Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based remote sensing has limitations in acquiring images before a forest fire, although burn severity can be analyzed by comparing and after fire. Determining the burned surface area is challenging class analysis of because it looks unburned from aircraft or satellites. This study analyzes availability multispectral UAV that used to classify severity, including class. RedEdge image was acquired which then processed into mosaic reflectance image. Hundreds samples...

Bacterial cell-to-cell communication, termed quorum sensing (QS), controls bacterial behavior by using various signal molecules. Despite the fact that LuxS/autoinducer-2 (AI-2) QS system is necessary for normal expression of Salmonella pathogenicity island-1 (SPI-1), mechanism remains unknown. Here, we report LsrR protein, a transcriptional regulator known to be involved in LuxS/AI-2-mediated QS, also associated with regulation SPI-1-mediated virulence. We determined negatively SPI-1 and...

Abstract The rapid spread of COVID-19 has emphasized the need for effective health communications to coordinate individual behavior and mitigate disease transmission. Facing a pandemic, individuals may be driven adopt public recommendations based on both self-interested desires protect oneself prosocial others. Although messages can framed around either, existing research from social sciences offered mixed evidence regarding their relative efficacy. Informing this dialogue, in current study...

The rapid spread of COVID-19 has emphasized the need for effective health communications to coordinate individual behavior and mitigate disease transmission. Facing a pandemic, individuals may be driven adopt public recommendations based on both self-interested desires protect oneself prosocial others. Although messages can framed around either, existing research from social sciences offered mixed evidence regarding their relative efficacy. Informing this dialogue, in current study we report...

This study provides an assessment of dominant drivers deforestation and forest degradation across 29 REDD+ participant countries total funds disbursed from the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility to 15 since they signed their respective Readiness Preparation Proposals (R-PPs), as well what spent grants on. aims provide information for policymakers donors on need invest in REDD+, channel key activities effectively efficiently implementing REDD+. The is based countries’ R-PPs FCPF readiness...

Despite its relatively brief history, cryptocurrency has already had a profound impact on the economy, with some predicting that it will eventually replace traditional fiat currencies. Historically, dark associations illegal activities in early days, although perceptions and likely have, recent years, changed for better. Thus, understanding how people perceive morality of currently forms motivation current research. We, particular, examine dependent political ideology. Across both...

Smoke from forest fires is a growing concern in Korea as structures have changed and become more vulnerable to associated with climate change. In this study, we developed Korean fire smoke dispersion prediction (KFSDP) system support management Korea. The KFSDP integrates modules different models, including growth model, grid-based geographic information (GIS) fuel loading consumption maps generated by national inventory data, the Weather Research Forecasting Model, into Gaussian plume model...

High-resolution unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) multi-spectral sensor images can provide valuable information for mapping forest areas that have recently been burned.In this study, we investigate the use of captured with a UAV to evaluate burn severity in affected by fires Gumi-si, South Korea.Fire classification was performed using two supervised learning algorithms, maximum likelihood (ML) and spectral angle mapper (SAM).Three indices, namely, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI),...

The goal of this research is to study why consumers might fail experience regret after unhealthy consumption. Specifically, we examine how anticipated before the consumption and experienced differ. We find that immediate postconsumption tends be less intense than regret. additionally delayed These effects are stronger for people with self-control goals. results suggest "cold" assessments based on discrepancy between goals behaviors, whereas a "hot" emotional experience. Negative arousal...

Why do so many North Korean women resort to leaving their children born in China and resettle alone South Korea?What survival strategies have they employed?And what conditions contribute them becoming transnational mothers?To answer, this article explores the status of border-crossers China, influence one-child policy industrialization on Koreans' gendered migration, China's hukou household registration system.Drawing ethnographic research, argues that mothers' migration kinship are grounded...

South Korea has abundant forest resources capable of supplying the domestic wood demand. Despite extensive resources, there is continued uncertainty about nature, quantity, and quality timber contained in any particular forested area. Additionally, some technical, logistic, economic challenges act as barriers to expansion utilization. To overcome these limitations enhance utilization Korea, this study investigated optimal location potential industry clusters. The availability was estimated...

Numerical precision – unusually precise or sharp numbers can trigger heuristic processing and influence judgments. triggers because it causes computational difficulty encoding difficulty. The authors propose that the discrepancy attribution model offer a parsimonious explanation for effects of numerical on everyday

This article examines the gendered and sexualized contours of North Korean experiences in South Korea at a time when nearly 70% emigrants are women. television shows – e.g. reality programs marriage matchmaking organizations seek to portray women ‘positive’ way public, although, as this will illustrate, these representations very particular, kind. These sometimes negative, there is stigma attached women, which Koreans assume, for example, that they victims human trafficking or have had...

Sulfur mustard (SM) is an alkylating agent, which has been used as in chemical warfare a number of conflicts. As the generation reactive oxygen species (ROS), and adducts DNA proteins have suggested mechanism underlying SM‑induced cytotoxicity, present study screened several antioxidant candidates, including tannic acid, deferoxamine mesylate, trolox, vitamin C, ellagic acid caffeic (CA) to assess their potential therapeutic agents for cell death. Among antioxidants, CA partially alleviated...

With the recognition of climate change effects on water resources, demand for better stream management has increased in an effort to enhance overall resources management. While various efforts have been carried out management, role small upper streams forests becomes more and highlighted due its significant importance modeling hydrological processes as well controlling non-point source pollution. One problems managing is lack reliable maps or mapping methods, particularly applicable dense...
