The expansion of urban areas and associated clearing of habitat can have severe consequences for native wildlife. One option for managing wildlife in these situations is to relocate them. While there is a general perception that relocation is humane, transparency of outcomes is lacking. Here, we document the outcome of 122 western grey kangaroos (Macropus fuliginosus) relocated from an urban development site on the edge of Perth, Western Australia. Global Positioning System (GPS) or Very High Frequency (VHF) collars were fitted to 67 kangaroos, and their survival and movement were monitored over 12 months using telemetry, camera traps and spotlighting. Only six collared animals survived for the duration of the study with most dying within a week of the relocation, indicating stress associated with capture as the likely cause. By the completion of the study, 111 kangaroos were predicted to have died based on the proportion of individuals known to have died. Movement patterns of surviving GPS collared kangaroos changed over time from largely exploratory forays, to more repeated movements between focus areas within home ranges. The poor outcome here raises concerns around the viability of relocating a relatively large number of kangaroos as a management option. It also highlights the need for careful planning to limit the stress associated with capture and transport if relocations are to be used for managing kangaroos in urban areas.

Biologists can equip animals with global positioning system (GPS) technology to obtain accurate (less than or equal to 30 m) locations that can be combined with sensor data to study animal behaviour and ecology. We provide the background of GPS techniques that have been used to gather data for wildlife studies. We review how GPS has been integrated into functional systems with data storage, data transfer, power supplies, packaging and sensor technologies to collect temperature, activity, proximity and mortality data from terrestrial species and birds. GPS ‘rapid fixing’ technologies combined with sensors provide location, dive frequency and duration profiles, and underwater acoustic information for the study of marine species. We examine how these rapid fixing technologies may be applied to terrestrial and avian applications. We discuss positional data quality and the capability for high-frequency sampling associated with GPS locations. We present alternatives for storing and retrieving data by using dataloggers (biologging), radio-frequency download systems (e.g. very high frequency, spread spectrum), integration of GPS with other satellite systems (e.g. Argos, Globalstar) and potential new data recovery technologies (e.g. network nodes). GPS is one component among many rapidly evolving technologies. Therefore, we recommend that users and suppliers interact to ensure the availability of appropriate equipment to meet animal research objectives.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to examine the physical demands imposed on professional soccer players during 11-a-side friendly matches in relation to their playing position, using global positioning system (GPS) technology. One hundred and eleven match performances of a Spanish “La Liga” team during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 pre-seasons were selected for analysis. The activities of the players were monitored using GPS technology with a sampling frequency of 1 Hz. Total distance covered, distance in different speed categories, accelerations, and heart rate responses were analyzed in relation to five different playing positions: central defenders (n=23), full-backs (n=20), central midfielders (n=22), wide midfielders (n=26), and forwards (n=20). Distance covered during a match averaged 10.8 km, with wide and central midfielders covering the greatest total distance. Specifically, wide midfielders covered the greatest distances by very high-intensity running (>19.8 km·h-1) and central midfielders by jogging and running (7.2-19.7 km·h-1). On the other hand, central defenders covered the least total distance and at high intensity, although carried out more (p<0.05-0.01) accelerations than forwards, wide midfielders, and fullbacks. The work rate profile of the players obtained with the GPS was very similar to that obtained with semi-automatic image technologies. However, when comparing results from this study with data available in the literature, important differences were detected in the amount of distance covered by sprinting, which suggests that caution should be taken when comparing data obtained with the GPS with other motion analysis systems, especially regarding high-intensity activities.

The Niigata Ken Chuetsu earthquake reconnaissance provided an opportunity to test several advanced data collection technologies, including light detection and ranging, global positioning system data linked to photos and video, very high resolution satellite imagery, geographic information systems, and Internet map servers. The experience gained showed that these technologies offer the engineering community valuable data both in the field and afterward if properly deployed. Information technology solutions should either aid in the reconnaissance itself or be easy to use in the field. Standards and best practices are needed for deploying advanced technologies within the challenging framework of field reconnaissance.

Wilayah perkotaan di Indonesia memiliki karakteristik yang sama dengan wilayah perkotaan di negara-negara berkembang. Beberapa karakteristik tersebut seperti: (1) penurunan fungsi alam dengan berkurangnya ruang hijau atau vegetasi, (2) penumpukan bangunan beratap pada wilayah yang dekat dengan akses transportasi, industri dan pasar, (3) lokasi pemukiman pada zona yang berbahaya karena dekat dengan terminal, sepanjang aliran sungai, sepanjang jalur rel kereta api, dan tempat pembuangan sampah akhir. Keterkaitan antara nilai indeks kemiskinan dengan morfologi fisik dan vegetasi suatu wilayah dapat diketahui dengan pemanfaatan teknologi remote sensing (RS). Keakuratan analisis pemukiman miskin dengan teknologi RS bergantung pada kualitas citra satelit Very High Resolution (VHR) dan kelengkapan dataset Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG). Teknologi Geospasial yang terintegrasi seperti RS, SIG, dan Global Positioning System (GPS) dapat berkontribusi secara interaktif dalam penilaian, pemahaman dan pemetaan untuk memecahkan masalah pemukiman penduduk yang kompleks di Indonesia. Urban areas in Indonesia have the same characteristics with urban areas in developing countries. Some characteristics such as: (1) decreased of the function of nature with the reduced the number of natural green space or vegetation, (2) accumulation of roofed buildings in the area close to transportation access, industry and market, (3) the location of housing in the dangerous zone as close to the terminal, along the river side, along the railway lines, and the final waste disposal sites. The linkage between poverty index values with the physical morphology and vegetation of an area can be identified by the use of technology and remote sensing (RS). The accuracy of the analysis of poor housing with RS technology relies on the image quality of Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite and the completeness of the dataset Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Geo-spatial technologies are integrated as RS, GIS, and Global Positioning System (GPS) can contribute interactively in the assessment, understanding and mapping to solve the complex problem of residential in Indonesia.

Signals broadcasted by Global Positioning System are a good solution for aircraft navigation in remote areas where conventional ground‐based navigation means do not exist. In the world of avionics, more and more navigation guidance systems based on GPS are being developed. Very high claims in terms of accuracy, reliability, and integrity are required for such systems. But GPS alone cannot satisfy these requirements. For this reason, augmentation systems have been designed, which along with GPS receivers form state‐of‐the‐art navigation systems.

Parameter Prediction

The acquisition stage in global positioning system receivers provides a coarse estimation of the Doppler shift and the code phase of the incoming signals. The accuracy of the estimation, especially the Doppler shift, greatly influences the subsequent tracking loops. Based on the parameter prediction and the chirp z-transform algorithm, a novel acquisition approach to acquire the Doppler shift accurately is proposed. The code phase and the Doppler shift are predicted first according to the desired trajectory of the vehicle and satellite ephemeris. Then, frequency refinement of the code-stripped signal is conducted within a small interval around the predicted Doppler shift by using the chirp z-transform algorithm. To reduce the computational load, the data sequence is down-sampled with an integrate and dump accumulator without degrading the performance of the proposed algorithm. Results indicate that, with only 1 ms sampled data, the proposed algorithm can achieve a high-frequency accuracy. Besides, the proposed algorithm can acquire signals with the carrier-to-noise ratio down to 31 dB-Hz.

Purpose: To compare the running demands and match activity profiles of international and provincial rugby sevens players. Participants: 84 rugby sevens players, consisting of 16 international players from 1 team and 68 provincial players from 8 teams. Methods: Global positioning system analysis was completed during international and provincial tournament matches. Video analysis was also used to quantify the individual match activities during tournament matches. Results: Trivial to moderate differences were found in the running demands of international and provincial players, with internationals covering a greater distance at very high speed (ES = 0.30) and performing a greater number of sprints (ES = 0.80). Small differences were found between the 2 levels in all but total tackles (ES = 0.07) and defensive ruck effectiveness (ES = 0.64). International matches incurred a greater overall ball-in-play time than provincial matches (proportion ratio = 1.32). Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that both physical and technical factors distinguish international and provincial rugby sevens, although overall match demands are similar.
