Abstract:
Accurate fire severity maps are fundamental to the management of flammable landscapes. Severity mapping methods have been developed and tested for wildfire, but need further refinement for prescribed fire. We evaluated the accuracy of two severity mapping methods for a low-intensity, patchy prescribed fire in a south-eastern Australian eucalypt forest: (1) the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) derived from RapidEye satellite imagery, and (2) PHOENIX RapidFire, a fire-spread simulation model. We used each method to generate a fire severity map (four-category: unburnt, low, moderate

Abstract:
Preeclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure, potentially leading to organ damage, making early risk prediction crucial to reducing maternal morbidity and mortality. This study aims to develop a preeclampsia risk prediction model using medical and clinical data from 80 patients at Rumah Bersalin Sadan. The data include demographic profiles, blood pressure, weight, maternal age, preeclampsia history, body mass index, number of previous pregnancies, as well as genetic and environmental factors. The dependent variable is the risk of preeclampsia, either as

This paper investigates the efficacy of an AI-powered Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system in enhancing officiating accuracy, efficiency, and consistency in team sports. Employing a combination of artificial intelligence and computer vision, the system was tested in a local championship in Almaty, involving eight football teams. Through the analysis of decision-making accuracy, time efficiency, and consistency across officiating scenarios, the study employed chi-squared tests, paired t-tests, and Cohen's Kappa statistics to quantitatively assess improvements over traditional VAR systems.

Abstract Sleep staging is an important basis for diagnosing sleep-related problems. In this paper, an attention based convolutional network for automatic sleep staging is proposed. The network takes time-frequency image as input and predict sleep stage for each 30-s epoch as output. For each CNN feature maps, our model generate attention maps along two separate dimensions, time and filter, and then multiplied to form the final attention map. Residual-like fusion structure is used to append the attention map to the input feature map for adaptive feature refinement. In addition, to get the globa

Bare permafrost refers to permafrost with almost no vegetation on the surface, which is an essential part of the ecosystem of the Tibetan Plateau. An accurate extraction of the boundaries of bare permafrost is vital for studying how it is being impacted by climate change. The accuracy of permafrost and bare land distribution maps is inadequate, and the spatial and temporal resolution is low. This is due to the challenges associated with obtaining significant amounts of data in high-altitude and alpine regions and the limitations of current mapping techniques in effectively integrating multiple
