Characterizing Sparse Spectral Diversity Within a Homogenous Background: Hydrocarbon Production Infrastructure in Arctic Tundra near Prudhoe Bay, Alaska by Daniel Sousa, Latha Baskaran, Kimberley Miner, Elizabeth Josephine Bushnell

“…The approach focuses on pixels which are not well modeled by linear subpixel mixing of the Substrate, Vegetation and Dark (S, V, and D) endmember spectra which dominate spectral variance for most of Earth’s land surface. We illustrate the approach using AVIRIS-3 imagery of anthropogenic surfaces (primarily hydrocarbon extraction infrastructure) embedded in a background of Arctic tundra near Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. …”

Metastatic Uterine Leiomyosarcoma in the Upper Buccal Gingiva Misdiagnosed as an Epulis by Andrea Cassoni, Valentina Terenzi, Davina Bartoli, Oriana Rajabtork Zadeh, Andrea Battisti, Mario Pagnoni, Davide Conte, Alessandro Lembo, Sandro Bosco, Francesco Alesini, Valentino Valentini

“…In case of metastases, surgical excision can be performed considering extent of disease, number and type of distant lesions, disease free interval from the initial diagnosis to the time of metastases, and expected life span. We illustrate a case of uterine LMS metastasis in the upper buccal gingiva that occurred during chemotherapy in a 63-year-old woman that underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for a diagnosis of LMS staged as pT2bN0 and that developed lung metastases eight months after primary treatment. …”

Convolutional Neural Networks for Direction of Arrival Estimation Compared to Classical Estimators and Bounds by Christopher J. Bell, Kaushallya Adhikari, Andrew Brown

“…These results indicate that the performance improvements from CNNs are highest for situations where there is signal model to data mismatch (imperfect information). This work also illustrates that the CNN estimators developed in this work exceed the CRLB and are biased estimators caused by the lack of unbiased constraint in the loss function during training of the CNNs.…”
