MIMO Antenna Polynomial Weighted Average Design Method of Downward-Looking Array SAR by Hui Liu, Qing Xu, Guowang Jin, Hongmin Zhang

“…The results proved the rationality and effectiveness of this array configuration by comparing the differences of 3D imaging results and the original simulation scene, counting mean and standard deviation of elevation reconstruction error eliminating the influence of shadow areas, and counting the probability of elevation reconstruction error within half a resolution of the whole scene and individual building area.…”

Encounter Analysis between Strong Wind and Rainstorm of Reservoir Based on Copula Functions by CAI Qilin, XU Danli, WANG Zhaoli, LAI Chengguang

“…The purpose of this study is to discuss the encounter problem between strong wind and rainstorm in the coastal reservoirs.The Dalongdong Reservoir,located in Taishan of Guangdong Province,was taken as a study case.The P-III,Gamma and GEV functions were used to fit the marginal distributions between three groups of rainfall extremes and one group of maximum wind speed sequence respectively.The values of different return period of the maximum wind speed and maximum rainfall in different periods were also analyzed by Archimedean Copula and Kendall function.The return periods of ‘or’,‘and’,and Kendall return period as well as the most likely design values of wind speed and rainfall were calculated.The results showed that the annual maximum daily rainfall showed a significant uptrend (p<0.05) while the yearly maximum wind speed showed a downtrend.The correlation between wind speed and rainstorm sequence was extremely weak while maximum wind speed had encountered the annual maximum rainfall during the analysis period.The values of wind speed and rainfall based on ‘or’,‘and’,and Kendall return period were smaller than that of univariate marginal distribution,while the values of “or” were larger than those with univariate marginal distribution.The elevation of main dam based on “or” joint distribution of 100a return period was larger than the actual elevation.Accordingly,this study suggested considering the encounter between strong wind and rainstorm when designing the elevation of reservoir dam in the future.…”

GNSS reflectometry from low-cost sensors for continuous in situ contemporaneous glacier mass balance and flux divergence by Albin Wells, David Rounce, Louis Sass, Caitlyn Florentine, Adam Garbo, Emily Baker, Christopher McNeil

“…Recent advances in remote sensing have produced global glacier surface elevation change data. Parsing these elevation change signals into contributions from the climate (i.e. climatic mass balance) and glacier dynamics (i.e. flux divergence) is critical to enhance our process-based understanding of glacier change. …”

Effect of intraocular pressure on the hemodynamics of the central retinal artery: A mathematical model by Giovanna Guidoboni, Alon Harris, Lucia Carichino, Yoel Arieli, Brent A. Siesky

“…The main goal of this paper is to develop a mathematical model that combines the mechanical action of IOP and the blood flow in the CRA to elucidate the mechanisms through which IOP elevation affects the CRA hemodynamics. Our model suggests that the development of radial compressive regions in the lamina cribrosa (a collagen structure in the optic nerve pierced by the CRA approximately in its center) might be responsible for the clinically-observed blood velocity reduction in the CRA following IOP elevation. …”
