Tree rings provide an invaluable long-term record for understanding how climate and other drivers shape tree growth forest productivity. However, conventional tree-ring analysis methods were not designed to simultaneously test effects of climate, size, on individual growth. This has limited the potential ecologically relevant hypotheses sensitivity environmental their interactions with size. Here, we develop apply a new method model nonlinear primary drivers, reconstructed diameter at breast...
Human-piloted, remotely piloted, and autonomous aircraft are likely to share the air space in near future. Furthermore, density of traffic is increase as urban mobility package delivery operations become more prevalent. This paper discusses a collision avoidance approach based on velocity potentials: it scalable large numbers highly be easily interpretable for human pilots, passengers, bystanders. describes potential three dimensional uses Monte Carlo simulations examine (1) effect number...
In the very near future, our skies may be occupied with various types of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) assigned low-altitude missions. Given that uncrewed and crewed aircraft are expected to share same airspace, addressing passenger perceptions UAVs is crucial for maintaining confidence in air travel safety. Autonomous remotely piloted operating a human-integrated dense airspace must operate manner both safe easily predictable by human observers. this study, simulations UAV...
