Machine and deep learning as tools for monitoring forest recovery from disturbance in the western United States
ABSTRACT Changing disturbance regimes in the western United States have raised concerns that forests may not recover following disturbance. We used 20 years of land cover change data and 23 years of summer maximum NDVI to assess forest recovery. The land cover change data were used to identify where forest was lost early on in the 20-year period and the NDVI data were used to monitor recovery at disturbed locations.

Radio Heroes - part 1
In an effort to do some long-form writing practice, over the next few posts I’m going to write a bit about my radio heroes - at least the ones I haven’t worked directly with. The obvious place to start? Yep. Hull. Thanks for reading! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. Peter Adamson, BBC Radio Humberside My love affair with radio started - as I suppose most lifelong passions do - at a young age.
NLCD’s Path from Early Landscape Snapshot to Decades of Change
NLCD’s Path from Early Landscape Snapshot to Decades of Change The widely used National Land Cover Database (NLCD) has long been the foundational land cover source for scientists, resource managers, and decision-makers across the United States, trusted for its accurate and unbiased data. Here, we’re exploring the evolution of NLCD through its reinvention this year as Annual NLCD.

Back in January 2022, I started my new role - Senior Journalist Team Manager, BBC Money and Work. I knew I was going to work on World Service live business radio programmes. I knew they were called Business Matters and World Business Report. I didn't know much more.
Low-dose mesenchymal stem cell therapy for discogenic pain: safety and efficacy results from a 1-year feasibility study
Background Low back pain (LBP) is a major health problem, affecting approximately 60–80% of the adult population at some stage in their life [1–3]. LBP is the second most common reason for physician visits [1] and work disability [4] and is associated with substantial healthcare costs and work absenteeism [5–7].
Not part of Europe anyway? – James Wickham
The langue of the Brexit stand-off is of a ‘level playing-field’ versus ‘sovereignty’. But beneath that, it’s about divergent social models. Explanations of Britain’s half-in, half-out relation to the European Union tend to focus on historical differences.
Captaincy
Exhausted. Seven overs under the belt – consecutively. It’s 27 degrees and as far as I’m concerned it could be 40. The ball – which has just trundled along the ground to cover – is being thrown straight to the next bowler. Fine leg is the destination for me – but not until a minute of shouting at fielders, trying to plan for a leg spinner who does spin it but doesn’t yet have the control.
Mesenchymal stem cell therapy combined with arthroscopic abrasion arthroplasty regenerates cartilage in patients with severe knee osteoarthritis: a case series | Regenerative Medicine
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic and progressive condition, which can result in significant pain and loss of function. Symptomatic OA, while often regarded as an age-related condition, is not only a disease of the elderly as it has a prevalence rate of 10% of males and 18% of females over the age of 45 years [1–4]. Alarmingly, there has been an observed increase in the number of patients undergoing total joint replacement under the age of 65 [5].
Evaluation of autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell therapy in focal chondral defects of the knee: a pilot case series
It is recognized that articular cartilage has a limited capacity to heal with several studies indicating that isolated chondral defects predispose patients to later development of early onset and progressive osteoarthritis (OA) [1–4]. The management of focal chondral defects of the knee can be particularly challenging and is influenced by factors including patient age, partial or full thickness chondral loss and the site of the lesion.

Mesenchymal stem cell use in acute respiratory distress syndrome: a potential therapeutic application
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a syndrome of acute respiratory failure resulting from acute and diffuse inflammatory lung injury leading to noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. Its development is commonly associated with bacterial and viral pneumonia though may also be a consequence of sepsis, severe trauma, aspiration and drug reactions [1,2]. Mortality of ARDS ranges from 25 to 40% with treatment primarily involving supportive care [3,4].
Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell therapy in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis: a randomized controlled trial
Regenerative MedicineVol. 14, No. 3 Research ArticleOpen Access Abstract Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADMSC) therapy on pain, function and disease modification in knee osteoarthritis. Methods: 30 participants with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis were randomized into three groups.
