Deep Learning for Earth Observation Using Satellite Imagery: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Earth observation (EO) satellites provide continuous, large-scale information about the Earth's land, oceans, atmosphere, vegetation, infrastructure, and environmental conditions. The rapid growth of multispectral, hyperspectral, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), thermal, and high- resolution satellite missions has generated large volumes of heterogeneous spatial and temporal data. Conventional image-processing and machine-learning techniques often require manually designed features and may have difficulty representing the complex spatial, spectral, temporal, and multimodal characteristics of satellite …

Cause of climate change and issues in uttrakhand
Abstract: Uttarakhand is experiencing a surge in average temperatures and a significant shift in precipitation regime, causing significant changes in the duration, amount, and form of atmospheric precipitation. The region's shorter snowfall season is believed to be responsible for decreased water supply, leading to water scarcity. The shift in plant blossoming and fruiting has also led to a shift in traditional life support activities, resulting in decreased agricultural productivity, increased pest …

Current guidelines for Covid-19 and people living with HIV/AIDS-A Review
Abstract: There is an extraordinary worry about the effect of COVID-19 (Corona virus disease-2019) among the almost 40 million people living with HIV (PLWH) around the world. Having HIV (Human immune deficiency virus) doesn’t present assurance against serious appearances of COVID-19. A few drug trials/investigations looking at antiretroviral drugs against HIV to treat SARS-CoV-2 have shown no mortality advantage. Subsequently, there is no sign to change antiretroviral treatment (ART) regimens among …

Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Insect Behavior
Abstract: Climate change is a major source of concern across the globe. It is being fueled by an increase in global mean temperature, an increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration, and an irregular shift in yearly precipitation. This will have a significant impact on the distribution, abundance, ecology, and behaviour of all species, and specifically insects, which are poikilothermic in nature. Insects will go through multiple life cycles as a result of …
