Single‐step geolocation for a non‐circular source in the presence of satellite orbit perturbations by Jiexin Yin, Ding Wang, Fuquan Nie, Nae Zheng

“…It exploits the non‐circular property of signals and a priori information of satellite orbit error distribution to jointly calibrate orbit errors and determine the longitude and latitude of the transmitter based on the ellipsoidal Earth model, which integrates an alternating iteration scheme for the estimation of various unknowns instead of the exhaustive grid search. …”

Regulatory mechanisms for underground waste disposal in Nigeria: review and implications for environmental management by Irwin Anthony Akpoborie

“…The review shows that in general, the design and materials specifications for injection wells, monitoring wells and landfills lack precision and as a result allow too much latitude in interpretation. Furthermore, the laws place inordinate reliance on waste facility owners to ascertain crucial parameters for example, well casing integrity and in the case of landfills, liner integrity which regulators do not have the capacity or resources to verify. …”

Migratory behaviour of humpback whales in the southeastern Pacific under climate change by Virginie Millien, Nicole Stafiej, Fernando Félix, Hector M. Guzman

“…Abstract Humpback whales, a species of baleen whale occurring in all oceans globally, undergo seasonal migration between their breeding grounds in tropical warm waters and high latitude feeding grounds. Using multiple years of satellite tracking data, we modeled the effect of oceanic conditions on the movement behaviour of 42 humpback whales belonging to the Southeastern Pacific population (also known as Breeding Stock G) during their migration from breeding grounds in Costa Rica, Panama and Ecuador to feeding grounds in waters around the Antarctic Peninsula. …”

Simulation Experiment Study on Impacting the δD Value of Aromatic Compounds by Yi Duan, Yingzhong Wu, Lantian Xing, Yingqin Wu, Yang Zhao, Zhongping Li, Lanhua Ma

“…Our simulation experiments showed that the δD value of pyrolytic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was significantly different between the studied samples from high and low latitude regions. Comparative studies showed that the δD values of PAHs produced by pyrolysis were related to those of water in the two regions. …”
