High Performance Corrugated Feed Horns for Space Applications at Millimetre Wavelengths

We report on the design fabrication and testing of a set of high performance corrugated feed horns at 30, 70, and 100 GHz, built as advanced prototypes for the Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) of the ESA Planck mission. The electromagnetic designs include linear (100 GHz) and dual shaped (30 and 70 GHz) profiles. Fabrication has been achieved by direct machining at 30 GHz and by electro-formation at higher frequencies. The measured performances on side lobe and return loss meet the stringent Planck requirements over the large (20%) instrument bandwidth. Moreover, the advantage in terms of main lobe shape and side lobe levels of the dual profiled designs has been demonstrated. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

网络空间同位模式的加色混合可视化挖掘方法

同位模式挖掘是空间数据挖掘的热点问题之一,应用领域广泛。已有的同位模式挖掘方法一般采用统计或数据挖掘的方式,要求对复杂的数学公式、算法及相关参数等有深刻的理解,主要针对同质的欧式空间中地理现象。而城市空间中人为地理现象大多发生在网络空间,鉴于此,本文提出了一种网络空间同位模式可视化挖掘方法。该方法利用视觉语言表达网络空间现象之间的影响和交互作用。首先,利用网络空间核密度估计表达网络空间现象的分布情况和影响范围,为网络空间现象的同位模式挖掘提供支持,并建立单个地理现象分布情况与颜色之间的映射;然后基于色光加色混合原理获得两个地理现象相互影响的认知,借以挖掘空间同位模式。本文提出的方法属于形象思维,具有直观,形象和易感受等特点。     

Sharks caught in the KwaZulu-Natal bather protection programme,South Africa. 13. The tiger shark Galeocerdo cuvier

The current study provides long-term catch rate and biological data for tiger sharks Galeocerdo cuvier caught in the KwaZulu-Natal bather protection programme. Between 1978 and 2014, 1 760 G. cuvier were caught in nets and between 2007 and 2014, 108 G. cuvier were caught on drumlines. Standardised catch rates increased significantly over time (p < 0.001) for both small (≤180 cm precaudal length, PCL) and large sharks (>180 cm). There was also a significant temporal increase in the mean size of sharks across gear types (p < 0.001). A quasi-Poisson generalised additive mixed model showed that the deployment of drumlines had no significant effect on the catch rate of sharks in nets. The nets, however, caught significantly larger sharks (mean 184.5 cm, SD 39) than did drumlines (mean 138.6 cm, SD 36.5; p < 0.001). The size frequency of the catch was unimodal and females significantly outnumbered males in both gear types. Few young-of-the-year (0.8%) or mature sharks (1.8%) were caught. Only 23 (4.7%) of the 486 sharks tagged and released were recaptured, with the majority (87.0%) of those recaptured <150 km from their original tagging locality. The results from this study suggest an increasing local population trend in G. cuvier along the KwaZulu-Natal coast.     

Modelling the standing timber volume of Baden-Württemberg—A large-scale approach using a fusion of Landsat,airborne LiDAR and National Forest Inventory data

Remote sensing-based timber volume estimation is key for modelling the regional potential, accessibility and price of lignocellulosic raw material for an emerging bioeconomy. We used a unique wall-to-wall airborne LiDAR dataset and Landsat 7 satellite images in combination with terrestrial inventory data derived from the National Forest Inventory (NFI), and applied generalized additive models (GAM) to estimate spatially explicit timber distribution and volume in forested areas. Since the NFI data showed an underlying structure regarding size and ownership, we additionally constructed a socio-economic predictor to enhance the accuracy of the analysis. Furthermore, we balanced the training dataset with a bootstrap method to achieve unbiased regression weights for interpolating timber volume. Finally, we compared and discussed the model performance of the original approach (r² = 0.56, NRMSE = 9.65%), the approach with balanced training data (r² = 0.69, NRMSE = 12.43%) and the final approach with balanced training data and the additional socio-economic predictor (r² = 0.72, NRMSE = 12.17%). The results demonstrate the usefulness of remote sensing techniques for mapping timber volume for a future lignocellulose-based bioeconomy.
