Since the 29th of March 2017, after the invocation of Article 50, the Brexit is one of the hottest topics of the last two and a half years. A lot of assumptions have been made since, different Brexit outcomes have been talked about, possible consequences have been discussed but mainly, the big uncertainty …

This paper describes a calibration method for inertial and magnetic sensors using a batched optimization procedure. Well estab- lished sensor, motion and constraint models are applied which include sensor gains, biases, misalignments and inter-triad misalignments. For the magnetometer, hard and soft …

Groningen gas field is the largest on-land gas resource in the world and is being exploited since 1963. There are damaging earthquakes, the largest of which was 3.6 magnitude. The recursive induced earthquakes are often blamed for triggering the structural damages in thousands of houses in the area. …
