Applications of numerical analysis in navigation [PDF]
, 1994 Part one of the thesis contains analysis of the methods of computation in navigation. We start with loxodromic navigation and, although this subject is well documented, we make a positive attempt to analyse the subject matter using the methods of ...

Hypotheses and tracking results about the longest migration: The case of the arctic tern
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 17, Page 9511-9531, September 2019., 2019 The arctic tern is probably the animal that performs the longest known migrations. We used geolocator tracking data from a population of arctic terns from the Baltic Sea for evaluating the ecology and evolution of its long‐distance pelagic migration.

Wavelet-based directional analysis of the gravity field: evidence for large-scale undulations
, 2012 International audienceIn the eighties, the analysis of satellite altimetry data leads to the major discovery of gravity lineations in the oceans, with wavelengths between 200 and 1400 km.

Journal of Advanced Transportation, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 In China, air traffic congestion has become increasingly prominent and tends to spread from terminal areas to en route networks. Accurate and objective traffic demand prediction could alleviate congestion effectively. However, the usual demand prediction is based on conjecture method of flying track, and the number of aircraft flying over a sector in a

Accuracy Improvement of Discharge Measurement with Modification of Distance Made Good Heading
Advances in Meteorology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 Remote control boats equipped with an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) are widely accepted and have been welcomed by many hydrologists for water discharge, velocity profile, and bathymetry measurements. The advantages of this technique include high productivity, fast measurements, operator safety, and high accuracy.

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 The compound control of active‐disturbance‐rejection control (ADRC) with sliding mode is proposed to improve the performance of the closed‐loop system and deal with the constraint condition problem of a surface ship. The advantages of ADRC with sliding mode were verified by ship course control simulations. Meanwhile, to solve the path‐following problem

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 4, July 2025.Migration is an energy‐intensive phase of birds' life cycle, often including the crossing of large ecological barriers during non‐stop flights. Corticosterone (CORT), an adrenocortical hormone also known as the stress hormone, generally rises at the onset of migration to facilitate and sustain high‐energy metabolism.

Australian Ocean surface waves dataset from SAR
Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 638-654, October 2024.In this article, a first regional Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) ocean surface waves dataset, containing directional ocean swell spectra measurements from Europe's Sentinel‐1 A and B satellites, is described. The goal is to support marine scientific and industrial research in Australia.
