The performance of a network of five CODAR (Coastal Ocean Dynamics Application Radar) high frequency (HF) radars is described based on comparisons with an array of nine moorings in the Santa Barbara Channel and Santa Maria Basin deployed between June 1997 and November 1999. Eight of the moorings carried vector measuring current meters (VMCM’s), the ninth an upward-looking acoustic Doppler curre...

Wearable sensors for gait analysis are attracting wide interest. In this paper, a wearable ground reaction force (GRF) sensor system and its application to measure extrinsic gait variability are presented. To validate the GRF and centre of pressure (CoP) measurements of the sensor system and examine the effectiveness of the proposed method for gait analysis, we conducted an experimental study o...

Airborne wind observations collected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) WP-3D aircraft are compared with the winds retrieved by the NOAA/Environmental Technology Laboratory’s ground-based scanning Doppler lidar within the Wipp Valley during the Special Observing Period of the Mesoscale Alpine Programme. Comparisons are performed along individual  ight tracks and ov...

Traffic jams are an economic and environmental problem in many countries. When traffic demand exceeds the freeway capacity, shock waves can be caused by small disturbances in the traffic flow. Since it is not always desirable or feasible to add more lanes on freeways to overcome capacity problems, alternative methods have been developed to reduce and to dissolve traffic jams. One of these metho...

telemedicine has changed the way of health care. it is an indispensable tool in the hands of doctors to accelerate and facilitate the process of data interchange. wireless networks consist of small nodes with communications capabilities. development of wireless networks of telemedicine system is highly demanded since these networks promise a wide range of potential applications. in this paper t...

Economic evaluation of 12 MW grid-connected wind farms and PV power plants in two regions in Northern Cyprus for electricity generation was investigated. The wind speed, sunshine duration, and solar global radiation characteristics were analyzed using monthly data collected over 17 years (2000-2016) for Girne and nine years (2008-2016) for Lefkoşa, which were measured at various heights. The re...
