State Variation in Railroad Wheat Rates
"... Wheat shippers in the Central Plains states have no cost effective transportation alternative to railroads. Wheat produced in these areas moves long distances to domestic processing and consumption locations or to ports for export. Wheat shippers in the Great Plains don’t have ..."

Great Circle Distance Methode for Improving Operational Control System Based on GPS Tracking System
"... Abstract—Fleet monitoring conducted to determine the position of the movement of the fleet to a point of reference. There are three applications that are necessary for the implementation of the monitoring system. They are Global Positioning System (GPS), Geographic Information System (GIS) and Globa ..."

) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technologies. The Great Circle Distance method with two equations, Vincenty and Haversine, is used to calculate the accurate positioning. The experiment results show that the use of the equation Vincenty have better performance in comparison to Haversine
The effect of smooth tracking and saccadic eye movements on the perception of size: The shrinking circle illusion. Vision Research
, 1975
"... Abstract-An illusory distortion is described in which the apparent diameter of the path of a target moving in a circle appears contracted at intermediate speeds. The apparent reduction of path diameter is highly correlated with smooth pursuit behaviour of the eye, and the distortion disappears with ..."

with the emergence of saccadic movements at higher speeds. In the absence of tracking eye movement the magnitude of the distortion is greatly reduced. These data are discussed in terms of a possible interaction between smooth pursuit and saccadic eye movements in the perception of size, and.possible differences
How Well Can Animals Navigate? Estimating the Circle of Confusion from Tracking Data
, 2005
"... Summary. State-space models have recently been shown to eectively model animal movement. In this paper we illustrate how such models can be used to improve our knowledge of animal navigation ability, something which is poorly understood. This work is of great interest when modeling the behav-ior of ..."

Closing the Circle: Restoring the Seasonal Round to the Ceded Territories
"... For thousands of years, the original inhabitants of North America met their needs for sustenance from the lands and waters stretching from the Gulf of Mexico, north to the Arctic Ocean. The multitude of cultural adaptations manifest in the land masses of the New World would change dramatically in th ..."

. In this brief retrospective, we examine resource management in the ceded territories over the past quarter-century to see if implementation of the treaty-guaranteed rights in the upper Great Lakes region is on track to restoring the seasonal round essential to the cultural awareness of the Chippewa. We do
2003: Analog ensemble forecasts of tropical cyclone tracks in the Australian region
- Wea. Forecasting
"... Tropical cyclone tracks in the Australian basin are predicted by an analog ensemble forecast model. It is self-adapting in its search of optimal ensemble members from historic cyclone tracks by creating a metric that minimizes the error of the ensemble mean forecast. When compared with the climatolo ..."

with the climatology–persistence reference model, the adapted analog forecasts achieve great-circle errors that improve the reference model by 15%–20%. Ensemble mean forecast errors grow almost linearly with ensemble spread. 1.

Furthermore, we also recognized that there was an imminent demand for academic circles to identify that which was essential in putting the disposal of disaster waste back on track, particularly in Iwate and Miyagi Prefectures. We considered it very important for us
SIMULATION, DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF MOBILE WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS FOR MIGRATORY BIRD TRACKING

TRANSITION CURVES SHAPING IN A ROAD ENGINEERING
"... The theory of shaping a transition curves which have employment in road and railroads is object of consideration in professional literature still. Can seem, that solutions existing in the form circled arch, clothoid and cubical parabola do not make fields for new research and investigation. It is po ..."

In literature concerning roads as a transition curve applies clothoid from straight line to circled arch most often, in railroads – cubical parabola. In railroads are applied small angels of switch in final point of transition curves
