description: Reliable point cloud data is essential for perception tasks \textit{e.g.} in robotics and autonomous driving applications. Adverse weather causes a specific type of noise to light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor data, which degrades the quality of the point clouds significantly. To address this issue, this letter presents a novel point cloud adverse weather denoising deep learning algorithm (4DenoiseNet). Our algorithm takes advantage of the time dimension unlike deep learning adverse weather denoising methods in the literature. It performs about 10\% better in terms of intersection over union metric compared to the previous work and is more computationally efficient. These results are achieved on our novel SnowyKITTI dataset, which has over 40000 adverse weather annotated point clouds. Moreover, strong qualitative results on the Canadian Adverse Driving Conditions dataset indicate good generalizability to domain shifts and to different sensor intrinsics.

description: The next-generation CMB satellite missions are expected to provide robust constraints on a wide range of cosmological parameters with unprecedented precision. But these constraints on the parameters could weaken if we do not attribute dark energy to a cosmological constant. The cosmological models involving interaction between dark energy and dark matter can give rise to comparable energy densities at the present epoch, thereby alleviating the so-called cosmic coincidence problem. In the present paper, we perform a forecast analysis to test the ability of the future generation high-sensitive Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), and Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) experiments to constrain phenomenological interacting dark energy models. We consider cosmic variance limited future CMB polarization experiment PICO along with BAO information from the DESI experiment to constrain the parameters of the interacting dark sector. Based on the stability of the cosmological perturbations, we consider two possibilities for the interaction scenario. We investigate the impact of both the coupling constant and the equation of state parameter of dark energy on the CMB temperature power spectrum, matter power spectrum, and $fσ_8$. We have used simulated temperature and polarization data from PICO within the multipole ranges ($\ell = 2 - 4000$), and as expected, we do see PICO alone produces better constraints than Planck on the $Λ$CDM parameters. With the integration of the PICO and DESI missions, we observe a significant improvement in the constraints on several cosmological parameters, especially the equation of state parameter of dark energy. However, we note that additional data is required to constrain a small positive coupling constant.

description: A possible explanation for the apparent phase stability of the 11.07-year Schwabe cycle of the solar dynamo was the subject of a series of recent papers. The synchronization of the helicity of an instability with azimuthal wavenumber m=1 by a tidal m=2 perturbation played a key role here. To analyze this type of interaction in a paradigmatic set-up, we study a thermally driven Rayleigh-Bénard Convection (RBC) of a liquid metal under the influence of a tide-like electromagnetic forcing. As shown previously, the time-modulation of this forcing emerges as a peak frequency in the m=2 mode of the radial flow velocity component. In this paper we present new numerical results on the interplay between the Large Scale Circulation (LSC) of a RBC flow and the time modulated electromagnetic forcing.

description: Исследование основано на предположении о том, что письмо остаётся основным средством антропологической коммуникации. Статья посвящена рассмотрению трёх важных нарративов о рижском тексте: «Хвала славной Риге – матери городов ливонских Базилия Плиния Ливонского из Риги» (1595), «Рига, или песня о Риге и её жизни» (1860) М. Рейнбергса и Э. Динсбергса, а также первая часть – «Патриоты» (1912) – исторического романа А. Деглава «Рига», в которой рассказывается о культурно-историческом становлении Риги как будущего университетского города и столицы Латвийского государства. Мифологический фольклор, рижский мотив в поэме «Медведеубийца» и современная латышская поэзия были исследованы с точки зрения анализа происхождения и восприятия образа Риги. Автор показывает, что в тематических рамках рижской образности ключевую роль играет именно лингвистический аспект. Гендер рассматривается как понятие, связанное не с основанной на гендерных различиях социальной организацией или политикой гендерного равенства, а, прежде всего, в связи с современными социальными науками. В рассмотренных текстах Рига представлена в образном смысле, что более ярко подчёркивает воображаемую идентичность города, которая является женской гендерной персонификацией. С одной стороны, Рига показана как город, предназначенный быть центром национальных устремлений латышского народа. С другой стороны, с момента своего возникновения Рига была и остаётся многонациональным городом, в котором проживают немцы, русские, евреи, литовцы, эстонцы и представители других национальностей. В общем автор отмечает, что Рига предстаёт как совершенно неоднозначное и противоречивое интертекстуальное культурное явление.

description: We present new spectroscopic observations in a field containing the highest redshift cluster of the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS). We measure galaxy redshifts and determine the velocity dispersions of the galaxy structures located in this field. Together with the main cluster Cl1103.7$-$1245 (z=0.9580; sigma_{clus} = 522 +/- 111 km/s) we find a secondary structure at z=0.9830, Cl1103.7-1245c. We then characterize the galaxy properties in both systems, and find that they contain very different galaxy populations. The cluster Cl1103.7-1245 hosts a mixture of passive elliptical galaxies and star-forming spirals and irregulars. In the secondary structure Cl1103.7-1245c all galaxies are lower-mass star-forming irregulars and peculiars. In addition, we compare the galaxy populations in the Cl1103.7-1245 z=0.9580 cluster with those in lower redshift EDisCS clusters with similar velocity dispersions. We find that the properties of the galaxies in Cl1103.7-1245 follow the evolutionary trends found at lower redshifts: the number of cluster members increases with time in line with the expected growth in cluster mass, and the fraction of passive early-type galaxies increases with time while star-forming late types become less dominant. Finally, we find that the mean stellar masses are similar in all clusters, suggesting that massive cluster galaxies were already present at z~1.

description: We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of a pseudoscalar axion-like particle (ALP) weakly coupled to degrees of freedom in thermal equilibrium by obtaining its reduced density matrix. Its time evolution is determined by the in-in effective action which we obtain to leading order in the (ALP) coupling but to \emph{all orders} in the couplings of the bath to other fields within or beyond the standard model. The effective equation of motion for the (ALP) is a Langevin equation with noise and friction kernels obeying the fluctuation dissipation relation. A ``misaligned'' initial condition yields damped coherent oscillations, however, the (ALP) population increases towards thermalization with the bath. As a result, the energy density features a mixture of a cold component from misalignment and a hot component from thermalization with proportions that vary in time $(cold)\,e^{-Γt}+(hot)\,(1-e^{-Γt})$, providing a scenario wherein the ``warmth'' of the dark matter evolves in time from colder to hotter. As a specific example we consider the (ALP)-photon coupling $g a \vec{E}\cdot \vec{B}$ to lowest order, valid from recombination onwards. For $T \gg m_a$ the long-wavelength relaxation rate is substantially enhanced $Γ_T = \frac{g^2\,m^2_a\,T}{16π} $. The ultraviolet divergences of the (ALP) self-energy require higher order derivative terms in the effective action. We find that at high temperature, the finite temperature effective mass of the (ALP) is $m^2_a(T) = m^2_a(0)\Big[ 1-(T/T_c)^4\Big]$, with $T_c \propto \sqrt{m_a(0)/g}$, \emph{suggesting} the possibility of an inverted phase transition, which when combined with higher derivatives may possibly indicate exotic new phases. We discuss possible cosmological consequences on structure formation, the effective number of relativistic species and birefringence of the cosmic microwave background.

description: A central challenge of materials discovery for improved technologies arises from the increasing compositional, processing, and structural complexity involved when synthesizing hitherto unexplored material systems. Traditional Edisonian and combinatorial high-throughput methods have not been able to keep up with the exponential growth in potential materials and relevant property metrics. Autonomously operated Self-Driving Labs (SDLs) - guided by the optimal experiment design sub-field of machine learning, known as active learning - have arisen as promising candidates for intelligently searching these high-dimensional search spaces. In the fields of biology, pharmacology, and chemistry, these SDLs have allowed for expedited experimental discovery of new drugs, catalysts, and more. However, in material science, highly specialized workflows and bespoke robotics have limited the impact of SDLs and contributed to their exorbitant costs. In order to equip the next generation workforce of scientists and advanced manufacturers with the skills needed to coexist with, improve, and understand the benefits and limitations of these autonomous systems, a low-cost and modular SDL must be available to them. This thesis describes the development of such a system and its implementation in an undergraduate and graduate machine learning for materials science course. The low-cost SDL system developed is shown to be affordable for primary through graduate level adoption, and provides a hands-on method for simultaneously teaching active learning, robotics, measurement science, programming, and teamwork: all necessary skills for an autonomous compatible workforce. A novel hypothesis generation and validation active learning scheme is also demonstrated in the discovery of simple composition/acidity relationships.

description: В статье исследуются конфликты идентичности и их представленность в городской культуре памяти. Концепция идентичности используется для анализа последствий гражданских войн. Историческая идентичность города подкрепляет позитивную городскую идентичность горожанина. Отмечается, что репрессивный тип мемориальной культуры приводит к формированию негативной городской идентичности, поскольку для идентификационных процессов личности необходима возможность свободного ценностного выбора. Пространство города выступает «материальным вместилищем» травматических переживаний. Ставится вопрос о несформированности общественного запроса на адекватную времени мемориальную культуру. Высказывается предположение о том, что ценностные конфликты крайне болезненны для личностной идентичности. Подчёркивается травматичность дискурса коллективной памяти о гражданской войне. Представлены примеры символических коммеморативных практик гражданского примирения.

description: A Lagrangian submanifold in an almost Calabi-Yau manifold is called positive if the real part of the holomorphic volume form restricted to it is positive. An exact isotopy class of positive Lagrangian submanifolds admits a natural Riemannian metric. We compute the Riemann curvature of this metric and show all sectional curvatures are non-positive. The motivation for our calculation comes from mirror symmetry. Roughly speaking, an exact isotopy class of positive Lagrangians corresponds under mirror symmetry to the space of Hermitian metrics on a holomorphic vector bundle. The latter space is an infinite-dimensional analog of the non-compact symmetric space dual to the unitary group, and thus has non-positive curvature.

description: Causal discovery for quantitative data has been extensively studied but less is known for categorical data. We propose a novel causal model for categorical data based on a new classification model, termed classification with optimal label permutation (COLP). By design, COLP is a parsimonious classifier, which gives rise to a provably identifiable causal model. A simple learning algorithm via comparing likelihood functions of causal and anti-causal models suffices to learn the causal direction. Through experiments with synthetic and real data, we demonstrate the favorable performance of the proposed COLP-based causal model compared to state-of-the-art methods. We also make available an accompanying R package COLP, which contains the proposed causal discovery algorithm and a benchmark dataset of categorical cause-effect pairs.

description: В статье рассматривается городская идентичность как форма индивидуальной и коллективной идентичности, в основе которой лежит восприятие горожанами своего города как специфической реальной социокультурной общности и собственного жизненного мира. В современных условиях естественное формирование городской идентичности, основанное на опыте проживания в городе, в значительной степени трансформируется процессами социального конструирования, осуществляемыми средствами различных видов познания, что даёт возможность говорить о научном, художественном и других компонентах городской идентичности. В работе специально рассмотрена роль мифологического компонента. Определяя мифологему как константу и элементарную логическую схему мифологического мышления, автор обосновывает закономерность присутствия мифологем в конструировании городской идентичности. В качестве функций мифологем, не до конца замещаемых при конструировании образа города другими формами мышления, названы персонификация образа города, прецедентный детерминизм в объяснении его традиций и «магия имени». Роль мифологем в конструировании образа современного мегаполиса прослежена на примере Новосибирска.

description: Primordial black holes (PBHs), as a potential macroscopic candidate for dark matter, can encounter other compact objects in dark matter halos because of their random distribution. Besides, the detection of gravitational waves (GWs) related to the stellar-mass black hole-neutron star (BH-NS) mergers raises the possibility that the BHs involved in such events may have a primordial origin. In this work, we calculate the merger rate of PBH-NS binaries within the framework of ellipsoidal-collapse dark matter halo models and compare it with the corresponding results derived from spherical-collapse dark matter halo models. Our results exhibit that ellipsoidal-collapse dark matter halo models can potentially amplify the merger rate of PBH-NS binaries in such a way that it is very close to the range estimated by the LIGO-Virgo observations. While spherical-collapse dark matter halo models cannot justify PBH-NS merger events as consistent results with the latest GW data reported by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration. In addition, we calculate the merger rate of PBH-NS binaries as a function of PBH mass and fraction within the context of ellipsoidal-collapse dark matter halo models. The results indicate that PBH-NS merger events with the mass of $(M_{PBH}\le 5 M_{\odot}, M_{NS}\simeq 1.4 M_{\odot})$ will be consistent with the LIGO-Virgo observations if $f_{PBH}\simeq 1$. We also show that to have at least on $(M_{PBH}\simeq 5 M_{\odot}, M_{NS}\simeq 1.4 M_{\odot})$ event in the comoving volume $1 Gpc^{3}$ annually, ellipsoidal-collapse dark matter halo models constrain the abundance of PBHs as $f_{PBH} \geq 0.1$.

description: Aims: We aim to measure the starspot rotation periods of active stars in the Kepler field as a function of spectral type and to extend reliable rotation measurements from F-, G-, and K-type to M-type stars. Methods: Using the Lomb-Scargle periodogram we searched more than 150 000 stellar light curves for periodic brightness variations. We analyzed periods between 1 and 30 days in eight consecutive Kepler quarters, where 30 days is an estimated maximum for the validity of the PDC_MAP data correction pipeline. We selected stable rotation periods, i.e., periods that do not vary from the median by more than one day in at least six of the eight quarters. We averaged the periods for each stellar spectral class according to B - V color and compared the results to archival vsini data, using stellar radii estimates from the Kepler Input Catalog. Results: We report on the stable starspot rotation periods of 12 151 Kepler stars. We find good agreement between starspot velocities and vsini data for all F-, G- and early K-type stars. The 795 M-type stars in our sample have a median rotation period of 15.4 days. We find an excess of M-type stars with periods less than 7.5 days that are potentially fast-rotating and fully convective. Measuring photometric variability in multiple Kepler quarters appears to be a straightforward and reliable way to determine the rotation periods of a large sample of active stars, including late-type stars.

description: This thesis examines the coinciding of human values and the affordances of technological material as an active form of directed evolution. Considering an entangled person and technology as an assemblage, the investigation responds to the question of technological choice as it refers to discrete moments of change: why is it that the assemblage orients toward a specific future way of being? This research demonstrates the choice is discernible as a chain of dependent moments which circumscribe innovation. Owing to its highly adaptable ontology as a relation between people and technology, the ethnographic fieldwork for this study involved interviewing hobbyists of 3d printing about their relationship with the platform technology. This work finds that the chain of dependent moments which minimally describe evolution for the person-printer assemblage can be organized as three successive coincidences: a predisposition prior to a new entanglement, a turn in which the person and printer are interactive, and an aspirational form which emerges with a discernible future orientation. As this study is reactive to larger discussions of global anxiety around human progress and the reality of the Anthropocene, I argue that theorists of progress should adopt a posthuman perspective which contends with the discursive relation between human values and material affordances as a superior descriptive heuristic than a focus on human choice alone.
Active Glassy Dynamics is Unaffected by the Microscopic Details of Self-Propulsion

description: Recent years have seen a rapid increase of interest in dense active materials, which, in the disordered state, share striking similarities with conventional passive glass-forming matter. For such passive glassy materials, it is well established (at least in three dimensions) that the details of the microscopic dynamics, e.g., Newtonian or Brownian, do not influence the long-time glassy behavior. Here we investigate whether this still holds true in the non-equilibrium active case by considering two simple and widely used active particle models, i.e., active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles (AOUPs) and active Brownian particles (ABPs). In particular, we seek to gain more insight into the role of the self-propulsion mechanism on the glassy dynamics by deriving a mode-coupling theory (MCT) for thermal AOUPs, which can be directly compared to a recently developed MCT for ABPs. Both theories explicitly take into account the active degrees of freedom. We solve the AOUP- and ABP-MCT equations in two dimensions and demonstrate that both models give almost identical results for the intermediate scattering function over a large variety of control parameters (packing fractions, active speeds, and persistence times). We also confirm this theoretical equivalence between the different self-propulsion mechanisms numerically via simulations of a polydisperse mixture of active quasi-hard spheres, thereby establishing that, at least for these model systems, the microscopic details of self-propulsion do not alter the active glassy behavior.

description: We present deep optical and X-ray follow-up observations of the bright unassociated Fermi-LAT gammaray source 1FGL J1311.7-3429. The source was already known as an unidentified EGRET source (3EG J1314-3431, EGR J1314-3417), hence its nature has remained uncertain for the past two decades. For the putative counterpart, we detected a quasi-sinusoidal optical modulation of delta_m\sim2 mag with a period of ~1.5 hr in the Rc, r' and g' bands. Moreover, we found that the amplitude of the modulation and peak intensity changed by > 1 mag and 0.5 mag respectively, over our total six nights of observations from 2012 March and May. Combined with Swif t UVOT data, the optical-UV spectrum is consistent with a blackbody temperature, kT \sim1 eV, and the emission volume radius Rbb\sim 1.5x10^4 km. In contrast, deep Suzaku observations conducted in 2009 and 2011 revealed strong X-ray flares with a lightcurve characterized with a power spectrum density of P(f) propto f^(-2) but the folded X-ray light curves suggest an orbital modulation also in X-rays. Together with the non-detection of a radio counterpart, and significant curved spectrum and non-detection of variability in gamma-rays, the source may be the second radio-quiet gamma-ray emitting milli-second pulsar candidate after 1FGL J2339.7-0531, although the origin of flaring X-ray and optical variability remains an open question.

description: The Large Observatory For X-ray Timing (LOFT), selected by ESA as one of the four Cosmic Vision M3 candidate missions to undergo an assessment phase, will revolutionize the study of compact objects in our galaxy and of the brightest supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei. The Large Area Detector (LAD), carrying an unprecedented effective area of 10 m^2, is complemented by a coded-mask Wide Field Monitor, in charge of monitoring a large fraction of the sky potentially accessible to the LAD, to provide the history and context for the sources observed by LAD and to trigger its observations on their most interesting and extreme states. In this paper we present detailed simulations of the imaging capabilities of the Silicon Drift Detectors developed for the LOFT Wide Field Monitor detection plane. The simulations explore a large parameter space for both the detector design and the environmental conditions, allowing us to optimize the detector characteristics and demonstrating the X-ray imaging performance of the large-area SDDs in the 2-50 keV energy band.

description: Hemorrhage is responsible for a large percentage of mortality worldwide and the majority of fatalities on the battlefield. Resuscitation procedures for hemorrhage trauma patients are critical for their recovery. Currently, during resuscitation, physicians manually monitor blood pressure and use intuition to determine when fluid should be administered and how much. Due to factors such as exhaustion, distraction, and inexperience of the physician, this method has often been reported as fallible. This thesis proposes two methods to assist in automating hemorrhage resuscitation. The first is a blood pressure prediction algorithm for decision support systems. The algorithm individualizes itself to different subjects using extended Kalman filtering (EKF), to account for high inter-subject variability, before accurately forecasting future blood pressure. The second method is an observer-based feedback controller which regulates blood pressure from a hypotensive state back to a “healthy” setpoint. The controller was designed using linear matrix inequality (LMI) techniques to ensure it was absolutely stable, which let a portion of the hemodynamic plant model remain unspecified and allowed for performance over a range of physiologies. Both strategies were evaluated in-silico on a cohort of 100 virtual patients generated from an experimental dataset. The prediction algorithm showed accuracy superior to conventional assumptions. The controller tracked the given setpoint with an accuracy and performance comparable to more complex adaptive methods. Further work, with respect to the prediction algorithm, includes developing it into a full decision-support system and incorporating disturbance rejecting components to account for common issues such as rebleed. The controller’s performance deteriorates for high-speed applications, suggesting further study is required to increase its situational flexibility.

description: Ophiolepidinae O gênero Ophiomusium, foi descrito por LYMAN (1869), que caracterizou-o pela ocorrência de espécies relativamente grandes, presença de papilas orais muito unidas com contornos pouco visíveis, disco coberto por placas e escudos radiais intimamente soldados, placas braquiais dorsais e ventrais pequenas e placas laterais unidas dorsal e ventralmente. O autor menciona que não há poros tentaculares além dos segmentos braquiais basais e os espinhos braquiais são pequenos. CLARK (1941) propõe um novo nome genérico, Ophiosphalma, para aquelas espécies com três pares de poros tentaculares proximais em cada braço, restringindo o gênero Ophiomusium para espécies com somente dois pares de poros. Segundo CLARK (1941), LYMAN (1869) não define exatamente qual o número de pares de poros tentaculares na descrição do gênero, porém na descrição da espécie tipo, Ophiomusium eburneum, ele enfatiza a ocorrência de somente dois pares de poros. A divisão de tais gêneros foi aqui adotada embora ainda esteja sendo discutida.

description: This paper presents a discussion of the misunderstood Neutrinos. Some of these particles are very rare and have an extremely small Probability of Appearance. Some have been mislabeled as "sterile" and some as "antimatter."
Both of these labels are incorrect. All of these neutrinos are simply one of 16 probable versions of a single mass particle. Readers are encouraged to first review "Elementary Particles: Cracking the Code," as this discussion will make more sense.
We will begin with a proper definition for what has been called the "sterile" neutrino. Researchers assume that only 2 spin types are available for these neutrinos – when in fact, there are 4 possible spins. We will define a sterile neutrino as a neutrino with zero charge and any spin other than the most common type, which is ½. The other spins are 0, 1, and LF (for the Lighthouse Frequency). This means there are at least 9 particles that could be called "sterile", even though it is a misnomer.  RLighthouse dot com.

description: Estimating the causal effects of a spatially-varying intervention on a spatially-varying outcome may be subject to non-local confounding (NLC), a phenomenon that can bias estimates when the treatments and outcomes of a given unit are dictated in part by the covariates of other nearby units. In particular, NLC is a challenge for evaluating the effects of environmental policies and climate events on health-related outcomes such as air pollution exposure. This paper first formalizes NLC using the potential outcomes framework, providing a comparison with the related phenomenon of causal interference. Then, it proposes a broadly applicable framework, termed "weather2vec", that uses the theory of balancing scores to learn representations of non-local information into a scalar or vector defined for each observational unit, which is subsequently used to adjust for confounding in conjunction with causal inference methods. The framework is evaluated in a simulation study and two case studies on air pollution where the weather is an (inherently regional) known confounder.

description: Data standardization combined with descriptive metadata facilitate data reuse, which is the ultimate goal of the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) principles. Community data or metadata standards are increasingly created through an approach that emphasizes collaboration between various stakeholders. Such an approach requires platforms for collaboration on the development process that centers on sharing information and receiving feedback. Our objective in this study was to conduct a systematic review to identify data standards and reporting formats that use version control for developing data standards and to summarize common practices, particularly in earth and environmental sciences. Out of 108 data standards and reporting formats identified in our review, 32 used GitHub as the version control platform, and no other platforms were used. We found no universally accepted methodology for developing and publishing data standards. Many GitHub repositories did not use key features that could help developers to gather user feedback, or to create and revise standards that build on previous work. We provide guidance for community-driven standard development and associated documentation on GitHub based on a systematic review of existing practices

description: The expansion in multipoles of the gravitational potential of a rotating body affects the orbital motion of a test particle orbiting it with long-term perturbations both at a classical and at a relativistic level. In this preliminary sensitivity analysis, we show that, for the first time, the J2 c^-2 effects could be measured by the ongoing Juno mission in the gravitational field of Jupiter during its yearlong science phase (10 November 2016-5 October 2017) thanks to its high eccentricity (e=0.947) and to the huge oblateness of Jupiter (J2=1.47 10^-2). The semi-major axis a and the perijove ω of Juno are expected to be shifted by Δa =700-900 m and Δω= 50-60 milliarcseconds, respectively, over 1-2 yr. A numerical analysis shows also that the expected J2c^-2 range-rate signal for Juno should be as large as 280 microns per second during a typical 6 h pass at its closest approach. Independent analyses previously performed by other researchers about the measurability of the Lense-Thirring effect showed that the radio science apparatus of Juno should reach an accuracy in Doppler range-rate measurements of 1-5 microns per second over such passes. The range-rate signature of the classical even zonal perturbations is different from the 1PN one. Thus, further investigations, based on covariance analyses of simulated Doppler data and dedicated parameters estimation, are worth of further consideration. It turns out that the J2 c^-2 effects cannot be responsible of the flyby anomaly in the gravitational field of the Earth. A dedicated spacecraft in a 6678 km X 57103 km polar orbit would experience a geocentric J2 c^-2 range-rate shift of 0.4 mm s^-1.

description: Accurate positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) performance are prerequisites for several technologies today. In a marine environment, it is difficult to visually identify one's position accurately, leading to safety concerns. Currently, PNT information is provided mainly from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS); however, it is vulnerable to radio frequency interference, spoofing, and ionospheric anomaly. Therefore, research on a backup system is needed. Ranging Mode (R-Mode), a terrestrial integrated navigation system, is being investigated for use in a marine environment. R-Mode is a positioning technology that integrates terrestrial signals of opportunity such as medium frequency (MF) differential GNSS (DGNSS), very high frequency (VHF) automatic identification system (AIS), and enhanced long-range navigation (eLoran) signals. Previous studies in Europe show that signals in the MF band differ greatly in accuracy between daytime and nighttime. This difference is primarily caused by skywave. In this study, the MF DGNSS R-Mode signal transmitted from Chungju, Korea was received in Daesan and Daejeon, Korea. The skywave effect during daytime and nighttime was compared and investigated. In addition, the continuous wave intensity of the R-Mode signal was increased during the nighttime to compare its effect on the measurement accuracy.
