A Survey on the Applications of Convolutional Neural Networks for Synthetic Aperture Radar: Recent Advances

Abstract—In recent years, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have drawn considerable attention for the analysis of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. In this study, major subareas of SAR data analysis that have been tackled by CNNs are systematically reviewed, such as automatic target recognition, land use and land cover classification, segmentation, change detection, object detection and image denoising. Special emphasis has been given to practical techniques such as data augmentation and transfer learning. Complex-valued CNNs, which have been introduced to exploit phase information embedded in SAR complex images, have also been extensively reviewed. To conclude this review paper, open challenges and future research directions are highlighted

An overview of Mike Moravcsik's publication activity in physics

Todorov R, Winterhager M. An overview of Mike Moravcsik's publication activity in physics. Scientometrics. 1991;20(1):163-172.A bibliometric online technique is applied on data from the INSPEC bibliographic file to describe some aspects of Moravcsik's publication activity (co-authorship, source journals, etc.). Separately, a co-occurrence method is used to represent the subject structure (the main topics and their links) of his papers in physics. The principle underlying this method is to develop a network based on common appearances of classification subdivisions (headings) as well as of controlled terms in Moravcsik's document records. The results, in the form of line and point graphs, give a global picture of Mike Moravcsik's research profile in physics

The Lagomorphs: rabbits, hares, and pika

Rabbits, hares, and pika have all been implicated in causing damage to trees in the Pacific Northwest Damage is generally to seedlings, limbs, and saplings smaller than 2 5 inches in diameter, with damage involving either clipping of the stem or bark removal as the lagomorphs are feeding Damage prevention methods include synthetic or biological repellents, exclusion (individual seedling protectors or fencing), or lethal control methods such as poisoning or shooting Silvicultural methods useful in reducing lagomorph damage include vegetation management, thinning, fertilization, and selection of browsing-resistant seedling size
