An investigation of inversion method to measure the radial velocity of Kuroshio from Sentinel-1 SAR data by Benhua Tan, Lihua Wang, Dechen Ge, Zhen Fang, Weiwei Sun, Tian Feng

“…Three solutions matching different land coverage were adopted in the range direction, and the scalloping was removed by using average filtering in the azimuth direction. Comparison between SAR radial velocity and Global Surface Lagrangian Drifter (GLD) reveals that the correlation coefficient (R2) increase to 0.686, and root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.215 m/s after non-geophysical corrections, while the wind-wave bias corrections make R2 increase to 0.806 and RMSE decrease to 0.13 m/s. …”

The effect of environmental factors on oats resistance to loose smut by Т. P. Gradoboeva, G. A. Batalova

“…There has been established that the large varieties damage in the first 5–10 days after sowing infected seed was caused by negative temperatures on the soil surface (correlation coefficient (r) was 0.95 and 0.90, respectively), and by average daily air temperature (r = 0.94–0.76), the minimum temperature on the soil surface (r = 0.86 and 0.82) and soil temperature at a depth of 5 cm (r = 0.87 and 0.78). …”

Features of Preoperative Preparation of Patients with Burns and Chronic Ulcers of Various Etiology for Autodermoplasty by M. V. Varganov, A. A. Miklichev, K. D. Bogdanov

“…Upon comparison of preoperative preparation schemes used for patients with burns and chronic ulcers of various etiologies with a surface area of 1–5% appropriate for skin autografting, the scheme that included NPWT and reamberin for 5 days proved to be the most effective: an improvement in fibroblastogenesis and blood flow to the wound was noted in this group of patients, which was accompanied by an improvement in the skin flap survival rate up to 90.0±9.9%, which, in turn, reduced the duration of patient’s hospital stay — the average duration of the preoperative period was 2.5 times shorter, postoperative — 1.9 times shorter than in the comparison group (p&lt;0.05). …”
