Aircraft Multi-stage Altitude Prediction Under Satellite Signal Loss by Mengchan HUANG, Qiang MIAO

“…Objective Combining an inertial navigation system (INS) and a global positioning system (GPS) in stable conditions of GPS satellite signals offers the most accurate altitude indication, termed inertial satellite composite altitude. When GPS signals are lost or unstable, aircraft must rely only on INS altitude, introducing a discrepancy compared to the composite altitude. …”

Frog as a symbol in the commentary on the book of revelation by Tyconius the African (Rev. 16. 13–14) by Elizaveta Materova

“…These parts are spiritually opposite but have to remain together till the Last Judgment when the fi nal separation will happen explicitly. Thus, the frog as a symbol of the false part of the Church is in accordance with Tyconius’ system of ideas.…”

Re-use of Building Products in the Netherlands by Loriane Icibaci

“…Whereas the goals to improve waste management towards waste-to-resource and waste elimination evolved from guidelines to political action (throughout the EU), reuse of products remained a less implicit strategy. The reuse of building products is an ancient practice; nonetheless, limited information is available regarding the aspects involved in the existing process. …”

Implications of the thermal environment for terrestrial wildlife management by R. Dwayne Elmore, J. Matthew Carroll, Evan P. Tanner, Torre J. Hovick, Blake A. Grisham, Samuel D. Fuhlendorf, Steve K. Windels

“…Rarely does management consider thermal cover explicitly or in a spatiotemporally dynamic way; in our view, this is a major short‐coming of current conservation planning and management actions. …”

Transcription Analysis of the Myometrium of Labouring and Non-Labouring Women. by Gemma C Sharp, James L Hutchinson, Nanette Hibbert, Tom C Freeman, Philippa T K Saunders, Jane E Norman

“…Our analysis also suggested that labour is characterised by a decrease in the expression of muscle-specific processes, which has not been explicitly discussed previously. We validated these findings through the first formal meta-analysis of raw data from previous experiments and we hypothesise that this represents a change in the composition of myometrial tissue at labour. …”

Integrated Urban River Corridors by Claudiu Forgaci

“…Hence, the thesis addresses four spatial problems arising from the loss of synergy between the natural dynamics of rivers and the spatial configuration and composition of urban areas that they cross: (1) river-taming operations combined with riverside traffic corridors have weakened the relationship between fluvial geomorphology and urban morphology, transforming rivers into physical barriers; (2) flood-protection measures aiming for resistance to water dynamics have led to a latent flood risk; (3) the capacity of urban rivers to deliver ecosystem services has been diminished; and (4) rationalisations of the river system have reduced the scalar, (and implicitly) social and ecological complexity of urban rivers. …”
