Determination of the Sample Size of Linear Features Used in Cartographic Quality Control Through Monte Carlo Simulation

open access: yesTransactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 5, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In sampling‐based process, sample size is always a debated topic. To assess positional accuracy using points, there are several studies and standards that determine what sample size should be used. However, for positional control using lines, there is no knowledge of a study that indicates the sample size.

How many RPAS can be safely integrated in non–segregated airspace? [PDF]

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2019
The forthcoming integration of Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) is one of the cmost omplex challenges for aviation. Europe draws to allow operating RPAS and conventional aircraft in non-segregated airspace by 2025, but this demanding perspective ...

Does AI Affect the Democratic Conduct of War? Analyzing US and Israeli Military AI Deployment

open access: yesGlobal Policy, Volume 17, Issue S2, Page S45-S56, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines how the use of decision‐support military Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems can affect the democratic conduct of warfare. AI can challenge the democratic conduct of warfare by introducing systemic risks such as reduced oversight, opacity, and automation bias.

In situ aerial bioacoustic monitoring from extremely noisy drone recordings

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 7, Page 2061-2072, July 2026.
Abstract Aerial bioacoustic monitoring has the potential to transform biodiversity surveys by enabling rapid acoustic sampling across large and inaccessible habitats. However, its application from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has remained limited because strong rotor self‐noise overwhelms target sounds such as bird vocalisations, compromising the ...

Remotely Piloted Aircraft System and Engineering Management: A Real Case Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Photovoltaic energy is one of the most relevant renewable energy due to its fast growth in the last years. The sizes of the solar panels and the solar power plants are also increasing. Therefore, the modern solar plants require new maintenance techniques that ensure the efficiency and rentability.

Adaptation and Response in Drylands: A Dryland Research Agenda and Campaign Strategy

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
The Adaptation and Response in Drylands (ARID) campaign was selected by NASA as a scoping study to develop a research agenda for a dryland field campaign. Here, we detail our ARID science research agenda and implementation plan that were developed based on an extensive community engagement effort in over 160 events with over a thousand scientists, land

Using Drone‐Derived Imagery to Describe Prey Sharing Behaviors in Two Piscivorous Resident Killer Whale Populations

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Cooperative foraging occurs across diverse taxa and facilitates prey acquisition and social learning, particularly when prey is shared among group members. In Resident killer whales (Orcinus orca ater), prey sharing is central to how individuals acquire salmonid prey, yet current research has relied primarily on boat‐based observations.

The Influence of Territory Quality on Behavioral Activity, Mass Loss, and Tenure in Breeding Male Australian Fur Seals

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Territory quality is a key determinant of male reproductive success and an important driver of population dynamics in pinnipeds. In Australian fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus; AUFS), males rely on pre‐breeding energy reserves to acquire and maintain territories, linking competitive ability to body size and condition.

Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems for Maritime Surveillance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) gain increasing interest and use for civil applications. However, regulation for integration in airspace is not harmonised in Europe. Also flying beyond the line of sight (BLOS) is only possible by use of command & control communication through a reliable relay system.

Vegetation structure and soil organic carbon storage across northern forest-tundra ecotones in continuous permafrost

open access: yesArctic Science
Climate change is altering northern vegetation structure and below-ground carbon storage. Expanding forest and shrub cover has decreased soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in some parts of the forest-tundra ecotone.
