Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Persistence and potential of soil organic carbon in nature‐based climate solutions: A review of managed disturbances

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Implementing nature‐based climate solutions is important for mitigating climate change, which is a global issue, but requires local adjustments in management practices. Using the association between soil carbon and minerals as a proxy for carbon persistence, we evaluated the effect of different management regimes on soil carbon sequestration and loss ...

Carbon Performance in Airlines: A Qualitative Comparative Analysis of Institutional and Firm‐Level Drivers

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Air transport is one of the fastest‐growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions, yet it remains one of the most difficult sectors to decarbonize. The sector's climate impact is amplified by two factors: the steady rise in passenger demand and the absence of commercially viable low‐carbon technologies for long‐haul flights.

Research on a Drone‐Based Vacant Parking Detection System

open access: yesIEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.
It can be difficult to know which spaces are available in parking lots and bicycle parking areas, so knowing the availability status is necessary for efficient parking. Therefore, in this study, we developed the drone that can display the availability status. Availability is determined by whether it can read a QR code attached to the ground. To conduct

Spraying drones: efficacy of integrating an avian repellent with drone hazing to elicit blackbird flock dispersal and abandonment of sunflower fields

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Multiple management strategies exist to combat bird damage to agriculture. We explored combining two tools, drones as frightening devices and an avian repellent, to assess effectiveness of an integrated method to deter large flocks on complex landscapes. We evaluated the ability of a spraying drone (DJI Agras MG‐1P) deploying Avian Control (i.e. active

Implementation of IMMPDAF Algorithm in LabVIEW for Multi Sensor Single Target Tracking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Real time IMMPDAF algorithm has been implemented and tested in LabVIEW. Single aircraft flight profiles have been simulated and the plot data from multiple radars observing the single aircraft are generated with noise as well as clutter. The performance

Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

Vortex safety when flying at an assigned flight level

open access: yesНаучный вестник МГТУ ГА
Air traffic intensity between countries and within individual countries is increasing year by year. As a rule, airways follow the same routes. As a result, so-called “roads in the sky” are formed.

The New York City Noise Control Code: Not with a Bang, but a Whisper [PDF]

open access: yes, 1973
This comment reviews the history of noise control legislation in New York City and examines the New York City Noise Control Code enacted in 1972 to reduce and regulate noise levels by explaining its administration, substantive limitations, and method of
