Oxygen and carbon isoscapes for the Baltic Sea : Testing their applicability in fish migration studies
2017
Conventional tags applied to individuals have been used to investigate animal movement, but these methods require tagged individuals be recaptured. Maps of regional isotopic variability known as “isoscapes” offer potential for various applications in migration research without tagging wherein isotope values of tissues are compared to environmental isotope values. In this study, we present the spatial variability in oxygen (δ18OH2O) and dissolved inorganic carbon (δ13CDIC) isotope values of Baltic Sea water. We also provide an example of how these isoscapes can reveal locations of individual animal via spatial probability surface maps, using the high-resolution salmon otolith isotope data fr…
Communication cost of channel estimation interpolation for group-based vehicular communications in cellular networks
2020
Las comunicaciones inalámbricas para aplicaciones vehiculares en sistemas celulares de quinta generación (5G) deben ser de baja latencia y alta fiabilidad. Entre otros factores, la cantidad de información de control que debe intercambiarse entre cada vehículo y la estación base puede penalizar la latencia de la comunicación. Varios casos de uso vehicular 5G implican comunicaciones dentro de grupos de vehículos, por ejemplo el pelotón de vehículos. Este trabajo se centra en explotar la estructura y características de este servicio vehicular particular basado en grupos para disminuir el intercambio de información de control relacionado con la etapa de estimación del canal necesaria para las c…
Application of Radio Environment Map Reconstruction Techniques to Platoon-based Cellular V2X Communications
2020
Vehicle platoons involve groups of vehicles travelling together at a constant inter-vehicle distance, with different common benefits such as increasing road efficiency and fuel saving. Vehicle platooning requires highly reliable wireless communications to keep the group structure and carry out coordinated maneuvers in a safe manner. Focusing on infrastructure-assisted cellular vehicle to anything (V2X) communications, the amount of control information to be exchanged between each platoon vehicle and the base station is a critical factor affecting the communication latency. This paper exploits the particular structure and characteristics of platooning to decrease the control information exch…
Uncontrolled methane emissions from a MSW landfill surface: Influence of landfill features and side slopes
2013
Sanitary landfills for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) disposal have been identified as one of the most important anthropogenic sources of methane (CH4) emissions; in order to minimize its negative effects on the environment, landfill gas (LFG) recovery is a suitable tool to control CH4 emissions from a landfill site; further, the measurement of CH4 emissions can represent a good way to evaluate the effectiveness of LFG recovering systems. In general, LFG will escape through any faults in the landfill capping or in the LFG collection system. Indeed, some areas of the capping can be more permeable than others (e.g. portions of a side slope), especially when considering a temporarily capped zone …
Comparative Analysis of Spatial Interpolation Methods in the Mediterranean Area: Application to Temperature in Sicily
2015
An exhaustive comparison among different spatial interpolation algorithms was carried out in order to derive annual and monthly air temperature maps for Sicily (Italy). Deterministic, data-driven and geostatistics algorithms were used, in some cases adding the elevation information and other physiographic variables to improve the performance of interpolation techniques and the reconstruction of the air temperature field. The dataset is given by air temperature data coming from 84 stations spread around the island of Sicily. The interpolation algorithms were optimized by using a subset of the available dataset, while the remaining subset was used to validate the results in terms of the accur…
Data from: Oxygen and carbon isoscapes for the Baltic Sea: testing their applicability in fish migration studies
2018
Conventional tags applied to individuals have been used to investigate animal movement, but these methods require tagged individuals be recaptured. Maps of regional isotopic variability known as “isoscapes” offer potential for various applications in migration research without tagging wherein isotope values of tissues are compared to environmental isotope values. In this study, we present the spatial variability in oxygen (math formula) and dissolved inorganic carbon (δ13CDIC) isotope values of Baltic Sea water. We also provide an example of how these isoscapes can reveal locations of individual animal via spatial probability surface maps, using the high-resolution salmon otolith isotope da…
