Difference between Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Study designs.

Check out our latest publication on remote sensing of soil moisture using a passive L-band radiometer! This work was led by our postdoc Dr. Runze Zhang and with valuable collaborations from Dr. Elahe Soltanaghai, Adam Watts, and Derek Houtz. The article outline early performance evaluation results of the Portable L-band Radiometer designed by TerraRad and Derek Houtz and demonstrates an exciting step toward high-resolution surface remote sensing. More updates on the UAS-based deployment of this sensor are forthcoming! The article is available here: https://lnkd.in/gQgSuHxp #RemoteSensing #SoilMoisture #Radiometery

Thermography and post-exercise recovery: cold❄️ or heat🔥? 🤔 In this scheme adapted from Robin Thorpe PhD (ex-sports scientist at Manchester United), depending on the origins of #fatigue, a post-exercise recovery individualization strategy can be prescribed. Some key points: 👉 Identification of the origins of fatigue. 👉 Use of technologies such as thermography to monitor skin temperature. 👉 Importance of understanding physiological systems to improve recovery and prevent injuries. 👉 Focus on personalizing recovery strategies. 👉 Proposal of infrared #thermography as a tool to identify the type of fatigue. "…A better understanding of physiological systems and mechanisms of fatigue can provide a clearer picture for improving exercise recovery, performance, and injury prevention…" - Robin Thorpe PhD (2021) Read the full article 👉 https://lnkd.in/d-ttAmME

Understanding what type of #fatigue the player has is not only useful to suggest the appropriate #recovery strategy (not all players should be recommended cold therapies). ThermoHuman thermography also allows the coach to start conversations with the players regarding #stress, bad sleeping habits, rest... Knowing how prepared the player is to compete at maximum intensity is valuable information for injury prevention.

#webinar alert. Join the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine for a 2-part webinar workshop titled "The Social-Ecological Consequences of Future Wildfire in the West". The first workshop will be held on Thursday, June 13, 2024, 9 am - 5 pm PT/ 12 - 8 pm ET, and the second on Friday, June 14, 2024, 9 am - 3:30 pm PT/ 12 - 6:30 pm ET. The workshop will focus on understanding and responding to increasing fire size, severity, and frequency since the 1970s. The public workshop will also focus on policy/practice considerations, research/data needs, and community engagement strategies as it seeks to identify gaps in knowledge, the value of filling those gaps, strategies for doing so, and what disciplines must work together.
