Abstract DriveEmo-FL presents a privacy-preserving, radar-based emotion-recognition framework tailored for autonomous-vehicle (AV) cabins. Leveraging a compact embedded mmWave radar, the system captures upper-body emotio...

The design of a bistatic inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images simulator is described, as a response to the need of databases with classification purposes in bistatic radar scenarios characterized by numerous de...

After an earthquake, numerous buildings are destroyed, and the frequency of structural collapses increases significantly in regions lacking comprehensive geophysical surveys. Furthermore, the number of deaths increases d...

Abstract We present a new dataset comprising radar, Electrocardiography (ECG), respiration, and inertial measurement signal recordings from 23 individuals while performing a series of simulated harmful behaviors. This da...

A high accuracy of antenna beam pointing is essential for weather and cloud radars in order to precisely locate clouds and precipitation. It is also a critical requirement for estimating the horizontal wind field or retr...

Abstract In 2021, China’s first Mars rover Zhurong successfully landed on the southern Utopia Planitia (109.925°E, 25.066°N) and began its exploration. The low-frequency channel (15–95 MHz) of Mars Rover Penetrat...

The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission will advance global soil moisture monitoring through high-resolution L-band observations. However, accurate fine-scale retrieval remains challenging due to the 12-da...

Due to the limitation of lacking elevation resolution, ground-based interferometric radar suffers from serious layover problem when applied to building deformation monitoring. Ground-based tomographic arc-scanning synthe...

Abstract The rising demand for timber, alongside declining natural forests, has driven rapid growth of plantation forestry, especially smallholder woodlots in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite their increasing importance for l...

Background: We investigated factors related to pitching performance—defined by pitch velocity and accuracy—based on baseball experience, pitching workload, anthropometrics, and range of motion and strength (grip and ...

Abstract We present a first global high-resolution map (30 m x 30 m) of high-altitudinal wetlands in the world’s major mountain regions, i.e. the Andes, Rocky Mountains, Alps and High Mountain Asia. To map these we...

The transport industry has recently shown significant interest in unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), specifically for port and inland waterway transport. These systems can improve operational efficiency and safety, which ...

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is one of the primary sensing models and is broadly used in numerous remote sensing applications including environmental monitoring, maritime monitoring, and climate change research. Unfort...

Abstract The Old City Cemetery in Murfreesboro TN is a 3.5-acre cemetery site which encompasses the buried archaeological remains of the 1820 Old First Presbyterian Church and associated burial sites. To understand buria...

Extreme hydrometeorological events are an increasing concern in Central Europe, particularly in the European Alps, where they pose significant threats to ecological and socio-economic systems. Risk assessment and managem...

Abstract A two-year field experiment was conducted to quantify the influence of spatial configuration on soil organic acids, agronomic traits, competitive indices, and economic returns in faba bean-garlic intercropping. ...

In this study, the vertical distribution of particle shape (VDPS) method for retrieval of the vertical distribution of particle shapes and the identification of riming and aggregation processes is evaluated through compa...

Terrestrial evaporation ($E$) plays a crucial role in the water, energy, and carbon cycles and modulates climate change through multiple feedback mechanisms. While process-based models estimate $E$ using satellite-derive...

Abstract Background Climate change has caused more frequent and severe extreme weather events, threatening health system resilience worldwide. In April and May 2024, Kenya experienced unprecedented extensive floods with ...

This study presents an integrated geophysical approach for shallow subsurface characterization using seismic refraction and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) at the Florida Atlantic University Boca Preserve. A 240 m transec...

Soil erosion is a major environmental concern that affects land productivity and water quality. Although soil erosion is a serious global environmental challenge, understanding its potential influence in the Bardha Water...

Flood disasters, with high suddenness, wide impact and severe consequences, severely threaten ecological security, human lives, property and socioeconomic development. Optical remote sensing, though advantageous in spati...

Arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) like Marsabit and Isiolo Counties in Kenya face significant water scarcity, necessitating accurate mapping of surface water resources. Even with mostly dry and arid conditions in these re...

In this study, WTaNbMo refractory high-entropy alloy (RHEA) coatings were successfully fabricated on Inconel 718 substrate by laser cladding. Optimal coatings with superior comprehensive performances were systematically ...
