Field test of assumptions for using line transect distance sampling on rock ptarmigan

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Reliable population estimates are essential for the management of harvested species. Line transect distance sampling using pointing dogs is an established survey method for willow ptarmigan and has also been proposed for the monitoring of rock ptarmigan.

Review of Catenary Icing on High‐Speed Railways: Characteristics, Impact and Countermeasures

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pantograph–catenary system (PCS) is the only path for electrified railway trains to acquire energy. Catenary icing during winter is a common natural phenomenon, which usually leads to the deterioration of the current quality and severely affects the operational safety of trains.

On the effects of crosswinds in tandem aerodynamics:An experimental and computational study

European Journal of Mechanics - B/Fluids, 2019
Aerodynamics has been an important research aspect in cycling science, with aerodynamic apparel and equipment, athlete postures, and race strategies all taking advantage of scientific aerodynamics knowledge. Crosswinds occur when cyclists travel at a non-zero angle to the direction of the wind.

Soil Moisture Impact on Convective Initiation

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The influence of soil moisture on convective storm initiation remains an open question, with previous studies showing conflicting results regarding whether storms preferentially form over wet or dry soils. Here, we analyze the soil moisture‐convection relationship using satellite observations across North America, Africa, and Australia from ...

Analysis of crosswind aerodynamics for competitive hand-cycling

Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 2018
Competitive hand-cycling represents a unique case for cycling aerodynamics as the athletes are in a relatively aerodynamic position in comparison to traditional able-bodied cyclists. There are some aerodynamic similarities between both cycling disciplines, including wheel designs and helmets.

Wind, waves, wing loading and the flight energetics of giant petrels

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 1979-1993, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wind is a major factor driving seabird movement and energetics, the effects of which are modulated by morphology. Developments in tagging technology now make it possible to test predictions from aerodynamic theory about the effects of wind on flight performance in free ...

A trajectory-tracking controller for improving the safety and stability of four-wheel steering autonomous vehicles

Transport, 2021
To achieve anti-crosswind, anti-sideslip, and anti-rollover in trajectory-tracking for Four-Wheel Steering (4WS) autonomous vehicles, a trajectory-tracking controller based on a four-channel Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) was used to track ...
