Juvenile Osprey Navigation during Trans-Oceanic Migration
To compensate for drift, an animal migrating through air or sea must be able to navigate. Although some species of bird, fish, insect, mammal, and reptile are capable of drift compensation, our understanding of the spatial reference frame, and associated coordinate space, in which these navigational behaviors occur remains limited. Using high resolution satellite-monitored GPS track data, we sh...
متن کاملEngineering Trans-Oceanic 44 Mb/s TCP/IP Networks
High-speed TCP/IP networks, capable of supporting several 10 Mb/s data streams, are in common use within the continental United States and are being introduced in Europe. Extending such networks to support the intercontinental research community will require the solving of several technical challenges, including those at the transport level and those in congestion control and buffering within p...
متن کاملReinforcement Sailing
This thesis examines applying reinforcement learning to sailing. We give two conceptually different models of a simple sailing boat. Standard tabular reinforcement learning is shown to be ineffective in controlling these naturally continuous models. We examine a method [Smith, 2001b] which adaptively quantises both the state and action spaces and show that it has similar performance to the tabu...
متن کاملNext-Generation Tele-Immersive Devices for Desktop Trans-Oceanic Collaboration
Tele-Immersion is the combination of collaborative virtual reality and audio / video teleconferencing. With a new generation of high-speed international networks and high-end virtual reality devices spread around the world, e ective trans-oceanic tele-immersive collaboration is now possible. But in order to make these shared virtual environments more convenient workspaces, a new generation of d...

He told me in no uncertain terms that if I really wanted to be an English major or a writer, as I said I did, I would need to figure out how to pay for college on my own. I chose a school 2000 miles from home and overloaded my schedule with literature classes that I claimed were required, but I wasn’t brave or i...
