A study on the classification of coastal wetland vegetation based on the Suaeda salsa index and its phenological characteristics by Weicheng Huang, Xianyun Fei, Weiwei Yang, Zhen Wang, Yajun Gao, Hong Yan

“…However, this method lacks the capacity to discern changes in vegetation colour. Therefore, in this study, based on the analysis of the spectral separability of Suaeda salsa (S. salsa) and native vegetation, two new Red Suaeda salsa Indices (RSSI and RSSI(1)) were constructed by selecting the red, green and near-infrared bands of the Sentinel 2 multispectral band, and then, based on the sample points, we constructed the RSSI time series and fitted using Fourier function fitting, and extracted (a) Difference Of RSSI (DOR), (b) Sum Of RSSI (SOR), (c) Ratio Of Green-up RSSI (ROGR), and (d) Ratio Of Senescence RSSI (ROSR) from the phenological fitting curve. …”

THE STRUCTURE OF HAPPINESS REPRESENTATION FOR RUSSIAN AND AMERICAN REPRESENTATIVES by S. Yu. Zhdanova, A. V. Pecherkina, A. A. Strokanov

“…The variability in the oral narrative of happiness is manifested in the differences in the frequency of access to the categories represented in the clusters identified, as well as in minor changes in the structure of clusters due to age. In particular, the Russian students more often appealed to the categories describing values of family and family well-being, as well as they used the non-verbal units showing aspiration to deduction of emotional state. …”
