    Abstract Above ground biomass has been listed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as one of the five most prominent, visible, and dynamic terrestrial carbon pools. The increased awareness of the impacts of climate change has seen a burgeoning need to consistently assess carbon stocks to combat carbon sequestration. An accurate estimation of carbon stocks and an understanding of the carbon sources and sinks can aid the improvement and accuracy of carbon flux models, an important pre-requisite of climate change impact projections. Based on 15 research topics, this book demonstrates the role of remote sensing in quantifying above ground biomass (forest, grass, woodlands) across varying spatial and temporal scales. The innovative application areas of the book include algorithm development and implementation, accuracy assessment, scaling issues (local-regional-global biomass mapping), and the integration of microwaves (id est LiDAR), along with optical sensors, forest biomass mapping, rangeland productivity and abundance (grass biomass, density, cover), bush encroachment biomass, and seasonal and long-term biomass monitoring

    Abstract In a rapidly changing world, there is an ever-increasing need to monitor the Earth’s resources and manage it sustainably for future generations. Earth observation from satellites is critical to provide information required for informed and timely decision making in this regard. Satellite-based earth observation has advanced rapidly over the last 50 years, and there is a plethora of satellite sensors imaging the Earth at finer spatial and spectral resolutions as well as high temporal resolutions. The amount of data available for any single location on the Earth is now at the petabyte-scale. An ever-increasing capacity and computing power is needed to handle such large datasets. The Google Earth Engine (GEE) is a cloud-based computing platform that was established by Google to support such data processing. This facility allows for the storage, processing and analysis of spatial data using centralized high-power computing resources, allowing scientists, researchers, hobbyists and anyone else interested in such fields to mine this data and understand the changes occurring on the Earth’s surface. This book presents research that applies the Google Earth Engine in mining, storing, retrieving and processing spatial data for a variety of applications that include vegetation monitoring, cropland mapping, ecosystem assessment, and gross primary productivity, among others. Datasets used range from coarse spatial resolution data, such as MODIS, to medium resolution datasets (Worldview -2), and the studies cover the entire globe at varying spatial and temporal scales

    Abstract Formulating an appropriate elasto-viscoplastic constitutive equation is challenging, especially for a model describing pre-yielding solid and post-yielding liquid behaviours. Oldroyds 1946 formulation was one of the first models explaining it, however, assumptions of a simple linear elastic and quasi-static deformation before yielding made his model idealistic. At the same time, the quasi-static pre-yielding deformation assumption open-up the possibility for pre-yielding viscous and plastic deformation in the absence of quasi-static conditions. Most early models followed Oldroyds pre-yielding linear elastic assumption. Here, we discuss the structural parameters based thixotropic non-linear elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model valid for reversible and irreversible thixotropic materials. In this work, we have considered non-linear elastic and plastic behaviours before yielding. Despite being a simple algebraic equation, our model explains both the viscosity plateau at low shear rates and the diverging zero shear rate viscosity, using the same parameters but different shear histories. Our model also predicts experimentally observable transient and steady-state shear banding. Furthermore, our model effectively predicts waiting-time-dependent stress overshoot during startup flow, stress hysteresis in shear ramps, sudden stepdown shear rate test results, and viscosity bifurcation phenomena. At the steady state, it reduces to either Bingham, Herschel Bulkley type, or Newtonian fluids model, depending on shear histories. Our model requires only four and five for the irreversible and reversible model, respectively, compared to six or seven parameters required by the existing model. With fewer parameters, our model favourably predicts recent experimental results. The current framework has the potential to provide a possible physical interpretation of the Bingham model.

    Abstract Regardless of progress in therapy management which are developed for colon cancer (CC), it remains the third most common cause of mortality due to cancers around the world. Conventional medicines pose side effects due to untoward action on non-target cells. Their inability to deliver drugs to the affected regions of the colon locally, in a reproducible manner raises a concern towards the efficacy of therapy. In this regard, nanoparticles emerged as a promising drug delivery system due to their flexibility in designing, drug release modulation and cancer cell targeting. Not only are nanoparticles making their way into colon cancer research in the revolution of conventional onco-therapeutics, but they also offer promising scope in the development of colon cancer vaccines and theranostic tools. However, there are challenges with respect to drug delivery using nanoparticles, which may hamper the delivery of these novel carriers to the colon. The present review addresses recent advents in nanotechnology for colon-specific drug delivery (CDDS) which may help to overcome the existing challenges and intends to recognize futuristic potentials in the treatment of CC with CDDS.

    Abstract Meta-analysis is a study design that assesses previous research quantitatively and arrives at a conclusion for a research question; that outcome or conclusion is considered strong enough to be kept in an apex position in the hierarchy of evidence. Meta-analysis is found to be a hurdle for most novice researchers due to complex statistical procedures and the availability of unbiased published literature globally. The lack of accurate theoretical background also adds to the aforementioned complexity. This paper tries to portray a simple, practical outline about meta-analysis, justification for using this design, other essential aspects concerned and methods to be used. Literature relevant to the topic published within ten years in prominent journals and websites has been reviewed thoroughly while writing this paper. Keywords used for literature search were; ‘Meta-analysis’, ‘systematic review’, ‘Meta-analysis research design’ and ‘Meta-analysis framework’. The search was carried out after applying appropriate Boolean operators. Thoroughly and rigorously conducted meta-analysis is valid and has the potential of decision making in evidence-based medicine practice as it provides a more precise and cumulative estimate of the effect of a treatment/intervention, risk factor for a disease and or efficacy of drugs. The necessity to inculcate results or findings from numerous research studies makes it clear that meta-analysis as a research design is desirable in the field of medicine.

    Abstract Motor kinematics decoding (MKD) using brain signal is essential to develop Brain-computer interface (BCI) system for rehabilitation or prosthesis devices. Surface electroencephalogram (EEG) signal has been widely utilized for MKD. However, kinematic decoding from cortical sources is sparsely explored. In this work, the feasibility of hand kinematics decoding using EEG cortical source signals has been explored for grasp and lift task. In particular, pre-movement EEG segment is utilized. A residual convolutional neural network (CNN) - long short-term memory (LSTM) based kinematics decoding model is proposed that utilizes motor neural information present in pre-movement brain activity. Various EEG windows at 50 ms prior to movement onset, are utilized for hand kinematics decoding. Correlation value (CV) between actual and predicted hand kinematics is utilized as performance metric for source and sensor domain. The performance of the proposed deep learning model is compared in sensor and source domain. The results demonstrate the viability of hand kinematics decoding using pre-movement EEG cortical source data.
