A Precision Drone Landing System using Visual and IR Fiducial Markers and a Multi-Payload Camera [PDF]
We propose a method for autonomous precision drone landing with fiducial markers and a gimbal-mounted, multi-payload camera with wide-angle, zoom, and IR sensors. The method has minimal data requirements; it depends primarily on the direction from the drone to the landing pad, enabling it to switch dynamically between the camera's different sensors and

The pulse of the city through Twitter: relationships between land use and spatiotemporal demographics [PDF]
Social network data offer interesting opportunities in urban studies. In this study, we used Twitter data to analyse city dynamics over the course of the day. Users of this social network were grouped according to city zone and time slot in order to analyse the daily dynamics of the city and the relationship between this and land use.

ABSTRACT Hearing loss is a poignant issue in many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and, without sufficient support, it can also contribute to disabling life experiences. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is intended to provide support to eligible people experiencing disability, however, to effectively serve this ...

Landing Dynamics of a Seagull Examined by Field Observation and Mathematical Modeling [PDF]
A seagull ({\it Larus crassirostris}) has a high ability to realize its safe, accurate and smooth landing. We examined how a seagull controls its angle of attack when landing on a specific target. First, we recorded the landing behavior of an actual seagull by multiple video cameras and quantified the flight trajectory and the angle of attack as time ...

‘Somewhere We Can Call Home and…Be Normal’: Findings From the Justice Housing Programme Evaluation
ABSTRACT The relationship between homelessness or unstable housing and reincarceration is well documented. The initial month after a person is released from custody is a period of particular vulnerability, with an increased risk of homelessness and return to prison.
