Over past years, the fabrication of Ti-based permanent implants for fracture fixation, joint replacement and bone or tooth substitution, has become a routine task.However, it has been found that some degradation phenomena occurring on the Ti surface limits the life or the efficiency of the artificial constructs.The task of Mirror avoiding such adve

Soil moisture is a crucial factor in the field of meteorology, hydrology, and agricultural sciences.In agricultural production, surface soil moisture (SSM) is crucial for crop yield estimation and drought monitoring.For SSM inversion, a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) offers a trustworthy data source.However, for agricultural fields, the use of SAR
