    Ningthoujam, Ramesh K.; Balzter, Heiko; Tansey, Kevin; Morrison, Keith; Johnson, Sarah C. M.; Gerard, France; George, Charles; Malhi, Yadvinder; Burbidge, Geoff; Doody, Sam; Veck, Nick; Llewellyn, Gary M.; Blythe, Thomas; Rodriguez-Vega, Pedro; van Beijma, Sybrand; Spies, Bernard; Barnes, Chloe; Padilla-Parellada, Mark; Wheeler, James E. M.; Louis, Valentin; Potter, Tom; Edwards-Smith, Alexander; Polo Bermejo, Jamie (MDPI, 2016-07-20)
    Radar backscatter from forest canopies is related to forest cover, canopy structure and aboveground biomass (AGB). The S-band frequency (3.1–3.3 GHz) lies between the longer L-band (1–2 GHz) and the shorter C-band (5–6 ...
  • Airborne sand and dust soiling of solar collecting mirrors 
    Sansom, Christopher L.; Almond, Heather; King, Peter; Endaya, Essam; Bouaichaoui, Sofiane (AIP, 2017-06-27)
    The reflectance of solar collecting mirrors can be significantly reduced by sand and dust soiling, particularly in arid environments. Larger airborne sand and dust particles can also cause damage by erosion, again reducing ...
  • Airborne Separation Assurance Systems: towards a work programme to prove safety 
    Brooker, Peter (Elsevier, 2004-10)
    With Full Delegation Airborne Separation Assurance System (ASAS), separation control would be delegated to the (properly equipped) aircraft, i.e. aircraft pilots are responsible for aircraft separation. The aim is to try ...
  • The Airbus A320 family fan cowl door safety modification: a human factors scenario analysis
