Measurement and modeling of diffuse ultraviolet radiation: A review

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Solar UV radiation consists of direct and diffuse UV components. The diffuse component contributes to the exposure received by humans and to the risk of skin cancer and sun‐related eye disorders. This review aims to determine future research directions for the measurement and modeling of diffuse solar UV radiation.

A population Monte Carlo model for underwater acoustic telemetry positioning in reflective environments

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Underwater acoustic telemetry positioning is widely used to track the fine‐scale movements of aquatic animals. In study areas near acoustically reflective surfaces, reflected transmissions may cause large detection outliers that can severely reduce the ...

Room geometry estimation from a single channel acoustic impulse response [PDF]

, 2013
For a 2D rectangular room of unknown dimensions and with unknown source and microphone positions, the times of arrival of reflections can be described in terms of im-age source positions.

Non-line-of-sight Node Localization based on Semi-Definite Programming in Wireless Sensor Networks

, 2009
An unknown-position sensor can be localized if there are three or more anchors making time-of-arrival (TOA) measurements of a signal from it. However, the location errors can be very large due to the fact that some of the measurements are from non-line ...

Impact of Urban Environmental Indices on Surface Temperature in Dhaka: A Policy‐Oriented Perspective

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Dhaka's rapid urban expansion has intensified surface heating and degraded environmental quality. This study analyzes environmental indices from 2015 to 2025, revealing a strong positive relationship between built‐up growth and land surface temperature, and negative associations with vegetation and water presence.

Position determination of acoustic source using a discrete probability density method supported by joint detection and time of arrival estimation [PDF]

Scientific Technical Review, 2017
The localization of various acoustic sources in a battlefield (such as weapon rounds, mortars, rockets, mines, improvised explosive devices, vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices and airborne vehicles) nowadays has significant history.

IUCN Red List Regional Assessment of the Flora of Niue Utilising Indigenous Local Knowledge and Botanical Information

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2026.
A regional assessment of the indigenous vascular plants of Niue is presented using the IUCN Red List criteria. The assessment was undertaken during a community workshop that drew on the indigenous local knowledge and scientific information. The assessment comprised 197 named taxa and 8 indeterminate entities, with 4 (2.0%) taxa assessed as Extinct and ...

A Statistically Modelling Method for Performance Limits in Sensor Localization

, 2011
In this paper, we study performance limits of sensor localization from a novel perspective. Specifically, we consider the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) in single-hop sensor localization using measurements from received signal strength (RSS), time of ...

Tā Te Tamariki Mahi, he wāwāhi Tahā: Gamifying Māori Data Sovereignty

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2026.
The concept and implementation of Māori Data Sovereignty (MDS) into education environments have grown in salience and importance over the last decade. However, as a concept, it is difficult to understand. One way to address the communication of difficult concepts in education environments is through gamification.
