SNR-Dependent Environmental Model: Application in Real-Time GNSS Landslide Monitoring

Real-Time GPS Landslide Monitoring Under Poor Satellite Visibility

Among the available technologies such as cables and lasers, the Global Positioning System (GPS) is being increasingly used for automated continuous monitoring of landslides and avalanches. The timely identification of precursory movements of landslides could save lives and minimise collateral damage. Carrier-phase observations from four or more GPS satellites allow relative displacements to be ...

\"Internet of Things\": An Emerging Real-Time Technology for Environmental Health Monitoring

Time-Dependent Real-Space Renormalization Group Method

In this paper, using the tight-binding model, we extend the real-space renormalization group method to time-dependent Hamiltonians. We drive the time-dependent recursion relations for the renormalized tight-binding Hamiltonian by decimating selective sites of lattice iteratively. The formalism is then used for the calculation of the local density of electronic states for a one dimensional quant...

A Semi-Empirical SNR Model for Soil Moisture Retrieval Using GNSS SNR Data

The Global Navigation Satellite System-Interferometry and Reflectometry (GNSS-IR) technique on soil moisture remote sensing was studied. A semi-empirical Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) model was proposed as a curve-fitting model for SNR data routinely collected by a GNSS receiver. This model aims at reconstructing the direct and reflected signal from SNR data and at the same time extracting freque...

Real-time Remote Monitoring System Based on the Large Deformation Cable with Constant Resistance for Landslide Disaster and Its Application

It is meaningful for researching on monitoring and forecasting technology of slope stability to prevent landslide disasters, especially in the water system fields. Based on the mechanical principle of interaction among sliding mass, sliding bed and monitoring cable, a new type of energy absorbing cable (called Large Deformation Cable with Constant Resistance) which can have 2000mm deformation w...
