Relativistic Effects in the Global Positioning System

The Global Positioning System (GPS) uses accurate atomic clocks in satellites and on the ground to provide world-wide position and time determination. These clocks have gravitational and motional frequency shifts which are so large that, without properly accounting for relativistic effects, the system would not work. As a practical matter, therefore, many individuals who use the GPS need to understand how relativistic effects accounted for in the system. This paper discusses relativistic effects arising from both special relativity and general relativity, and how these effects are incorporated in GPS operations. Two introductory sections on kinematics in special and general relativity, respectively, are followed by a section which describes how relativistic effects should be accounted for. The concept of synchroization in the Earth-Centered Inertial frame is discussed in detail. Numerical and experimental examples are given, showing the sizes of the various effects. The treatment of special and general relativity is sufficiently complete that a person should be able to follow the development without much reference to external material, except that a few standard results have been quoted from textbooks without derivation.

With the selected parameters of the stochastic process) the simulation resultsshow that there is the excellent agreement between the simulated SA error model and that of reallyapplied in GPS system.

Spatial Interaction Between the Industrial Undertaking Capacity and Global Value Chain Position of East Asian Countries

A comprehensive understanding of the spatial interaction between the industrial undertaking capability and the position of the global value chain of the 12 East Asian countries is conducive to strengthening regional cooperation, gaining a say in foreign trade and becoming the dominant player in the global division of labor system. The article reveals the operating rules of the interaction between the industrial undertaking capacity and the global value chain position of East Asian countries by calculating the Global Moran Index(Moran’s I), coupling coordination degree and other indicators. The results show that: in time, the values of industrial undertaking capacity and the positions of global value chain in East Asian countries showed a sustained and stable growth trend, and have a consistent trend of change. Spatially, both of the two indexes had significant positive spatial correlation, with Moran’s I showing an ‘inverted U’pattern, and the spatial aggregation distribution of global value chain position lagged behind the spatial aggregation distribution of industrial undertaking capacity by one year. In terms of spatial coupling coordination, the coupling coordination values of the two indicators show a steady upward trend. Combined with the comparative advantage of each country, this paper provides suggestions for promoting the positions of Chinese and other East Asian industries in the global value chain from the perspectives of enhancing independent innovation capability and upgrading industrial structure.

Outdoor position estimation based on a combination system of GPS-INS by using UPF

This paper proposes a technique that global positioning system(GPS)combines inertial navigation system(INS)by using unscented particle filter(UPF)to estimate the exact outdoor position.This system can make up for the weak point on position estimation by the merits of GPS and INS.In general,extended Kalman filter(EKF)has been widely used in order to combine GPS with INS.However,UPF can get the position more accurately and correctly than EKF when it is applied to real-system included non-linear,irregular distribution errors.In this paper,the accuracy of UPF is proved through the simulation experiment,using the virtual-data needed for the test.

Smart Grids(SG)is a power system development concept that has received significant attention nationally.SG signifies real-time data for specific communication requirements.The best capabilities for monitoring and controlling the grid are essential to system stability.One of the most critical needs for smart-grid execution is fast,precise,and economically synchronized measurements,which are made feasible by Phasor Measurement Units(PMU).PMUs can pro-vide synchronized measurements and measure voltages as well as current phasors dynamically.PMUs utilize GPS time-stamping at Coordinated Universal Time(UTC)to capture electric phasors with great accuracy and precision.This research tends to Deep Learning(DL)advances to design a Residual Network(ResNet)model that can accurately identify and classify defects in grid-connected systems.As part of fault detection and probe,the proposed strategy uses a ResNet-50 tech-nique to evaluate real-time measurement data from geographically scattered PMUs.As a result of its excellent signal classification efficiency and ability to extract high-quality signal features,its fault diagnosis performance is excellent.Our results demonstrate that the proposed method is effective in detecting and classifying faults at sufficient time.The proposed approaches classify the fault type with a precision of 98.5%and an accuracy of 99.1%.The long-short-term memory(LSTM),Convolutional Neural Network(CNN),and CNN-LSTM algo-rithms are applied to compare the networks.Real-world data tends to evaluate these networks.

Cycle slip detection approach based on time-relative positioning theory

An efficient cycle slip detection method is proposed for high precision positioning and navigation results with global positioning system （GPS）,which is based on the assumption of a high sampling interval, measurement errors are so small that they can be ignored in the temporal single difference observables. And ambiguities are ordinarily equal to zero,but could be the number of cycles that have ＂slipped＂ if loss-of-lock has occurred.Therefore,cycle slips are estimated as parameters of time-relative positioning observation equations.Because the temporal single difference observables are taken at different epochs and different stations with a single GPS receiver,if time-relative positioning observation equations are linearized as that of conventional relative positioning,the design matrix will be rank defective.To obtain a stable linearization scheme,time-relative positioning observation equations are further analyzed,and the concept of virtual measurement is applied.A sample of data collected on a vehicle test shows that a cycle slip detection approach based on time-relative positioning theory can detect slips at the value of one cycle.The results also indicate if two satellites are so near to each other that they have the same equivalent to satellite-receiver geometry,cycle slip detection will be difficult and may get wrong results.Cycle slips of different satellites also affect detection by satellite-receiver geometry.

Calibration of GNSS positioning receivers

Nowadays global navigation satellite system(GNSS)receivers are the primary tool not only for precision surveying but also for geodesy,geophysics and many other industrial applications worldwide.The only way to assure the accuracy,universality and longevity of GNSS measurements is by calibration of its receivers.The parameters affecting the calibration accuracy of a single GNSS receiver are discussed in this paper.And a geodetic basepoint is established according to previous empirical studies to serve as a reference for calibration.Additionally,the traceability to the systeme international(SI)unit of such kind of calibrations is discussed.Stability of the base point is also verified through long-term measurements over three years.Eventually,a calibration of a sample single GNSS receiver is performed and the uncertainty budget is derived.

Slip rate and interseismic coupling along the Moxi-Shimian segment of the Xianshuihe fault, Eastern Qinghai-Xizang Plateau

On September 5,2022,the Luding M6.8 earthquake occurred in the Moxi-Shimian segment of the Xianshuihe fault,coinciding with the historical ruptured zone of the 1786 Moxi earthquake.Its seis-mogenic environment provides a foundation for comprehending the mechanism of the earthquake and its future hazard.In the Moxi-Shimian segment,we establish a series of near-field Global Navigation Satellite Systems(GNsS)stations to enhance the spatial resolution of observational data for the inversion of the interseismic kinematic parameters.In this study,with an elastic screw dislocation model con-strained by GNsS observations,the slip rate of the Moxi-Shimian segment is estimated to be 10.9±1.0 mm/yr,while the locking depth is 15.7±6.2 km.Additionally,we utilize a block-dislocation model to invert the interseismic fault coupling along the Kangding-Moxi-Shimian segment.The result indicates a gradual deepening of the locking depth along the section from Kangding to Shimian.The coseismic rupture of the 2022 event occurred within the high coupling regions in the Kangding-Moxi-Shimian segment,which indicates that the rupture kinematics in this event might be controlled by the interseismic deformation.The seismic moment accumulated within the ruptured zone of the Luding earthquake since 1786 ranges in[1.42-3.40]×10^(19) N-m,which is significantly greater than the seismic moment released during the 2022 event.As a result,we infer that the Luding earthquake released only a portion of the accumulated energy within the original rupture zone since 1786,indicating that the 2022 event has not caused a complete rupture in the Moxi-Shimian segment.Consequently,there remains a substantial seismic hazard in this area.

Comparison of Accuracy of Two Global DEMs, and the Extracted DEM from the Topographic Map of the Tafilah Governorate

SRTM DEM （shuttle radar topographic mission digital elevation model） and ASTEMR DEM （advanced space-borne thermal emission and reflection radiometer digital elevation model） are now freely available in two resolutions： 90 m and 30 m. DEM is a computerized representation of the Earth＇s relief, and is used in many applications such as hydrology, climatology, geomorphology and ecology. There are some important differences in assessing the accuracy of digital elevation models for specific applications. The purpose of this study is to investigate the errors in digital elevation models obtained globally from DEMs 90 m, 30 m ground resolution, and the extracted DEM from a topographic map by digitized contour lines of 1：50,000 scale in a rugged mountainous region and a heterogeneous landscape, using KS （kernel smoothing） interpolation method. For validation purposes, datasets of 250-GCPs （ground control points） distributed over the study area were used to evaluate and compare the accuracy of the two global Dems and the DEM extracted from TM. The main results showed that the 30 m resolution global （DEM） is the most accurate one among the three. According to the validation results, SRTM with maximum （＋） and minimum （-） error elevation is -10_9. M, with mean deviation of KS is -0.00238667, and RMS （root-mean-square） error of 0.98, and currently the most accurate model is 30 m DEM of the study area with no significant differences compared with DEM 90 m.

IAE-adaptive Kalman filter for INS/GPS integrated navigation system

A marine INS/GPS adaptive navigation system is presented. GPS with two antenna providing vessel＇ s altitude is selected as the auxiliary system fusing with INS to improve the performance of the hybrid system. The Kalman filter is the most frequently used algorithm in the integrated navigation system, which is capable of estimating INS errors online based on the measured errors between INS and GPS. The standard Kalman filter （SKF） assumes that the statistics of the noise on each sensor are given. As long as the noise distributions do not change, the Kalman filter will give the optimal estimation. However GPS receiver will be disturbed easily and thus temporally changing measurement noise will join into the outputs of GPS, which will lead to performance degradation of the Kalman filter. Many researchers introduce fuzzy logic control method into innovation-based adaptive estimation adaptive Kalman filtering （IAE-AKF） algorithm, and accordingly propose various adaptive Kalman filters. However how to design the fuzzy logic controller is a very complicated problem still without a convincing solution. A novel IAE-AKF is proposed herein, which is based on the maximum likelihood criterion for the proper computation of the filter innovation covariance and hence of the filter gain. The approach is direct and simple without having to establish fuzzy inference rules. After having deduced the proposed IAEAKF algorithm theoretically in detail, the approach is tested by the simulation based on the system error model of the developed INS/GPS integrated marine navigation system. Simulation results show that the adaptive Kalman filter outperforms the SKF with higher accuracy, robustness and less computation. It is demonstra- ted that this proposed approach is a valid solution for the unknown changing measurement noise exited in the Kalman filter.

The measurement of time spent outdoors in child myopia research： a systematic review

The purpose of this article is to summarize the methods most commonly used to measure time spent outdoors and provide a comprehensive review of time and activity recording methods with the aim of encouraging the development of new methods. PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library were searched from Jan. 1st, 1990 to Aug. 31th, 2017. Studies including the following specific terms： “outdoor”, “outside”, “outdoor activity”, “outside activity”, “outdoor time”, “outside time”, and “outdoor AND measurement of time spent outdoors” were considered for this review. In total, three kinds of outdoor time measurements were discussed. Questionnaires have the longest history and are the most thoroughly revised instruments for assessing time spent outdoors, but recall bias is their most substantial drawback. Global positioning system （GPS） tracking can distinguish between indoor and outdoor locations, but its utility is limited due to several factors such as subject compatibility. Light exposure measurement devices are newly emerging, but all of these devices require good subject cooperation. Further efforts and exploration are needed to develop better methods and new tools to record exposure to the outdoors in real time. Moreover, inventing a new device by combining two or more types of devices mentioned above and using the latest technology of en ergy supplementation and autoswitching may make the best use of the advantages and bypass the disadvantages of each tool.

Influential nodes identification in complex networks based on global and local information

Identifying influential nodes in complex networks is essential for network robust and stability,such as viral marketing and information control.Various methods have been proposed to define the influence of nodes.In this paper,we comprehensively consider the global position and local structure to identify influential nodes.The number of iterations in the process of k-shell decomposition is taken into consideration,and the improved k-shell decomposition is then put forward.The improved k-shell decomposition and degree of target node are taken as the benchmark centrality,in addition,as is well known,the effect between node pairs is inversely proportional to the shortest path length between two nodes,and then we also consider the effect of neighbors on target node.To evaluate the performance of the proposed method,susceptible-infected(SI)model is adopted to simulate the spreading process in four real networks,and the experimental results show that the proposed method has obvious advantages over classical centrality measures in identifying influential nodes.
