East Asia

    Abstract In this study, we create and critically analyse an automated decision tree classification approach for regional level land cover mapping in insular South-East Asian conditions, using a combination of 10–30 m resolution optical and radar data. The resulting map contains 11 land cover classes and reveals a great deal of contextual information due to high spatial resolution. A limited accuracy assessment indicates 59–97% class wise accuracies. The unprecedented spatial detail of closed canopy oil palm mapping (with user’s accuracy of 90%) is seen as the most promising feature of the mapping approach. The incapability of separating primary forests from other tree cover, and the large variety of different landscapes (e.g. home gardens and tea plantations) classified as shrubland, are considered the main areas for future improvement. Overall, the study demonstrates the great potential of multi-source 10–30 m resolution high data volume land cover mapping approaches in insular South-East Asian conditions.

  3. Article: 2015 Land cover map of Southeast Asia at 250 m spatial resolution

    Abstract In this letter, we present the methodology and accuracy assessment results of a new 250 m spatial resolution land cover map of Southeast Asia (covering Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Vietnam). The map is based on semi-automated classification of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer data (acquired January to November 2015) supported by various auxiliary data sets. The classification scheme with 18 land cover classes reflects the characteristics of land cover in Southeast Asia and aims to provide useful input for various regional-level analyses requiring information on land cover distribution. The accuracy of the map is assessed separately for the seasonal (north of 9° N) and humid (south of 9° N) parts of the region, reaching 82% and 86% overall accuracies respectively. The map will be made available at: https://ormt-crisp.nus.edu.sg/ormt/Home/Disclaimer

    Abstract: ... a Unified Cropland Layer that combines the fittest products into a 250 m global cropland map was assembled ...

    Abstract Accurate and timely information on the global cropland extent is critical for food security monitoring, water management and earth system modeling. Principally, it allows for analyzing satellite image time-series to assess the crop conditions and permits isolation of the agricultural component to focus on food security and impacts of various climatic scenarios. However, despite its critical importance, accurate information on the spatial extent, cropland mapping with remote sensing imagery remains a major challenge. Following an exhaustive identification and collection of existing land cover maps, a multi-criteria analysis was designed at the country level to evaluate the fitness of a cropland map with regards to four dimensions: its timeliness, its legend, its resolution adequacy and its confidence level. As a result, a Unified Cropland Layer that combines the fittest products into a 250 m global cropland map was assembled. With an evaluated accuracy ranging from 82% to 95%, the Unified Cropland Layer successfully improved the accuracy compared to single global products.

  6. Article: Remote sensing of forest degradation in Southeast Asia—Aiming for a regional view through 5–30 m satellite data

    Abstract: ... forest degradation monitoring with satellite remote sensing data at high to medium spatial resolution (5–30 m ...

    Abstract In this review paper we present geographical, ecological and historical aspects of Southeast Asia from the perspective of forest degradation monitoring and critically discuss available approaches for large area forest degradation monitoring with satellite remote sensing data at high to medium spatial resolution (5–30 m). Several authors have achieved promising results in geographically limited areas within Southeast Asia using automated detection algorithms. However, the application of automated methods to large area assessments remains a major challenge. To-date, nearly all large area assessments of forest degradation in the region have included a strong visual interpretation component. We conclude that due to the variety of forest types and forest disturbance levels, as well as the variable image acquisition conditions in Southeast Asia, it is unlikely that forest degradation monitoring can be conducted throughout the region using a single automated approach with currently available remote sensing data. The provision of regionally consistent information on forest degradation from satellite remote sensing data remains therefore challenging. However, the expected increase in observation frequency in the near future (due to Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 satellites) may lead to the desired improvement in data availability and enable consistent and robust regional forest degradation monitoring in Southeast Asia.

    Abstract Microorganisms in flotation and minerals processing may significantly affect the grade and yield of metal concentrates. However, studying the phenomena requires working techniques to detach microorganisms and their DNA from mineral particles to which they strongly adhere. We developed a new method utilizing the competitive properties of anionic nanocellulose to block sorption of DNA to and detach microbial cells from mineral particles from ore processing.
