Potentials and Limitations of CDMA Networks for Combined Inter-Satellite Communication and Relative Navigation

Precision formation flying missions require formation acquisition and maintenance through the interactions among spacecraft by the inter-satellite communication and relative navigation. This paper analyses the dedicated system constraints of the network architecture for precision formation flying missions. The critical time issue and the...

Multi-scenario Model Predictive Control based on genetic algorithms for level regulation of open water systems under ensemble forecasts

Operational water resources management needs to adopt operational strategies to re-allocate water resources by manipulating hydraulic structures. Model Predictive Control (MPC) has been shown to be a promising technique in this context. However, we still need to advance MPC in the face of hydrological uncertainties. This study makes the first...

Identifying how future climate and land use/cover changes impact streamflow in Xinanjiang Basin, East China

Climate and land use/cover changes are the main factors altering hydrological regimes. To understand the impacts of climate and land use/cover changes on streamflow within a specific catchment, it is essential to accurately quantify their changes given many possibilities. We propose an integrated framework to assess how individual and...

Augmented Lagrangian relaxation-based coordinated approach for global synchromodal transport planning with multiple operators

Global synchromodal transportation is a promising strategy for providing efficient, reliable, flexible, and sustainable container shipping services across continents. It involves integrating multiple modes and routes owned by various operators to create a comprehensive transport plan. However, these operators often have their own local...
