Assessing movements of three buoy line types using DSTmilli Loggers: Implications for entanglements of bottlenose dolphins in the crab pot fishery

A study was conducted in October 2006 in the Charleston, South Carolina area to test the movements of three different buoy line types to determine which produced a preferred profile that could reduce the risk of dolphin entanglement. Tests on diamond-braided nylon commonly used in the crab pot fishery were compared with stiffened line of Esterpro and calf types in both shallow and deep water environments using DSTmilli data loggers. Loggers were placed at intervals along the lines to record depth, and thus movements, over a 24 hour period. Three observers viewed video animations and charts created for each of the six trial days from the collected logger data and provided their opinions on the most desirable line type that fit set criteria. A quantitative analysis (ANCOVA) of the data was conducted taking into consideration daily tidal fluctuations and logger movements. Loggers tracking the tides had an r2 value approaching 1.00 and produced little movement other than with the tides. Conversely, r2 values approaching 0.00 were less affected by tidal movement and influenced by currents that cause more erratic movement. Results from this study showed that stiffened line, in particular the medium lay Esterpro type, produced the more desirable profiles that could reduce risk of dolphin entanglement. Combining the observer’s results with the ANCOVA results, Esterpro was chosen nearly 60% of the time as opposed to the nylon line which was only chosen 10% of the time. ANCOVA results showed that the stiffened lines performed better in both the shallow and deep water environments, while the nylon line only performed better during one trial in a deep water set, most probably due to the increased current velocities experienced that day.

Programa de processamento de efemérides de satélites GPS: aplicação em posicionamento de satélites e posicionamento geodésico.

O emprego das técnicas de posicionamento de alta-precisão e de precisão, com recurso ao Sistema de Posicionamento Global, têm se consolidado como solução definitiva para a obtenção das coordenadas de pontos sobre a superfície terrestre, nas mais diversas aplicações, em particular aquelas envolvidas na realização do cadastro em áreas urbanas e construção da base de dados associada aos Sistemas de Informação Geográfica utilizados na gestão territorial. Os receptores GPS armazenam as informações dos satélites inicialmente em formato próprio, porém a maioria dos usuários não usa esse formato para trabalho, e sim o formato RINEX. Sendo este um formato importante ao trabalhar com GPS, os softwares proprietários que geralmente acompanham os receptores e fazem a transformação de seu formato próprio para o RINEX, processam as observáveis de forma exclusiva e fechada, não permitindo alteração de seu código-fonte (o que configura uma caixa preta). Este trabalho visa elaborar e implementar um programa com código-fonte aberto para leitura e manipulação de arquivos de efemérides transmitidas e precisas do Sistema de Posicionamento Global GPS e aplicá-lo ao posicionamento de satélites artificiais, e ainda realizar um estudo do comportamento do mesmo no posicionamento geodésico de pontos na superfície terrestre. Considerando-se que a posição terrestre dos satélites influencia diretamente no cálculo da posição de pontos sobre a superfície, esse estudo verifica que é possível obter coordenadas dos satélites a partir das efemérides transmitidas de forma coerente, e isto é feito utilizando-se o processamento que o programa faz ao manipular corretamente os arquivos RINEX. O programa implementado é capaz de lidar com os arquivos de formato RINEX e SP3, lendo, extraindo e utilizando informações para uma aplicação de posicionamento terrestre de satélites artificiais GPS, podendo ainda realizar outras aplicações como o posicionamento geodésico de pontos adaptando seu código-fonte para outros modelos. Esse programa poderá ser utilizado em benefício dos profissionais que atuam em diversas aplicações que envolvam o posicionamento geodésico por satélites, proporcionando flexibilidade de trabalho, pois o programa terá código-fonte aberto.

Localization and tracking of phonating finless porpoises using towed stereo acoustic data-loggers

Cetaceans produce sound signals frequently. Usually, acoustic localization of cetaceans was made by cable hydrophone arrays and multichannel recording systems. In this study, a simple and relatively inexpensive towed acoustic system consisting of two miniature stereo acoustic data-loggers is described for localization and tracking of finless porpoises in a mobile survey. Among 204 porpoises detected acoustically, 34 individuals (similar to 17%) were localized, and 4 of the 34 localized individuals were tracked. The accuracy of the localization is considered to be fairly high, as the upper bounds of relative distance errors were less than 41% within 173 m. With the location information, source levels of finless porpoise clicks were estimated to range from 180 to 209 dB re 1 mu Pa pp at 1 m with an average of 197 dB (N=34), which is over 20 dB higher than that estimated previously from animals in enclosed waters. For the four tracked porpoises, two-dimensional swimming trajectories relative to the moving survey boat, absolute swimming speed, and absolute heading direction are deduced by assuming the animal movements are straight and at constant speed in the segment between two consecutive locations.

A method for individual identification of echolocation signals in free-ranging finless porpoises carrying data loggers

Echolocation click events of a free-ranging juvenile and an adult finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) were recorded with an acoustic data logger. Additionally, dive depth and swim speed of the juvenile were recorded with a behavior data logger. Echoes of echolocation signals from the water surface were clearly detected in shallow dives approximately less than 2 m. The delay time between a surface echo and a direct signal corresponded with the two-way transmission time for the animal's depth, indicating that the signals originated from the animal wearing the data loggers. The finless porpoises produced echolocation signals frequently and were thought to be able to detect their depth by listening to echoes from the water surface. (C) 2000 Acoustical Society of America.

A 5.6-mW Power Dissipation CMOS Frequency Synthesizer for L1/L2 Dual-Band GPS Application

This paper presents a wide tuning range CMOS frequency synthesizer for dual-band GPS receiver, which has been fabricated in a standard 0.18-um RF CMOS process. With a high Q on-chip inductor, the wide-band VCO shows a tuning range from 2 to 3.6GHz to cover 2.45GHz and 3.14GHz in case of process corner or temperature variation, with a current consumption varying accordingly from 0.8mA to 0.4mA, from a 1.8V supply voltage. The measurement results show that the whole frequency synthesizer costs a very low power consumption of 5.6mW working at L I band with in-band phase noise less than -82dBc/Hz and out-of-band phase noise about -112 dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset from a 3.142GHz carrier.
