RETRIEVING PHYTOPLANKTON SIZE CLASS FROM THE ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT AND CHLOROPHYLL A CONCENTRATION BASED ON SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE

Retrieving Phytoplankton Size Class from the Absorption Coefficient and Chlorophyll A Concentration Based on Support Vector Machine

The phytoplankton size class (PSC) plays an important role in biogeochemical processes in the ocean.In this study, a regional model of PSCs is proposed to retrieve vertical PSCs from the total minus water absorption coefficient (at-w(λ)) and Chlorophyll a concentration (Chla).The PSC model is developed by first reconstructing phytoplankton abs

HIV-1C env and gag Variation in the Cerebrospinal Fluid and Plasma of Patients with HIV-Associated Cryptococcal Meningitis in Botswana

HIV-1 compartmentalization in reservoir sites remains a barrier to complete HIV eradication.It is unclear whether there is variation in HIV-1 env and gag between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma of individuals with HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis (CM).We compared HIV-1 Ceiling Mount env characteristics and the gag cytotoxic T-lymphocyte
