DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR OF RANDOM NOISE IN THE SENSOR'S CHRIS-PROBA

The CHRIS sensor on the PROBA-1 satellite has imaged as push-broom way, 18 meter spatial resolution and 18 bands (1.25–11 nm) spectral resolution from earth since 2001. After 13 years of the life of the sensor because of many reasons including the influence of solar radiation and magnetic fields of Earth and Sun, behaviour of the response function of the detector exit from calibration mode and performance of some CCDs has failed. This has caused some image information in some bands have been deleted or invalid. In some images, some dark streaks or light bands in different locations need to be created to identify and correct. In this paper all type of noise which likely impact on sensor data by CHRIS from record and transmission identified, calculated and formulated and method is presented through modifying. To do this we use the In-fight and On-ground measurements parameters. Otherwise creation of noise in images is divided into horizontal and vertical noise. Due to the random noise is created in different bands and different locations, those images in which noise is observed is used. In this paper, techniques to identify and correct the dark or pale stripe detail of the images are created. Finally, the noisy images were compared before and after the reform and effective algorithms to detect and correct errors were demonstrated

Methylation of progesterone receptor isoform A promoter in normal breast tissue: An epigenetic link between early age at menarche and risk of breast cancer?

Emerging evidence indicates that some altered patterns of methylation that occur in breast tumors may also be found in breast tissue of healthy women in relation to the breast cancer (BC) risk factors. Progesterone receptor (PR) isoform α is a crucial regulator of breast hormone responsiveness and its hypermethylation plays an important role in the initiation and development of breast tumors. However, such a methylation change in healthy women and its link with the different risk factors has not yet been investigated. In the present study, we aimed to examine the relationship of possible methylation changes within a critical region in the promoter CpG island of PGR-α (progesterone receptor α) gene in the healthy women with a set of reproductive and nonreproductive BC risk factors. The breast tissues were collected from 120 cancer-free women who had undergone cosmetic mammoplasty. The genomic DNA was extracted from the breast tissues and the methylation level of PGR-α promoter CpG island was determined by using MeDIP-qPCR assay. Using regression analysis, we found that increasing menarche age is inversely associated with the high methylation of PGR-α promoter (β = �0.790, SE = 0.362; P = 0.031). Although lactating women had more methylation than nonlactating women (P = 0.026, the t test), this result was not confirmed by regression models. Such an observation may be helpful in better understanding of the underlying mechanisms by which early age at menarche increases the risk of BC. However, this perspective requires further validations in larger studies of more subjects as well as the inclusion of other related genes. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc
