Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Detection-Performance Prediction for Passive Sonar Systems [PDF]
Horton has derived the “direct-listening equation” as one of a set applicable to specific classes of sonar systems. From this equation, he determines the maximum allowable one-way propagation loss for a passive sonar system to detect a noise source that radiates a known energy spectral density. This paper reviews and extends Horton's results to provide

CONCERT: A Modular Reconfigurable Robot for Construction
ABSTRACT This paper presents CONCERT, a fully reconfigurable modular collaborative robot (cobot) for multiple on‐site operations in a construction site. CONCERT has been designed to support human activities in construction sites by leveraging two main characteristics: high‐power density motors and modularity. In this way, the robot is able to perform a

Data handling methods and target detection results for multibeam and sidescan data collected as part of the search for SwissAir Flight 111 [PDF]
The crash of SwissAir Flight 111, off Nova Scotia in September 1998, triggered one of the largest seabed search surveys in Canadian history. The primary search tools used were sidescan sonars (both conventional and focussed types) and multibeam sonars ...

System Concepts for Bi- and Multi-Static SAR Missions [PDF]
The performance and capabilities of bi- and multistatic spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) are analyzed. Such systems can be optimized for a broad range of applications like frequent monitoring, wide swath imaging, single-pass cross-track ...

Abstract To satisfy the needs of the Arctic sea ice seasonal prediction in summer, we developed the Arctic Seasonal Prediction System (ArcSPS). This system integrates an Arctic sea ice–ocean–atmosphere coupled model with an ensemble‐based Kalman Filter data assimilation model.

ABSTRACT Chronic anthropogenic activity is an ongoing threat to the marine environment and presents unique challenges in shallow, coastal habitats where harbor porpoises reside. Harbor porpoises have high metabolic needs and are highly susceptible to negative environmental factors; however, no long‐term studies have been conducted on wild populations ...
