Multitask Learning Mechanism for Remote Sensing Image Motion Deblurring

As a fundamental preprocessing technique, remote sensing image motion deblurring is important for visual understanding tasks. Most conventional approaches formulate the image motion deblurring task as a kernel estimation. Because the kernel...

A Terrain-Feature-Aware Multiscale PTD for Airborne LiDAR Ground Filtering

Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) has become an indispensable tool for earth observation, supporting applications such as digital terrain modeling, environmental monitoring, and geohazard assessment. A fundamental challenge in Li...

Fundamentals of Geophysics

Equations of State of Solids for Geophysics and Ceramic Science

Abstract Written by a renowned expert in the field, this book is the most comprehensive treatment available on the applications of equations of state (EoS) in geophysics and materials science, a topic of fundamental importance to those stud...

Fractals and Chaos in Geology and Geophysics

The fundamental concepts of fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics, along with the related concepts of multifractals, self-similar time series, wavelets, and self-organised criticality, are introduced in this book, for a broad range of reade...

Fundamentals of Geophysics

Choosing an intermediate‐level geophysics text is always problematic: What should we teach students after they have had introductory courses in geology, math, and physics, but little else? Fundamentals of Geophysics is aimed specifically at...

Fundamentals of Geophysics

This second edition of Fundamentals of Geophysics has been completely revised and updated, and is the ideal geophysics textbook for undergraduate students of geoscience with an introductory level of knowledge in physics and mathematics. It ...

Fundamentals of Plant Science

AGRICULTURE AND PLANT SCIENCE INNOVATIONS

Agriculture and Plant Science Innovations is a comprehensive and forward-looking resource that bridges traditional agricultural knowledge with modern scientific advancements. This book is designed to provide readers with a deep understandin...

The Language of Plants: Science, Philosophy, Literature

Plants are perhaps the most fundamental form of life, providing sustenance, and thus enabling the existence of all animals, including us humans. Their evolutionary transition from Paleozoic aquatic beginnings to a vegetative life out of wat...

Biostimulants in Plant Science

Natural-based substances, ‘plant biostimulants’, have been considered as environmentally friendly alternatives to agrichemicals. Biostimulants may comprise microbial inoculants, humic acids, fulvic acids, seaweed extracts, etc. These biosti...

Photosynthetic Research in Plant Science

Photosynthesis is a highly regulated, multistep process. It encompasses the harvest of solar energy, transfer of excitation energy, energy conversion, electron transfer from water to NADP+, ATP generation and a series of enzymatic reactions...

Facilitated charge separation in non-covalent NiO–UPDI donor–acceptor composite for efficient photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin

Efficient charge separation remains a central challenge in achieving the deep mineralization of organic pollutants via photocatalysis. Herein, we report a nickel oxide isintegrated with urea-perylene diimide (NiO–UPDI) photocatalyst with a ...

Biostimulants in Plant Science: A Global Perspective

This review presents a comprehensive and systematic study of the field of plant biostimulants and considers the fundamental and innovative principles underlying this technology. The elucidation of the biological basis of biostimulant functi...

Third-order harmonic currents suppression method based on selective component compensation for cascaded H-bridge STATCOM under asymmetric grid

To achieve low cost and compactness, small dc capacitance in dc-link is preferred in the cascaded H-bridge (CHB) static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). However, small dc capacitance will definitely result in high dc-link ripples among th...

The role of feedback in supporting trainees who underperform in clinical environments

IntroductionUnderperformance in clinical environments can be costly and emotional for all stakeholders. Feedback is an important pedagogical strategy for working with underperformance – both formal and informal strategies can make a differe...

The Model of Righteous Governance in the Qur’anic Interpretation of Imam Musa al-Sadr

In the contemporary world, where societies encounter extensive cultural, religious, and ethnic diversity, the issue of righteous governance and the attainment of an efficient model for managing such diversity constitutes one of the fundamen...

A Qur’anic Model of National Security Based on the Principle of Nafy al-Sabil: An Explanation of Its Components and Functions

The principle of Nafy al-Sabil (“denial of domination”) is regarded as one of the fundamental jurisprudential and Qur’anic principles and constitutes an important theoretical foundation for explaining relations between Muslims and other com...

Postmodernism and Rethinking the Concept of Crime

Defining the concept of crime is the starting point in the criminal thought. Basically, any view taken on the concept of crime formulates the other fundamental criminological concepts (such as the criminal and etiology) as well as basic con...
