Factual approach for tropical forest parameters measurement and monitoring: future option with a focus on synergetic use of airborne and terrestrial lidar technologies by Bazezew, Muluken N., Hussin, Yousif A., Kloosterman, Evert H., M. Hasmadi, Ismail

“…To overcome this challenge incurred due to the complex biophysical properties of tropical forests, Airborne and Terrestrial LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technologies have been used combinedly. Airborne LiDAR data ‘from above’ are largely restricted to analyses of lower canopy layer trees. …”

UV/EB curing of epoxy-based composites Epiclon HP-820 and Epolam 5015 by Seah, Javien Jin Ping.

Linear A libation tables : a semitic connection explored by Eu Min, Niki Cassandra, Perono Cacciafoco, Francesco, Cavallaro, Francesco Paolo

“…Attempts to decipher the writing system have been unsuccessful for several reasons. Unlike the Linear B language (Mycenaean Greek), Minoan, the language hidden behind Linear A and still undeciphered, bears no apparent similarity to Greek, and any ‘translation’ of Linear A based provisionally on Linear B phonetic values has not produced any tangible result. …”

Dynamic trapping and manipulation of biological cells with optical tweezers by Sun, Dong, Hu, Songyu., Cheah, Chien Chern, Li, Xiang

“…Current control techniques for optical tweezers work only when the cell is located in a small neighbourhood around the centroid of the focused light beam. Therefore, the optical trapping fails when the cell is initially located far away from the laser beam or escapes from the optical trap during manipulation. …”
