Detailed understanding of a possible decoupling between climatic drivers of plant productivity and the response of ecosystems vegetation is required.We compared trends in six NDVI metrics (1982-2010) derived from the GIMMS3g dataset with modelled biomass productivity and assessed uncertainty in trend estimates.Annual total biomass weight (TBW) was
The market of solar-powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for defence purposes and drone services is expected to grow by a factor of more than 2 in the next decade.From an pc850q aircraft design perspective, the main challenge is the scalability of the proposed architectures, which is needed to increase the payload capabilities.Beside some succes
A 30-day incoherent scatter radar (ISR) experiment was conducted at Millstone Hill (288.5° E, 42.6° N) from 4 October to 4 November 2002.The altitude profiles of electron density Ne, ion and electron temperature (Ti and Te), and line-of-sight velocity during this experiment were processed to deduce the topside plasma scale height Hp, vertic
While visual inspection systems have been widely used in many industries, their use in the food and optical equipment industries has been limited.Transparent and reflective materials are often used in these applications, but existing anomaly detection (AD) systems have low accuracy in their detection due to low visibility.Here, we developed an AD s
