Ultra-Wideband for Communications: Spatial Characteristics and Interference Suppression
… performance. This thesis investigates the spatial characteristics of the channel based on measurements conducted using UWB pulses in an indoor office environment. The statistics of the received signal energy illustrate the low spatial fading of UWB signals. The distribution of the Angle of …

Fish Vocalisation: Understanding its biological role from temporal and spatial characteristics
In the shallow coastal waters of New Zealand, sounds of biological origin dominate the lower frequency spectrum of the underwater soundscape. While the sounds of urchin and snapping shrimp have been well described, those of fish are poorly understood. Utilising sound recordings taken from a reef in …

An evaluation of sea ice deformation and its spatial characteristics from the regional arctic system model
… atmosphere, sea ice, and ocean model with high spatial and temporal resolution. Time series analysis of the upper ocean temperature structure, basal melt rate, total deformation rate, and ice-ocean stress curl yield the identification of individual events. Shear deformation events generate an …

Spatial characteristics of the remotely-sensed surface urban heat island in Baton Rouge, LA: 1988-2003
… quantity of high-quality, high-resolution (both spatially and temporally) observations in cities. Using remotely-sensed data, this study analyzes urban heat islands (UHI) that are manifested through an elevation in the surface thermal emissions within urban regions known as surface heat islands …

Spatial Characteristics of Paleochannels in Association with the Mississippian/Pennsylvanian Systematic Boundary in Western and South-Central Kentucky
The basal Pennsylvanian Caseyville Formation of south-central Kentucky includes an extensive network of paleochannels, which unconformably overlie various Mississippian (Chesterian Series) rocks. Questions have been raised about the extent and orientation of paleochannels and the systemic boundary …

Spatial characteristics that create & sustain functional encounters: a new three-layered model for unpacking how street markets support urbanity
… provides a conceptual link between the physical characteristics of space, its ability to support differences, and the encounters that take place within it. Previous writings on urbanity have explored a variety of urban spaces but this study is the first to focus on street markets. Using …

Built space
This thesis explores the spatial qualities of built environments through observation and design. Recognition that we move through our environment should be reflected in the space we design. Where applicable, a series of sequential sketches are used to observe/design the spatial variety of places …

Evaluation of the difference between two spatiotemporal random fields
Comparing the spatial characteristics of spatiotemporal random fields is often in demand in various fields of study. Especially in climatology, people are interested in learning the difference between the synthetic climate simulation model and climate field reconstructions (CFR) which are estimates …
