Interannual persistence effects in vegetation dynamics of semi-arid Africa
2005
[1] Over 15 years of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometers (AVHRR) are used to study the response of vegetation activity to rainfall in three semi-arid regions of Africa. The relationships between annual NDVI and annual precipitation (PPT) time series are examined using statistical approaches (simple and partial correlations, linear multiple regressions). It appears that annual NDVI highly depends on PPT of the concurrent year and the previous year. An analysis of particularly dry and wet years enables to better diagnose two distinct responses of vegetation activity to rainfall. The “recovery” effect represents the difficulty o…
Temperamentos afectivos y edad de inicio en pacientes bipolares tipo II
2016
Actualmente es imperante contar con indicadores que posibiliten realizar una detección temprana y correcta del trastorno bipolar en general, y del tipo II, en particular. Los temperamentos afectivos constituyen estilos de reactividad emocional temporalmente estables a lo largo del ciclo vital, con una importante base biológica. Dada la escasez de investigaciones al respecto, se exploraron posibles asociaciones entre la edad de inicio de 32 pacientes eutímicos con diagnóstico de trastorno bipolar tipo II y los temperamentos afectivos ciclotímico, depresivo, irritable, ansioso e hipertímico. Los participantes presentaron una edad media de 51,5 años (rango intercuartil 8) y el 65,6% de la mues…

Intuitive eating: A novel eating style? Evidence from a Spanish sample
2020
Contains fulltext : 217000.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Intuitive eating is defined as an adaptive way of eating that maintains a strong connection with the internal physiological signs of hunger and satiety. It has four elements: unconditional permission to eat whenever and whatever food is desired, eating for physical rather than for emotional reasons, reliance on hunger and satiety cues to determine when and how much to eat, and body-food choice congruence. In this study, we assessed the differences and similarities between intuitive eating, as measured with the Intuitive Eating Scale-2, and eating styles (restrained, emotional, and external eating), as assessed with the Du…
Dominating Clasp of the Financial Sector Revealed by Partial Correlation Analysis of the Stock Market
2010
What are the dominant stocks which drive the correlations present among stocks traded in a stock market? Can a correlation analysis provide an answer to this question? In the past, correlation based networks have been proposed as a tool to uncover the underlying backbone of the market. Correlation based networks represent the stocks and their relationships, which are then investigated using different network theory methodologies. Here we introduce a new concept to tackle the above question--the partial correlation network. Partial correlation is a measure of how the correlation between two variables, e.g., stock returns, is affected by a third variable. By using it we define a proxy of stoc…
Two-particle correlations in pp, (p)over-bar(p)over-bar and (KSKS0)-K-0 pairs from hadronic Z decays
2005
Two-particle correlations in pp, and pairs have been studied in hadronic Z decays recorded at LEP with the ALEPH detector. The correlations were measured as a function of the four-momentum difference Q of the pair. For pp, pairs a depletion of events is observed in the region , and for pairs an enhancement of events is observed in the region . These features are consistent with expectations from Fermi–Dirac and Bose–Einstein statistics, respectively.
Denoising AVIRIS-NG Data for Generation of New Chlorophyll Indices
2021
The availability of Airborne Visible and Infrared Imaging Spectrometer-Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) data has enormous possibilities for quantification of Leaf Chlorophyll Content (LCC). The present study used the AVIRIS-NG campaign site of Western India for generation and validation of new chlorophyll indices by denoising the AVIRIS-NG data. For validation, concurrent to AVIRIS-NG flight overpass, field samplings were performed. The acquired AVIRIS-NG was subjected to Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM) classifier for discriminating the crop types. Three smoothing techniques i.e., Fast-Fourier Transform (FFT), Mean and Savitzky-Golay filters were evaluated for their denoising capability. Raw and fil…
Evaluation of Erythema Severity in Dermatoscopic Images of Canine Skin: Erythema Index Assessment and Image Sampling Reliability.
2021
The regular monitoring of erythema, one of the most important skin lesions in atopic (allergic) dogs, is essential for successful anti-allergic therapy. The smartphone-based dermatoscopy enables a convenient way to acquire quality images of erythematous skin. However, the image sampling to evaluate erythema severity is still done manually, introducing result variability. In this study, we investigated the correlation between the most popular erythema indices (EIs) and dermatologists’ erythema perception, and we measured intra- and inter-rater variability of the currently-used manual image-sampling methods (ISMs). We showed that the EIBRG, based on all three RGB (red, green, and blue) channe…
