Split-Window Algorithm for Land Surface Temperature Retrieval From Landsat-9 Remote Sensing Images

Land surface temperature (LST) is one of the key parameters in the process of energy exchange between the land surface and atmosphere, and thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing is an important approach to efficiently obtain LST over a large area. Algorithms for retrieval of LST from TIR remote sensing data have been studied for decades, and the split-window (SW) algorithm can directly eliminate atmospheric effects by using the brightness temperature at the top of the atmosphere in two adjacent TIR channels and thus is widely applied. Landsat-9, the latest launch in the Landsat series of satellites, provides 2-channel TIR images with the same 100m spatial resolution as Landsat-8, and it is meaningful to develop the SW algorithm for LST retrieval using Landsat-9 data. In this paper, four SW algorithms were developed, and the accuracy and noise sensitivity of the results under different observation conditions were compared based on the simulation dataset to select the algorithm with the best performance. The ground measurement data under different land cover types and the global Landsat-9 LST products, produced by the single-channel algorithm, were selected to verify the accuracy of the proposed algorithm. The results show that the ground validation accuracy is about 1.574 K, better than the Landsat-9 existing LST product. Moreover, the retrieved LST images have similar spatial distribution to the Landsat-9 LST products, with RMSEs from 0.31 K to 2.87 K in various regions.

Criminal Law Protection of Cybersecurity Considering AI-based Cybercrime

As the development of artificial intelligence (AI) is unfolding, cybersecurity faces the invasion of AI. AI-based cybercrime becomes a product of technological development, posing a threat to national security, public security, and the protection of citizens’ personal property rights and privacy rights. In particular, the derivation of cybercrime that follows the development of science and technology leads to a qualitative change in the patterns of cybercrimes, expanding the scope and depth of the harm caused by cybercrime, producing a series of impacts on the conviction rules of traditional criminal law in China. The defects such as the features of the principal offender being weakened, the definition of the responsibility for accessory to the principal offender not clear, the narrow scope applicable to one-sided accomplice are present. To this end, in the era where AI and cybercrime have deep integration, given the derivative trend of AI-based cybercrime, it is urgent to adjust the focus of criminal strategy against cybercrime. The horizontal docking of domestic substantive law and legal interpretation is performed to achieve a gradient balance between judicial interpretation and legislative amendment and adjust the criminal boundary in cybercrime evaluation, thereby changing the current high threshold of conviction in the cybercrime governance and late launch of punishment power.

Biosimilar medicines and patient registries – expectations, limitations, and opportunities

Abstract Introduction: Biology therapies in a various medical specializations and for a broad spectrum of indications were launched during last two decades. As a new in class the therapies were obliged to provide additional data re gar ding efficacy and safety after their real medical practice integration. Patient registries, databases collecting various patient data, were introduced to grant data on the treatment effectiveness, safety, and long-term on treatment survival. Satisfactory treatment effect and acceptable safety profile were confirmed after couple of years of careful observation. However, the benefits were usually offered at much higher treatment costs compared to the standard therapies. Biologically similar drugs, so-called biosimilars (B.S), are being launched after original molecule patent protection expiry during recent years. They were expected as an ideal solution to avoid distinct impact on the medical budget: comparable effect for less money. The unsubstantiated doubts about biosimilar efficacy and safety were the reason of the late launch in many markets. Since biosimilars are considered as new therapy entities, the cautiousness to certain extent should be required. Information gained from post-marketing observations and patient registries over several years, confirmed the biosimilar product comparable quality. Healthcare budget savings could secure easier therapy access for more new patients.

Modeling and Reasoning about States in Late Launch Based on Horn Clauses

Late Launch, which is a kind of dynamic measurement technology proposed by both Intel and AMD, offers isolated execution environment for codes needed to be protected. However, since the specifications and documents of Late Launch have hundreds of pages, they are too long and complicated to be fully covered and analyzed. A model based on Horn clauses is presented to solve the problem that there is a lack of realistic models and of automated tools for the verification of security protocols based on Late Launch. A running example is taken to show the execution details of Late Launch. Based on the example, secrecy properties of Late Launch are verified. Whats more, the automatic theorem proving tool ProVerif is used to make the verification more fast and accurate.

How to Justify Purchase of an iPad: Users of the Latest Launch

Contemporary technology innovation is increasingly based on convergence and the multiple uses of products. This change is detailed in the literature about new product development, as well as that on systems integration. This article focuses on the factors that determine the justification for using advanced technology products in which the perceived value of the product is not based on its functionality, as much as on its hedonistic or social value as an “all-in-one” product. In this study, consumer behaviors toward the Apple iPad are analyzed using netnographic evidence taken from internet postings by the consumers themselves. Since Apple initially marketed the iPad as a revolutionary product, with integrated services and features, our analysis concentrates on how consumers perceived these new, innovative features, in an effort to justify their purchase of the product. Our findings indicate that consumers’ justifications are based not only on the iPad’s functionality, but also its hedonic traits, and its similarity to the previously released innovative product, the iPhone.

Digital television policy in Ireland: From inception to analogue switch off

On 24 October 2012 the Republic of Ireland switched off its analogue spectrum marking a crucial juncture in its transition to a fully digital television system. After fourteen years of policy-making, the Irish state had met both its digital switchover and analogue switch off deadlines. This article will trace the long trajectory of Ireland’s transition to digital television and evaluate the state’s policy performance in the much-changed context of digital media governance. Amongst the myriad policy goals that were incorporated under the rubric of digital television policy (information society goals, network development goals, television policy goals) successive governments achieved some policy goals but not all. In Ireland the signal policy failure has been in relation to the late launch and compromised model of digital terrestrial television (DTT). Whereas there are varied factors and contexts that have shaped Ireland’s digital transition the article will trace the part played by Ireland’s negotiation of EU governance in this area and Ireland’s own state structure and its implication for policy-making at critical points in Irelands’ digital transition. The Irish state’s status as a competition state engendered a policy approach that frequently became wedged between the twin pressures of interest group manoeuvring and the EU’s evolving approach to governing state aid towards DTV.

Optimal trajectories for the impulsive deflection of near earth objects

With the current technological level it is possible to deflect an asteroid such as 99942 Apophis in case its orbit refinement reveals an unacceptable collision risk. Thanks to the solution of an ad hoc defined global optimisation problem we show that a pre-keyhole deflection is possible even with a simple spacecraft and with a very late launch in 2026. We also give a mathematical description of the trajectory optimisation problems that have to be faced in the case of a more generic asteroid deflection mission defining analytically the objective function, that is the displacement in the encounter b -plane of the asteroid uncertainty ellipsoid.
