Global Inland Water Monitoring from Satellite Radar Altimetry – a Glimpse into the Future
The capability of satellite radar altimeters to monitor the height changes of major lakes is well established. However, river systems present far more challenging targets. By retracking altimeter echoes using an expert system approach, river heights can be successfully monitored; this capability is bounded by the along-track sampling rate. However, a glimpse into the potential of future altimet...
متن کاملPhotoreceptors of cnidarians 1
Cnidarians are the most primitive present-day invertebrates to have multicellular light-detecting organs, called ocelli (eyes). These photodetectors include simple eyespots, pigment cups, complex pigment cups with lenses, and cameratype eyes with a cornea, lens, and retina. Ocelli are composed of sensory photoreceptor cells interspersed among nonsensory pigment cells. The photoreceptor cells ar...
متن کاملExpanded Functional Diversity of Shaker K+ Channels in Cnidarians Is Driven by Gene Expansion
The genome of the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis (starlet sea anemone) provides a molecular genetic view into the first nervous systems, which appeared in a late common ancestor of cnidarians and bilaterians. Nematostella has a surprisingly large and diverse set of neuronal signaling genes including paralogs of most neuronal signaling molecules found in higher metazoans. Several ion channel g...

متن کاملSquirtle: An ASV for Inland Water Environmental Monitoring
This paper presents the Squirtle, an Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) for autonomous navigation and capable of manoeuvring in tight river environments. Its main features include precise localization with RTKGPS and inertial sensors, high manoeuvrability and autonomy, depth sensing and obstacle detection. Its purpose is the exploration and mapping of the bottom of rivers and of their shores. The...
