Satellites are popular due to their wide area coverage and for providing connectivity in remote regions of the world. The future development of satellite systems providing services based on the Internet Protocol (IP) needs to be validated on a real satellite network. This paper presents the end-to-end quality of service (QoS) measurements taken at European Space Agency (ESA) testbed over DVB-RC...

Citizen science aims to mobilise the general public, motivated by curiosity, collect scientific data and contribute advancement of knowledge. In this article, we describe a citizen network that has been developed assess water quality in 100 km long tropical lake-estuarine system (Vembanad Lake), which directly or indirectly influences livelihood around 1.6 million people. Deterioration lake res...

Suspended sediment concentration (SSC) is an important indicator of water quality that affects the biological processes river ecosystems and evolution floodplains channels. The in situ SSC measurements are costly, laborious spatially discontinuous, while spaceborne overcome these drawbacks becomes effective supplement for observation. However, observations rivers more challenging than those lak...

This work examines a neural network model of a cortical mod ule where neurons are organized on a dimensional sheet and are connected with higher probability to their spatial neighbors Moti vated by recent ndings that cortical neurons have a resonant peak in their impedance magnitude function we present a frequency spatial transformation scheme that is schematically described as follows An exter...

Marine primary productivity is an important agent in the global cycling of carbon dioxide, a major 'greenhouse gas', and variations in the concentration of the ocean's phytoplankton biomass can therefore explain trends in the global carbon budget. Since the launch of satellite-mounted sensors globe-wide monitoring of chlorophyll, a phytoplankton biomass proxy, became feasible. Just as satellite...

The effect of treatment with the thymic factor thymostimulin (TP-1 ) on the survival rate of tumor-bearing mice was studied, using C57BL/6 mice inoculated with 1 x 105 Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL) cells. TP-1 given from inoculation day (4 mg/ kg, twice weekly) caused a delay in the appearance of primary tumor [14.4 ±1.1 (S.E.) days in control; 18.5 ±1.4 days in TP-1-treated animals; p < 0.05], ...

Turbidity and water colour are two easily measurable properties used to monitor pollution. Here, we highlight the utility of a low-cost device—3D printed, hand-held Mini Secchi disk (3DMSD) with Forel-Ule (FU) scale sticker on its outer casing—in combination mobile phone application (‘TurbAqua’) that was provided laymen for assessing quality shallow lake region after demolition four high-rise b...

A noise-compensated long correlation matching (NCLCM) method is proposed for autoregressi~e ~AR) spectral estimation of the noisy AR signals. This method first computes the AR parameters from the high-order "(ule-Walker equations. Next, it employs these AR parameters and uses the low-order Yule-Walker equations to compensate the zeroth autocorrelation coefficient for the additive white noise. F...
