This review summarizes emerging LoC devices for the classification, measurement, and identification of airborne particles, especially those known as Particulate Matter (PM), which are linked to increased morbidity and mortality levels from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. For these devices, their operating principles and performance parameters are introduced and compared while highlighting their advantages and disadvantages.

The accuracy of the QDaedalus system was established by simultaneous parallel observations over two nights using the CODIAC system at the Zimmerwald Observatory. The differences between them were found to be 0.09″ and 0.02″ for the N-S and E-W DoV components, respectively. From these results, the accuracies of both DoV components can be interpreted as 0.1″. We also found a large systematic trend in the observed N-S DoV data at the HEIG-VD test station (0.008″/day). This study is the most extensive thus far for determining the precision and accuracy of the QDaedalus system for astrogeodetic measurements; it is also the first time that QDaedalus system’s accuracy has been established using parallel observations.","PeriodicalId":49459,"journal":{"name":"Survey Review","volume":"55 1","pages":"247 - 259"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43810317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) has been widely implemented to support information sharing and management in different domains. In this paper, we aim to identify critical factors to enhance SDI performance to facilitate Disaster Risk Management (DRM) in SIDS. We make use of a three-round Delphi survey and Kendall W coefficient to assess consensus among 28 key international experts in SDI, surveying and DRM. Our results illustrate strong experts’ consensus on identifying a list of 23 most critical factors. We found that people and policy factors matter the most.

To eliminate the influence of nonlinearity and non-stationarity, a hybrid forecast model was constructed that combines complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) and quadratic polynomial (QP), called CEEMD-QP. First, the SCB sequence is decomposed into several intrinsic mode function (IMF) components and one residual term by CEEMD. Second, permutation entropy (PE) and the correlation coefficient are used to quantitatively determine the IMF component with more noise and weak correlation with the original SCB signal. Finally, the SCB is reconstructed with the IMFs and residual components, and QP model is used to fit and forecast the clock bias. We adapt the observation part of ultra-rapid precise SCB data of GPS provided by IGS to forecast experiments. The results show that the CEEMD-QP method has obvious advantages of forecast accuracy and stability in short-term forecast.","PeriodicalId":49459,"journal":{"name":"Survey Review","volume":"55 1","pages":"127 - 136"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45286542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
