25th of April 2019The Flying Tree Top Sampler
The Flying Tree Top Sampler (FTTS) is a drone-mounted device that allows researchers to safely sample foliage from the upper canopy of trees over large areas quickly and efficiently. The FTTS uses a drone, tether, and twig sampling mechanism with a saw and grippers to cut and collect branches. It aims to sample the very top canopy, which has unique environmental conditions, in a synchronized and cost-effective way compared to conventional sampling methods. The device has been tested and can cut branches up to 15mm in diameter at a rate of around one sample every three minutes during a typical 25 minute flight.

University of Leeds – Arup presentation
This research project aims to test the applicability of using a Structure Scanner, an infrared scanner that attaches to an iPad, to scan civil engineering structures like bridges. The researchers scanned a footbridge with the Structure Scanner and input the data into finite element software to create an accurate 3D model. Some benefits of the Structure Scanner are its lower cost compared to LIDAR scanners, ability to scan complex structures, and capability to provide instant 3D images. However, limitations include a short maximum range, lower accuracy at longer distances, inability to scan in direct sunlight, and software and hardware restrictions on maximum scanning area.

Jorge gomes
This document discusses the potential for using cloud computing technologies within grid computing infrastructures. It begins by reviewing the history and achievements of grid computing projects like EGEE, which established a successful worldwide infrastructure. However, grids are complex and have limitations in flexibility and cost that clouds could help address. Integrating clouds and virtualization could provide grids with more dynamic elasticity and reduce costs. While challenges remain around costs, security and provider lock-in, clouds may attract more resource providers and increase flexibility. Overall grids and clouds could complement each other, with clouds helping grids scale to accommodate peak usage in a more cost-effective manner.

This document discusses the history and current state of grid computing infrastructure projects. It begins by summarizing a 1960 paper by J.C.R. Licklider that envisioned a network of computing centers connected by communication lines. It then provides details about the Laboratory of Instrumentation and Experimental Particle Physics (LIP) and its involvement in projects like the Large Hadron Collider. It outlines the computing challenges of projects like the LHC and how grid computing aims to address these challenges through distributed resources. Finally, it discusses the transition from past projects like EGEE to the current European Grid Initiative (EGI).
