    Description: Multispectral imaging (MSI) is widely used in terrestrial applications to help increase the discriminability between objects of interest. While MSI has shown potential for underwater geological and biological surveys, it is thus far rarely applied underwater. This is primarily due to the fact light propagation in water is subject to wavelength dependent attenuation and tough working conditions in the deep ocean. In this paper, a novel underwater MSI system based on a tunable light source is presented which employs a monochrome still image camera with flashing, pressure neutral color LEDs. Laboratory experiments and field tests were performed. Results from the lab experiments show an improvement of 76.66% on discriminating colors on a checkerboard by using the proposed imaging system over the use of an RGB camera. The field tests provided in situ MSI observations of pelagic fauna, and showed the first evidence that the system is capable of acquiring useful imagery under real marine conditions.

    Description: The main goal of cruise MSM61 was to install an autonomous multidisciplinary observatory at the summit of Senghor Seamount off the Cape Verdean archipelago. A suite of different mobile and moored instrument platforms equipped with physical, biological and biogeochemical instruments was deployed during the cruise in order to investigate spatio-temporal variability of physical and biogeochemical conditions and how these affect the local ecosystem at this openocean seamount. The research program further included hydrographic work, biological and biogeochemical sampling as well as video transects in the meso- and bathypelagic zones both at Senghor Seamount and at the Cape Verde Ocean Observatory (CVOO).

    Description: Lipid accumulation of kidney is a threat to renal physiological function of diabetes. The previous studies on diabetic nephropathy have demonstrated that activated Akt was involved in renal lipogenesis through enhancing transcription factor SREBP-1. PRAS40 is one of the downstream targets of activated Akt that was reported to involve in lipid metabolism in hepatic cells. However, it is still not clear whether PRAS40 is also involved in the renal lipogenesis of diabetes. Our study revealed that phosphorylation of PRAS40-Thr246 known as inactivated style increased in renal tubular cells of diabetic rats accompanied with over-expression of phospho-Akt, SREBP-1 and ADRP. In addition, in vitro experiment also found that high glucose enhanced expression of phospho-PRAS40-Thr246 followed by increased SREBP-1 and lipid droplets in HKC cells. After treated with LY294002, high glucose-induced HKC cells showed decreased phospho-PRAS40-Thr246, phospho-Akt-Ser473 and SREBP-1. Furthermore, wild type PRAS40 vector-caused increased phospho-PRAS40-Thr246 exaggerated lipid deposits in high glucose-treated HKC cells, which was effectively prevented in cells transfected with mutant PRAS40 vector (T246A). These above data suggested that phosphorylation of PRAS40-Thr246 mediated abnormal lipid metabolism in kidney of diabetes and might be the potential target for treating lipogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.

    Description: The cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa builds up bioherms that sustain high biodiversity in the deep ocean worldwide. Photographic monitoring of the polyp activity represents a helpful tool to characterize the health status of the corals and to assess anthropogenic impacts on the microhabitat. Discriminating active polyps from skeletons of white Lophelia pertusa is usually time-consuming and error-prone due to their similarity in color in common RGB camera footage. Acquisition of finer resolved spectral information might increase the contrast between the segments of polyps and skeletons, and therefore could support automated classification and accurate activity estimation of polyps. For recording the needed footage, underwater multispectral imaging systems can be used, but they are often expensive and bulky. Here we present results of a new, light-weight, compact and low-cost deep-sea tunable LED-based underwater multispectral imaging system (TuLUMIS) with eight spectral channels. A brunch of healthy white Lophelia pertusa was observed under controlled conditions in a laboratory tank. Spectral reflectance signatures were extracted from pixels of polyps and skeletons of the observed coral. Results showed that the polyps can be better distinguished from the skeleton by analysis of the eight-dimensional spectral reflectance signatures compared to three-channel RGB data. During a 72-hour monitoring of the coral with a half-hour temporal resolution in the lab, the polyp activity was estimated based on the results of the multispectral pixel classification using a support vector machine (SVM) approach. The computational estimated polyp activity was consistent with that of the manual annotation, which yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.957.

    Description: To estimate the surface air temperature by remote sensing, the advection-energy balance for the surface air temperature (ADEBAT) model is developed which assumes the surface air temperature is driven by the local driving force and the advective driving force. The local driving force produces a local surface air temperature whereas the advective driving force changes it by adding an exotic air temperature. An advection factor is defined to measure the quantity of the exotic air brought by the advection. Since the is determined by the advection, this paper improves it to a regional scale by using the Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) method whereas the original ADEBAT model uses a constant of for a block of area. Results retrieved by the improved ADEBAT (IADEBAT) model are evaluated and comparison was made with the in situ measurements, with an (correlation coefficient) of 0.77, an RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) of 0.31 K, and a MAE (Mean Absolute Error) of 0.24 K. The evaluation shows that the IADEBAT model has higher accuracy than the original ADEBAT model. Evaluations together with a -test of the MAD (Mean Absolute Deviation) reveal that the IADEBAT model has a significant improvement.

    Description: Evapotranspiration (ET) is an essential part of the hydrological cycle and accurately estimating it plays a crucial role in water resource management. Surface energy balance (SEB) models are widely used to estimate regional ET with remote sensing. The presence of horizontal advection, however, perturbs the surface energy balance system and contributes to the uncertainty of energy influxes. Thus, it is vital to consider horizontal advection when applying SEB models to estimate ET. This study proposes an innovative and simplified approach, the surface energy balance-advection (SEB-A) method, which is based on the energy balance theory and also takes into account the horizontal advection to determine ET by remote sensing. The SEB-A method considers that the actual ET consists of two parts: the local ET that is regulated by the energy balance system and the exotic ET that arises from horizontal advection. To evaluate the SEB-A method, it was applied to the middle region of the Heihe River in China. Instantaneous ET for three days were acquired and assessed with ET measurements from eddy covariance (EC) systems. The results demonstrated that the ET estimates had a high accuracy, with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.713, a mean average error (MAE) of 39.3 W/m2 and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 54.6 W/m2 between the estimates and corresponding measurements. Percent error was calculated to more rigorously assess the accuracy of these estimates, and it ranged from 0% to 35%, with over 80% of the locations within a 20% error. To better understand the SEB-A method, the relationship between the ET estimates and land use types was analyzed, and the results indicated that the ET estimates had spatial distributions that correlated with vegetation patterns and could well demonstrate the ET differences caused by different land use types. The sensitivity analysis suggested that the SEB-A method requested accurate estimation of the available energy, R n − G , but was less constrained with the difference between ground and air temperature, T 0 − T a – l o c .

    Description: Two cases of bidirectional leader, starting almost immediately below a decaying dart or dart-stepped leader which terminated before reaching the ground, were identified firstly in rocket-triggered lightning flashes based on high-speed video, electric field changes and channel base current, indicating that a bidirectional leader can be excited by a decayed dart leader and propagate in a pre-existing discharge channel. The positive end of the bidirectional leader moved upward along the terminated downward dart leader path and the negative end extended downward along the decayed initial continuous current or preceding stroke path to the ground and culminated in a return stroke. The positive leader propagated with an average speed of 1.3 × 10 6  m/s and 2.2 × 10 6  m/s in the two cases, roughly twice as fast as its negative counterpart with speed of 7.8 × 10 5  m/s and 1.0 × 10 6  m/s, respectively. The positive end started earlier than the negative end with a preceding time less than 40.3 µs. It is concluded that a small segment of a not completely decayed discharge channel may serve as a floating conductor to induce development of bidirectional leader beneath a thunderstorm. The bidirectional leader can be regarded as a recoil leader with the positive end retrogressing along a negative leader channel, whose polarity is contrary to the traditional recoil leader with negative leader end retrogressing along an existing positive leader channel. Weak luminosity was continuously observed during the terminated dart leader and bidirectional leader stage, but the channel current was less than the minimum detection capability of 9.3 A.
