Hyperspectral and LiDAR space-borne data for assessing mountain forest volume and biomass by Rodolfo Ceriani, Sebastian Brocco, Monica Pepe, Silvio Oggioni, Giorgio Vacchiano, Renzo Motta, Roberta Berretti, Davide Ascoli, Matteo Garbarino, Donato Morresi, Francesco Bassi, Francesco Fava

“…AGB was retrieved with significantly lower accuracy than SV, and S2-GEDI models outperformed EMIT-GEDI ones, likely because of the higher S2 spatial resolution better capturing AGB variability associated to different tree species. GEDI LiDAR proved to be a necessary input for accurate SV and AGB retrieval, and GPR was the best-performing ML algorithm. …”

How Small Can S-boxes Be? by Chenhao Jia, Tingting Cui, Qing Ling, Yan He, Kai Hu, Yu Sun, Meiqin Wang

“…This paper aims to determine the exact minimum area of optimal 4-bit S-boxes (whose differential uniform and linearity are both 4) under certain standard cell library. Firstly, we evaluate the upper and lower bounds upon the minimum area of S-boxes, by proposing a Prim-like greedy algorithm and utilizing properties of balanced Boolean functions to construct bijective S-boxes. …”
