IMPROVED CLASSIFICATION MODELS TO DISTINGUISH NATURAL FROM ANTHROPIC OIL SLICKS IN THE GULF OF MEXICO: SEASONALITY AND RADARSAT-2 BEAM MODE EFFECTS UNDER A MACHINE LEARNING APPROACH

Distinguishing between natural and anthropic oil slicks is a challenging task, fire starter especially in the Gulf of Mexico, where these events can be simultaneously observed and recognized as seeps or spills.In this study, a powerful data analysis provided by machine learning (ML) methods was employed to develop, test, and implement a classificat

New strategies for the delivery of bioactives in the deeper layers of the skin have been studied in recent years, using mainly natural ingredients.Among the strategies are organogels as a promising tool to load bioactives with different physicochemical characteristics, using vegetable oils.Studies have shown satisfactory skin permeation, good physi

Scarlet eggplant (Solanum aethiopicum [L.]) is an indigenous, underutilized fruit vegetable in Africa.Preference for fruit shape and size is high among growers and consumers.Fruit metric traits are important for yield improvement.Fruit metric descriptors are important contributors to variation, phenotypic and genotypic variation, and heritability.H

Facial blushing may usually be undesirable but may have an ameliorative function for some Misc individuals under some circumstances.Researchers have studied the blush in laboratory settings, but not in daily life.In the present research, conducted with young adults, we employed for the first time an event-contingent recording method for assessing f
