A subtle improvement is observed when GLCM texture metrics were added to Sentinel-1 data
The aim of this paper is to 1)conduct a comparative analysis of the SMILE Google Earth Engine machine learning classifiers and analyze their performance in crop type classification over a semi-arid irrigated heterogeneous landscape; 2) classify cannabis fields in the Bekaa region for the years 2016, 2017 and 2018 using multi-temporal multispectral imagery and GEE […]

A developing brain subject to chronic cannabis-exposure may to a greater extent affect these underlying mechanisms, and hence result in increased severity of diminished expression. Apathy, on the other hand, is linked to reward expectancy and cost-benefit-computation . It is possible that these mechanisms have other determinants, and therefore present as associations to male sex […]
We used the Breslow method to handle ties in the timing of reported outcome events
Brief individual interventions addressing substance use motivations and expectancies have been successful in reducing adolescent cannabis use ; however, research on preventing initiation through brief intervention and among JIY is nascent. Extension of expectancies research with JIY samples is necessary, particularly using prospective data and examining the role of positive expectancies and cannabis use outside […]
