Why GPS makes distances bigger than they are [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), are among the most important sensors for movement analysis. GPS is widely used to record the trajectories of vehicles, animals and human beings.

Linkage variation and chromosome maps [PDF]

open access: yes, 1921
A recent paper in this journal by Detlefsen(1) is introduced as follows: "There is a well intrenched concept of recent genetics that hereditary factors or genes may be given fairly definite loci on chromosome maps and that these maps correspond to or ...

A Review on Applications of Capacitive Displacement Sensing for Capacitive Proximity Sensor

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Capacitive proximity sensors (CPSs) are ubiquitous because of their simple design, low cost and low consumption. Capacitive displacement sensing, as one of the three sensing modalities, works for long distance and can be unitized to measure more physical

Sgr A* ``Visual Binaries'': A Direct Measurement of the Galactocentric Distance [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
We present a new geometrical method for measuring the distance to the Galactic center (R_0) by solving for the Keplerian orbit of individual stars bound to the black hole associated with the Sgr A* from radial velocity and proper motion measurements.
