An Efficient 2-D DOA Estimation for a Cylindrical Conformal Array with Unknown Mutual Coupling by Chao Liu, Shunian Yin

“…To avoid the time-consuming two-dimensional spectral peak searching, the 2-D DOA estimation is decoupled and divided into two 1-D DOA estimations. Elevation is first estimated based on a subarray estimation of signal parameters via rotation invariant technique (ESPRIT), and then azimuth is estimated based on the rank reduction (RARE) method by using the elevation estimation result. …”

Tropical Hardwood Hammocks in Florida by Annisa Karim, Martin B. Main

“…Later, settlers of Florida used the word “hummock” to indicate areas that were slightly higher in elevation from the rest of the land. Today, the term hammock is used in Florida to describe forest habitats that are typically higher in elevation than surrounding areas and that are characterized by hardwood forests of broad-leaved evergreens. …”

3D channel modeling and space-time correlation analysis for V2V communications by Wenbo ZENG, Yigang HE, Bing LI, Guolong SHI, Feng ZHAO

“…To match complex wireless propagation scenarios,an improved 3D geometry-based stochastic model was proposed for vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communications channel.The exact relationship between the azimuth angle and elevation angle was taken into account and the corresponding space–time correlation function and space–Doppler power spectral density were derived,and the influence of important factors was analyzed.The observations and conclusions show that correlation characteristics is closely related to distribution of the scatterers and the angle of the antenna array under the non-isotropic scattering environment and is affected by the elevation angle of the antenna array under the isotropic scattering environment.And the space-time correlation characteristics in high vehicular traffic density is significantly lower than that in low vehicular traffic density.The corresponding simulation model is also derived by using a reasonable parameter calculation method.The simulation results validate the rationality of proposed model.It greatly improves analysis and simulation efficiency of V2V MIMO system.…”

Ecological Sensitivity Analysis of Beihai City Based on GIS and RS by LI Xiaorong, XIE Yuting, LIU Ping

“…In this paper,five factors influencing ecological sensitivity were selected by using GIS and RS technologies,including land use/cover change (LUCC),normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI),elevation,aspect,and water buffer in land area of Beihai City,and the ecological sensitivity evaluation of single factor in the study area was carried out by using the ecological factor scoring method.The weighted superposition method was used to comprehensively evaluate the ecological sensitivity,and the study area was divided into the non-sensitive area,slightly sensitive area,moderately sensitive area,and highly sensitive area.The results show that the ecological sensitivity of the study area decreases from east to west and from north to south.The sum of the non-sensitive area and the slightly sensitive area is 64.30%,and the two areas are mainly distributed in the southwest,with an elevation below 30 m and relatively underdeveloped river networks.The moderately sensitive area accounts for 29.88% and is mainly distributed in Hepu County;the highly sensitive area accounts for 5.82% and is mainly distributed in the northeast mountainous area.The research results can provide a theoretical basis for ecological environment protection,green development,and rational land use planning in Beihai City.…”
