The recent dynamic behaviour of Karakoram glaciers is expected to differ from that shown by glaciers in the central and eastern Himalaya because of regional variations in precipitation and temperature trends. However, there are insufficient quantitative data to support or confute such hypotheses. We present velocity data covering the period 1993–2008 for Baltoro Glacier, one of the longest glac...

The present study evaluates the accuracy of Triangulation, Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and orthoimage generated by Cartosat-1 data by using Rational Polynomial Coefficient’s (RPC’s) provided with the Cartosat-1 satellite stereo (PAN) data. The study area is taken as Jaipur city, Rajasthan. The data acquired over Jaipur, on 18 May’ 2005 was analysed. The stereopair comprises of terrain ranging...

Within the NASA Aviation Systems Capacity Program, the Terminal Area Productivity (TAP) Project is addressing airport capacity enhancements during instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). The Airborne Information for Lateral Spacing (AILS) research within TAP has focused on an airborne centered approach for independent instrument approaches to closely spaced parallel runways using Differenti...

The purpose of this research was to develop a kind of light bar parallel guidance system based on DGPS for small agriculture machinery. This system consists of field computer, light bar and DGPS. The field computer is developed using PC/104 CPU module, running on which the embedded realtime operation system was customized by a special development tool. Single chip and CAN controller was selecte...

With advances in modern technology, fuel consumption will drop with a resulting decrease in state and federal income from motor fuel taxes, decreasing the revenue available to maintain and improve the transportation infrastructure. To keep pace with future transportation needs, a new funding mechanism is needed to supplement or replace the current road financing mechanism. One possible approach...

We develop a set of nonparametric rank tests for non-stationary panels based on multivariate variance ratios which use untruncated kernels. As such, the tests do not require the choice of tuning parameters associated with bandwidth or lag length and also do not require choices with respect to numbers of common factors. The tests allow for unrestricted cross-sectional dependence and dynamic hete...

The current GPS signal structure and signal power levels are barely sufficient for indoor applications. Recent developments in high sensitivity receiver technology are promising for indoor positioning inside light structures such as wooden frame houses but generally not for concrete high rise buildings. Errors due to multipath and noise associated with weak indoor signals limit the accuracy and...

This paper describes new Differential and RTK GPS/GLONASS correction service through the Internet. The DGPS correction services that are available in Japan at present can not satisfy all potential users. Most of their limitations related to the fact that they use radio broadcast for their service. We will provide new correction services through the Internet using server and client models with p...
