INDIVIDUAL TREE SEGMENTATION BASED ON REGION-GROWING AND DENSITY-GUIDED CANOPY 3-D MORPHOLOGY DETECTION USING UAV LIDAR DATA

Individual Tree Segmentation Based on Region-Growing and Density-Guided Canopy 3-D Morphology Detection Using UAV LiDAR Data

Forest tree information is crucial for monitoring forest resources and developing forestry management strategies.Airborne laser scanning is an efficient and rapid method for acquiring 3-D point cloud data of forests, making up for the shortcomings of optical remote sensing.Especially for unmanned aircraft vehicle laser scanning, the high-density po

Folic acid restricts SARS-CoV-2 invasion by methylating ACE2

The current COVID-19 pandemic is motivating us to elucidate Boats the molecular mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 invasion and find methods for decreasing its transmissibility.We found that SARS-CoV-2 could increase the protein level of ACE2 in mice.Folic acid and 5-10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) could promote the methylation of the ACE2 prom
