Conductive Polymer Nanocomposites for Wearable Cardiac Monitoring Devices
Abstract: Wearable cardiac monitoring devices are increasingly important tools for non-invasive, continuous assessment of cardiac health. Their growth is driven by increases in the incidence of arrhythmias and by a great demand for remote monitoring. This is changing with the use of conductive polymer nanocomposites (CPNCs). They combine physical properties of mechanical flexibility, high electrical conductivity, and good biocompatibility resulting in high precision, and comfortable sensing. CPNCs combine conductive polymers with …

Review of Agriculture Water Conservation Using Remote Sensing
Abstract: The operational usage of irrigation depending on frequent multi-spectral imaging data is supported by the experiences accumulated over the previous 30 years. The operational application of dense time - series data of multispectral imaging at high spatial resolution currently enables monitoring of agricultural biophysical parameters, recording crop water usage throughout the growing season, with adequate temporal and spatial resolutions. These developments enable precise estimates of agricultural water requirements with previously …

Potential Site Suitability Analysis for Wind Farm Development Using GIS and Multi-Criteria Analysis
Abstract: The energy consumption of most developing countries like Ethiopia highly depends on biomass and imported fuels. These sources of energy have imposed severe impacts on the environment.Recently, Ethiopia has begun to harness electricity from renewable energies mainly from hydro- dams to meet its energy need. However, the existing energy production of the hydro-dams declines during dry season due to shortage of river waters. So, it is important to look for …

Correlation Between Tree Diversity and Spectral Variables of Sentinel-2 Images: A Study of Langtang National Park, Nepal
Abstract: This study was objectively conducted to explore the tree diversity of Langtang National Park (LNP), Nepal and show the correlation between spectral variables and tree biodiversity. Sentinel-2 MSI of LNP in Nepal was acquired from https://scihub.copernicus.eu/. Total 60 samples were collected from forest. Pearson correlation was established to show relationship between tree species diversity and reflectance values. Bagging LASSO algorithm was used to validate the model. Result shows that Shannon-Weiner …

Integrated Geospatial Technology for Appraising Surface Temperature and Forest Biomass in Context to Conducive Tiger Habitats in Sariska Wildlife Reserve, India
Abstract: Sariska Wildlife Reserve of Rajasthan (India) is an excellent wildlife habitat, but due to improper conservation, anthropogenic activities and human-wildlife conflicts, the number of tigers started dwindling in the middle 1990s and completely disappeared during 2005. The forest temperature and forest biomass are vital parameters in several forest-related issues and has an apparent relationship to wildlife habitat and conservation strategies. Satellite remote sensing data being the best possible way for …

Flavonoids Attenuate Airway Mucin Expression, Production and Secretion Induced by Various Inducers
Abstract: Muco-obstructive respiratory disease is caused by changing normal biophysical properties of mucus including alteration of mucin concentration, ion composition and airway surface hydration. Flavonoids are one type of polyphenols which regulate mucin gene expression and consequently inhibit mucus secretion. Thus, this review aimed to discuss the effects of different flavonoids on regulation of various airways mucin gene expression and inhibition of the production of a major airway mucin core protein …
