Marx, Marxian geography, and rent theory

The numerous interpretations of Marx’s economic theory can be usefully divided in two broad classes: real competition theory and monopolistic competition theory. Marxian geographers (inspired by Harvey) have applied the latter without discussing why they ignore the former. The problem is particularly salient when it comes to rent theory. Geographers following Harvey have famously ignored Marx’s ab

Session M90: Marxism(s) in Geographic and Sustainability Research

Since the beginning of the Great Recession of 2008, we are witnessing a deepening of social and ecological crises. As a transdisciplinary research program, with a powerful critique of capitalist economy at its core, there is little surprise that we witness an ever-increasing body of literature of Marxist contributions to the fields of (among others) urban and sustainability studies following the c

Verification and Validation of the ARTU (Tunnel Fire Risk analysis) tool

This report presents the results of a set of verification and validation tests of a probabilistic risk assessment tool, named ARTU (Italian acronym for Risk Analysis in Tunnels), for road tunnel fire safety. This is performed along with a literature review to identify key factors that affect the tunnel fire risk along with inputs for the risk assessment tool. To perform the validation of the 1D fl

Medication Discrepancies in Discharge Summaries and Associated Risk Factors for Elderly Patients with Many Drugs

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Elderly patients are at high risk for medication errors in care transitions. The discharge summary aims to counteract drug-related problems due to insufficient information transfer in care transitions, hence the accuracy of its medication information is of utmost importance. The purpose of this study was to describe the medication discrepancy rate and associated risk fact

The Effects of Frontal Brain Impairment on Fluency : Simple and Complex Paradigms

Neuropsychological measures of fluency require productivity under timed conditions. The current study explored the parameters of fluency paradigms by extending the associational demands of the tasks. Ss with frontal lobe tumors (n = 17) were compared with normal subjects (n = 17) on simple and complex fluency tasks. Complex fluency tasks appeared to be more sensitive to tumor presence than simple

Automated Image-Based Quantification of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Using NETQUANT

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are web-like antimicrobial structures consisting of DNA and granule derived antimicrobial proteins. Immunofluorescence microscopy and image-based quantification methods remain important tools to quantitate neutrophil extracellular trap formation. However, there are key limitations to the immunofluorescence-based methods that are currently available for quantif

A direct solver for the phase retrieval problem in ptychographic imaging

Measurements achieved with ptychographic imaging are a special case of diffraction measurements. They are generated by illuminating small parts of a sample with, e.g., a focused X-ray beam. By shifting the sample, a set of far-field diffraction patterns of the whole sample is then obtained. From a mathematical point of view those measurements are the squared modulus of the windowed Fourier transfo

An instrument variable based algorithm for estimating cross-correlated hydrological remote sensing errors

Optimally using multi-source remote-sensing (RS) and/or reanalyzed hydrological products requires knowledge of each product's accuracy and inter-product error cross-correlations. Quadruple collocation (QC) analysis can potentially solve for this error information without the reliance of high-quality ground references. However, QC requires at least three independent products for a variable of inter

A double instrumental variable method for geophysical product error estimation

The global validation of remotely sensed and/or modeled geophysical products is often complicated by a lack of suitable ground observations for comparison. By cross-comparing three independent collocated observations, triple collocation (TC) can solve for geophysical product errors in error-prone systems. However, acquiring three independent products for a geophysical variable of interest can be c

Hydrologic evaluation of TRMM and GPM IMERG satellite-based precipitation in a humid basin of China

Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) is one of the most popular global high resolution satellite-based precipitation products with a goal of measuring precipitation over the oceans and tropics. However, in recent years, the TRMM mission has come to an end. Its successor, Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission was launched to measure the earth's precipitation structure, with an aim

Spatial evaluation of L-band satellite-based soil moisture products in the upper Huai River basin of China

Using dense soil moisture (SM) measurements in the upper Huai River basin of China, this study evaluated the spatial patterns of L-band satellite-based SM products, including Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) L3, Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) L3 and the European Space Agency’s Climate Change Initiative (ESA CCI) SM products. The mean difference (MD), root mean squared error (RMSE), unb

The impact of the Madden-Julian Oscillation on hydrological extremes

Extreme climate events such as severe droughts and floods have become more frequent and widespread in the 21st Century. Recent studies have revealed the tele-connections between Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) and extreme precipitation over different regions such as South America, India and China. This study investigates the influence of MJO on global extreme dry and wet conditions, and how the st

Enhancing SWAT with remotely sensed LAI for improved modelling of ecohydrological process in subtropics

Vegetation growth in Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a crucial process for quantifying ecohydrological modelling, as it influences evapotranspiration, interception, soil erosion and biomass production. The simplified version of Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) in SWAT was originally designed for temperate regions and naturally based on temperature to simulate growth cycles

Variations of Lake Ice Phenology on the Tibetan Plateau From 2001 to 2017 Based on MODIS Data

Lake ice is a robust indicator of climate change. The availability of information contained in Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer daily snow products from 2000 to 2017 could be greatly improved after cloud removal by gap filling. Thresholds based on open water pixel numbers are used to extract the freezeup start and breakup end dates for 58 lakes on the Tibetan Plateau (TP); 18 lakes ar
