In various practical scenarios, autonomous vehicles must navigate through unfamiliar areas to reach their destinations.This navigation is facilitated by two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) maps.Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) systems enable autonomous vehicles to map their surroundings while in motion.Traditionally, SLAM sy
Distributed Generation (DG) integration into an existing electrical distribution system plays a great role in combating power system profile problems associated with load growth, overloading, lowquality of supply and non-reliability.Hence, there is a need to improve the technical benefits of DG integration by optimal sitting and sizing in a power s
The high-order ambiguity function (HAF) was introduced for the estimation of polynomial-phase signals (PPS) embedded in noise.Since the HAF is a nonlinear operator, it suffers from noise-masking effects and from the appearance of undesired cross-terms when multicomponents PPS are analyzed.In order to improve the performances of the HAF, the multi-l
The topography can be very important for passive microwave remote sensing of soil moisture due to its complex influence on the emitted brightness temperature observed by a satellite microwave radiometer.In this study, a methodology of using the first brightness Stokes parameter (i.e., the sum of vertical and horizontal polarization brightness tempe
