Using time‐series remote sensing to identify and track individual bird nests at large scales

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Time‐series airborne imagery can potentially track individuals over time to collect information beyond one‐off counts. Using weekly UAS‐based imagery of wading bird colonies, we develop an automated approach to identifying nests. Our algorithmic approach detected 68–74% of known nests and exhibited similar performance to human review of imagery ...

Optimisation of wave-power arrays without prescribed geometry over incident wave angle

International Marine Energy Journal, 2021
This paper describes the optimisation of arrays of wave energy converters (WECs) of point absorber type. The WECs are spherical in shape and operate in heave only.

Experimental Measurement of Wave Field Variations around Wave Energy Converter Arrays [PDF]

, 2017
Wave energy converters (WECs) inherently extract energy from incident waves. For wave energy to become a significant power provider in the future, large farms of WECs will be required.

Probing the Energy Trilemma Pillars: Do Innovation Pathways Deliver Cleaner and More Equitable Energy Systems?

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balancing reliable energy supply, equitable access, and environmental sustainability is a central challenge of the global energy transition. This study examines how innovation influences the energy trilemma by shaping energy security, energy equity, and environmental sustainability across 115 countries from 2011 to 2023.

Dynamic Resource Allocation Optimisation and Security‐Resilient Control for Bandwidth‐Limited Network Control Systems With Data Conflicts

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Networked control systems (NCSs) often suffer from performance degradation due to limited communication bandwidth, which can cause data transmission conflicts and packet loss. Existing scheduling strategies may fail to simultaneously meet the real‐time requirements and the importance of multisensor data, and they are particularly vulnerable ...
