Study on the application of IGSO into mobile satellite communication by ZHANG Geng-xin1, LI Su-dan2, GAN Zhong-min1

“…The related coverage performance,Doppler shift and service-supporting capability of the IGSO constellation was studied for the given area.The results show that,the constellation,which consists of two or three IGSO satellites,can achieve good coverage characteristics（the percent of time of one and more satellites coverage and average elevation an-gle）to the Chinese and nearby area with small Doppler shift.The link budget shows that,adopting IGSO can effectively solve the low elevation angle problem faced by GEO satellite,and similar performance,which can only be implemented by a very big GEO satellite,can be achieved by two or three relatively small IGSO satellites.So the solution of adopting IGSO to provide mobile satellite communication system is technically feasible.…”

Confidence interval estimation for the difference of censored zero-inflated gamma distributions by Hongping Guo, Yiran Zhu, Yuhang Qian, Min Wu

“…Furthermore, we conduct Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the performances of the proposed methods, the results indicate that all CI construction methods achieve satisfactory performances in terms of coverage probability, average length and tail error rates. Finally, we perform real data analysis using 11 years of precipitation data from Zhengzhou and Lhasa.…”

Determination and Application of Reasonable Levels for Highly Directional Long Boreholes in Deep Outburst Coal Seams by DangYu Zhang, MinBo Zhang, LongKang Wang, RuiPing Zeng, JinBao Wang

“…Field application shows that the high directional long borehole has the advantages of long extension distance and wide coverage, the average value of extraction mix is 34.3 m3/min, and the average value of extraction pure is 0.4 mm3/min, which helps to prevent the gas overlimit in the upper corner during the workface recovery. …”

Virtual fencing in remote boreal forests: performance of commercially available GPS collars for free-ranging cattle by Erik Versluijs, Morten Tofastrud, Anna Hessle, Robert Serrouya, Derek Scasta, Petter Wabakken, Barbara Zimmermann

“…Results The static tests revealed generally high fix success rates (% successful positioning attempts), and a lower success rate at four of 30 test locations was most likely due to a lack in GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) coverage. On average the GPS precision and accuracy errors were 3.3 m ± 2.5 SD and 4.6 m ± 3.2 SD, respectively. …”
