LiDAR is also used to identify logging roads and the potential area of disturbed forest.
Forest degradation due to logging was delineated using a 1 km buffer around identified logging roads.
Stepwise multiple regression analysis identified log-IRI and HDL-cholesterol as significant determinants of log-BNP.
Overall survival in relation to patient physiology is shown in Figure 1, and a significant association with overall survival is identified (log rank 79.24, df=3, P=0.0005).
Multiple linear regression analysis identified log NT-proBNP, SDI at peak dobutamine dose, age are independent predictors of weekly creatinine clearance at 2 years (Table 5).
Multivariate regression analysis with a stepwise forward method identified log urinary type IV collagen (β = −0.28, P < 0.001), eGFR at baseline (β = −0.18, P = 0.002), and hypertension (β = −0.13, P = 0.03) as factors associated with the annual decline in eGFR.
Multivariate regression analysis with a stepwise forward method identified log urinary β2-microglobulin (β = 0.57, P < 0.001), diastolic blood pressure (β = 0.15, P < 0.01), eGFR (β = 0.15, P < 0.01), and log AER (β = 0.13, P = 0.01) as significant independent determinants of log urinary type IV collagen.
Our choice of specific variables to include in the analysis was justified based on literature (e.g., Hartman et al. 1996) that identifies logging impacts on streams based on recent logging (i.e., 3 20 years) and long-term logging (i.e., 20 140 years) effects.
Since the project started in February, citizens have used smartphones to identify and log more than 1,300 locations.
The system will provide global deforestation alerts to identify illegal logging and deforestation hotspots, drawing on a combination satellite and crowd-sourced data, including from local communities.
