Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have become much more relevant in recent years, mainly because they can be used in a wide diversity of applications. Real-time locating systems (RTLSs) are one of the most promising applications ...

Nowadays, indoor Real-Time Locating Systems represent one of the most exciting applications based on Wireless Sensor Networks using wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi or ZigBee. Indoor Real-Time Locating Systems based on ...

We present a singular value decomposition (SVD) filtering method for attenuation of the ground roll. Before the SVD computation, normal move-out (NMO) correction is applied to the seismograms, with the purpose of flattening ...

We present a new filtering method for the attenuation of ground-roll. The method is based on the application of a bi-dimensional filter for obtaining the time-derivative of the seismograms. Before convolving the filter ...

Fire is a fundamental ecological factor in savannas because it affects vegetation dynamics and ecosystem functioning. However, the effects of fire on below-ground compartments, including biomass and root traits, and their ...

Seedlings of co-occurring species vary in their response to resource availability and this has implications for the conservation and management of forests. Differential shade-tolerance is thought to influence seedling ...

Seismologists working on the reflection of seismic data have been dealing with noise and trying to attenuate noise as much as possible without damaging a particular signal. Many methods have been used to removenoise types, ...

Now spanning five simultaneous open-pit operations with exploration carried out through open pit benching, Carajás complex encompasses the world's largest iron reserves. Open pit mining operations in the area can lead to ...
