Factual approach for tropical forest parameters measurement and monitoring: future option with a focus on synergetic use of airborne and terrestrial lidar technologies by Bazezew, Muluken N., Hussin, Yousif A., Kloosterman, Evert H., M. Hasmadi, Ismail

“…To overcome this challenge incurred due to the complex biophysical properties of tropical forests, Airborne and Terrestrial LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technologies have been used combinedly. Airborne LiDAR data ‘from above’ are largely restricted to analyses of lower canopy layer trees. …”

Performance evaluations of fast frequency-hopped spread-spectrum communication systems with partial-band noise jamming and multitone jamming by Teh, Kah Chan.

“…The effects of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN)are also taken into consideration. The bit-error rate (BER)expressions presented in this thesis are applicable to higher diver-sity levels without much extra computational complexity. …”

Synchronous reluctance motor-drive for energy efficiency solution by Xu, Han

“…In this report, a survey of the existing motor-drives solution has been carried out. To limit the scope of this work, only industrial drives have been considered because these form the largest percentage of drives sold globally and around the tropical belt that includes Singapore.…”

Laser-Guide-Star Satellite for Ground-Based Adaptive Optics Imaging of Geosynchronous Satellites by Marlow, Weston, Carlton, Ashley, Hyosang, Yoon, Clark, James, Haughwout, Christian, Cahoy, Kerri, Males, Jared, Close, Laird, Morzinski, Katie

“…Although the preliminary analysis indicates that a single satellite guide star cannot be used for observing multiple astronomical targets, it will only require a little propellant to relocate within the geosynchronous belt. Results of a design study on the feasibility of a small-satellite guide star have been presented, and the potential benefits to astronomical imaging and to the larger space situational awareness community have been highlighted.…”

Linear A libation tables : a semitic connection explored by Eu Min, Niki Cassandra, Perono Cacciafoco, Francesco, Cavallaro, Francesco Paolo

“…Attempts to decipher the writing system have been unsuccessful for several reasons. Unlike the Linear B language (Mycenaean Greek), Minoan, the language hidden behind Linear A and still undeciphered, bears no apparent similarity to Greek, and any ‘translation’ of Linear A based provisionally on Linear B phonetic values has not produced any tangible result. …”
