A measurement-based trajectory model for drifted motions towards a target zone

2016

Trajectory models have numerous applications in the area of wiewlwss communications. The aim of this paper is to develop an empirical trajectory model for drifted motions. Recently, a highly flexible trajectory model based on the primitives of Brownian fields (TramBrown) was proposed by A. Borhani and M. Patzold. This paper provides an empirical proof for TramBrown using global positioning system (GPS) data collected from real life user traces drifting to a particular target point or a zone. The recorded location coordinates of the mobile user are processed to compute the total travelling length and the angle-of-motion (AOM) along the drifted trajectory. It is shown that the probability den…

Caracterización de haces láser empleados en la industria

2012

Los láseres tienen numerosas aplicaciones. En estas aplicaciones es necesario utilizar sistemas ópticos para guiar y a veces transformar el haz láser. Para un correcto diseño de estos sistemas ópticos es fundamental, además de un conocimiento de las propiedades de propagación de los haces láser, el empleo de técnicas de caracterización de los mismos. Existe una serie de cuestiones que todavía no han sido investigadas suficientemente y que no son fenómenos de excepción, sino que se presentan en las aplicaciones cotidianas. Dos de estas cuestiones son: 1º El considerar a los haces láser utilizados en la industria que son monocromáticos cuando en la mayoría de los casos como por ejemplo, en lo…

Estudio integral de humedales altoandinos (andean peatlands) con Teledetección y SIG

2022

La Reserva de Producción de Fauna Chimborazo (RPFCH) es un ecosistema de alto valor situado en los andes ecuatorianos, ocupado en su mayor parte por turberas, también llamados bofedales o peatlands. El objetivo de esta tesis es el estudio de dichos ecosistemas a partir de una extensa base de datos de campo obtenida en 2016 y usando datos de teledetección óptica y radar y variables topográficas, ambientales y climáticas con SIG. Para ello se analizaron los mejores métodos para el cartografiado de los peatlands en la RPFCH, la estimación del carbono bajo el suelo (COS) en la capa 0-30 cm y la estimación del carbono almacenado en la vegetación calculado a partir de la biomasa. Como resultado s…

Static properties of end-tethered polymers in good solution: A comparison between different models

2004

We present a comparison between results, obtained from different simulation models, for the static properties of end-tethered polymer layers in good solvent. Our analysis includes data from two previous studies--the bond fluctuation model of Wittmer et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 101, 4379 (1994)] and the off-lattice bead-spring model of Grest and Murat [Macromolecules 26, 3108 (1993)]. Additionally, we explore the properties of a similar off-lattice model simulated close to the Theta temperature. We show that the data for the bond fluctuation and the Grest-Murat model can be analyzed in terms of scaling theory because chains are swollen inside the Pincus blob. In the vicinity of the Theta point th…

Binding and isomerization energies for the Cu/CN and Cu(I)CN interactions

1993

Abstract Binding and isomerization energies of the CuCN, CuNC, CuCN+, and CuNC+ systems were investigated by means of a multireference CI perturbatively selected, MRCI-PS approach. The inclusion of the main dynamical correlation effects are evaluated. The binding energies for CuCN and CuNC are 4.37 and 4.03 eV, respectively, and those for CuCN+ and CuNC+ are 0.08 and 1.61 eV. Calculated isomerization energies are 7.86 and 35.98 kcal/mol for CuCN and Cu(I)CN isomerizations, respectively.

Monte Carlo simulations are presented for binary (AB) symmetric polymer mixtures (chain lengths NANBN) for the case that an attractive interaction ϵ exists between monomers of the same kind, and the limiting case that one species (B) is very diluted. It is shown that with increasing interaction strength ϵ/(kB · T), T being the absolute temperature, the minority chains collapse to a very dense configuration, while the majority chains stay nearly Gaussian. Both chain radii, structure factors and numbers of nearest neighbour contacts are discussed.

Affinity Distributions of a Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Calculated Numerically by the Expectation-Maximization Method

2003

Affinity distributions are calculated from adsorption isotherm data obtained for the enantiomers of L- and D-phenylalanine anilide (PA) on native and thermally annealed polymers molecularly imprinted with L-PA. The calculation is obtained with an iterative algorithm called expectation-maximization that does not require prior fit of the data to an isotherm model before inversion and thus yields a distribution indicative of the data only. The results show bimodal distributions, suggestive of a two-site model describing relatively selective and nonselective adsorption modes of the L-enantiomer and a corresponding unimodal/nonselective adsorption mode for the D-enantiomer. The nonselective adso…

The molecular weight distribution (MWD) of a high polymer is calculated from a weakly perturbed Zimm-plot of the classical light scattering on dilute solutions of Gaussian polymer coils (theta state). A typical Zimm-plot is simulated corresponding to the measurements of high accuracy as would be obtained by using the laser photometer described by Hack and Meyerhoff. The accuracy as published by these authors for small dissymmetries is used. Two inversion procedures are described in detail and tested, both of them avoiding the use of an empirical formula for the Laplace image of the calculated MWD. A complete numerical analysis of the results is given. The results are compared with those of …

Evaluation of Hybrid Models to Estimate Chlorophyll and Nitrogen Content of Maize Crops in the Framework of the Future CHIME Mission

2022

In the next few years, the new Copernicus Hyperspectral Imaging Mission (CHIME) is foreseen to be launched by the European Space Agency (ESA). This mission will provide an unprecedented amount of hyperspectral data, enabling new research possibilities within several fields of natural resources, including the “agriculture and food security” domain. In order to efficiently exploit this upcoming hyperspectral data stream, new processing methods and techniques need to be studied and implemented. In this work, the hybrid approach (HYB) and its variant, featuring sampling dimensionality reduction through active learning heuristics (HAL), were applied to CHIME-like data to evaluate the…

Ferromagnetic exchange in a twisted, oxime-bridged [mniii2] dimer

2012

Journal article The dimeric complex [MnIII2(Naphth-sao)2(Naphth-saoH)2(MeOH)2][middle dot]4MeOH (1[middle dot]4MeOH), acts as a simple model complex with which to examine the magneto-structural relationship in polymetallic, oxime-bridged MnIII complexes. Dc magnetic susceptibility studies reveal that ferromagnetic exchange is mediated through the heavily twisted Mn-O-N-Mn moiety (J = +1.24 cm-1) with magnetisation measurements at low temperatures and high fields suggesting significant anisotropy. Simulations of high field, high frequency EPR data reveal a single ion anisotropy, D(MnIII) = -3.94 cm-1. Theoretical studies on simplified model complexes of 1 reveal that calculated values of the…
