Role of Tie Points in Integrated Sensor Orientation for Photogrammetric Map Compilation

Direct measurement of exterior orientation parameters has been a challenge in photogrammetry for many years. Direct sensor orientation using a calibrated GPS/INS system can potentially eliminate the need for ground control points and aerial tiiangulation, and consequently, result in a great reduction in the cost and time of aerial photogrammetry...

Impact of early applied upper limb stimulation: The EXPLICIT-stroke programme design

Main claims of the literature are that functional recovery of the paretic upper limb is mainly defined within the first month post stroke and that rehabilitation services should preferably be applied intensively and in a task-oriented way within this particular time window. EXplaining PLastICITy after stroke (acronym EXPLICIT-stroke) aims to...

Importance of demand modelling in network water quality models: A review

Today, there is a growing interest in network water quality modelling. The water quality issues of interest relate to both dissolved and particulate substances. For dissolved substances the main interest is in residual chlorine and (microbiological) contaminant propagation; for particulate substances it is in sediment leading to discolouration....

EXIT Chart Analysis of Iterative Demodulation and Decoding of MPSK Constellations with Signal Space Diversity

Bit interleaved coded modulation (BICM) schemes have been shown to increase the diversity order. This paper studies the extension of such schemes with iterative demodulation and decoding (ID) using error correcting codes coupled with rotated MPSK signal constellations with different symbol mappings and signal space diversity (SSD). Using...

Removal of both dissolved and particulate iron from groundwater

Iron is the primary source for discolouration problems in the drinking water distribution system. The removal of iron from groundwater is a common treatment step in the production of drinking water. Even when clear water meets the drinking water standards, the water quality in the distribution system can deteriorate due to settling of iron ...

Assessing Management Regimes in Transboundary River Basins: Do They Support Adaptive Management?

River basin management is faced with complex problems that are characterized by uncertainty and change. In transboundary river basins, historical, legal, and cultural differences add to the complexity. The literature on adaptive management gives several suggestions for handling this complexity. It recognizes the importance of management regimes...

Shifting Sense: Looking back to the Future in Spatial Planning

The contents and approaches of spatial planning have changed drastically in the last three decades. Shifting Sense describes these dynamics and identifies important themes for the future. Thirty contributors from different universities and from the professional field offer their expertise and views. Shifting Sense presents Spatial Planning and...
