We present a new approach for crosshole radio tomography. Conductivity images of the investigated area are reconstructed from the ratio of the electric field intensities measured at two similar frequencies. The method largely avoids assumptions about the radiation pattern and in‐situ intensity of the transmitting antenna, which introduce errors in conventional single‐frequency crosshole electromagnetic‐absorption tomography. Application of the method to field data achieved an improvement in resolution of anomalies over traditional single‐frequency absorption tomography. The dual‐frequency method is not a universal approach; it is suitable for moderately conductive media (<0.01 S/m) over the approximate frequency range 1–100 MHz.

&lt;p&gt;In order to enable our new PPP processing engine and online service to work in full multi-GNSS mode, and provide high quality precise GNSS orbit and clock (POD) products to IGS and international geodetic community, Canadian Geodetic Survey (known as EMR) has started to modernize his POD system. The new system is based on GipsyX and in-house software development and will replace our current POD system in near future. When become operational, the new POD system will produce multi-GNSS precise orbit and clock corrections with ambiguity resolution along with wide-lane and phase biases using zero-differenced, dual-frequency, ionosphere-free phase and code observations in RINEX 2 and 3 formats estimated in combined solution. The new system also benefits from advanced features such as removing observations affected by ionospheric scintillation and ground stations affected by earthquake as well as real-time monitoring of estimated position time-series of ground stations, among others.&lt;/p&gt;

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop a new approach to investigate complex processes, such as software development processes, using business process modeling.Design/methodology/approachThe paper presents an investigation into the use of role activity diagramming (RAD) to model complex processes in the software industry sector, with reference to the process of TestWarehouse as a case study.FindingsSystematic extension and quantitative analysis to RAD models led to the discovery of process bottlenecks, identification of cross functional boundary problems, and focused discussion about automation of processes.Research limitations/implicationsFurther work is required to validate and evaluate the proposed approach using several cases with different application domains and thus generalize the adopted approach.Practical implicationsA new approach has been used successfully to understand and analyze business processes. The tools and techniques that are used to perform the approach are not complicated and do not need much specialist expertise, so the approach is not only oriented toward specialists but also toward organizations' managers and staff.Originality/valueNew techniques have been developed by using process modelling to deepen the understanding and analyzing of complex organizational processes. This research implements a practical investigation which uses a case study to validate the new techniques.

Wireless signals propagated along global positioning system (GPS) channel are affected by ionospheric electron density irregularities such that GPS signals may experience amplitude and phase fluctuations. The global navigation satellite system (GNSS), ionospheric scintillation, and total electron content (TEC) monitor (GISTM) receiver has been installed at UTeM, Malaysia (2.3139°N, 102.3183°E) for monitoring ionospheric scintillation at several frequencies. In this paper, the GPS ionospheric scintillations are concerned for the dual frequency L1 (fL1 = 1.57542 GHz) and L2C (fL2= 1.2276 GHz).  Ionospheric scintillation data has been collected during solar maximum cycle 2013-2014 for six months October 2013–March 2014. Solar activities significantly impact the ionospheric GPS scintillation, especially in the equatorial region where Malaysia is located. The GPS link is analyzed to investigate how the scintillation increases during the solar maximum cycle. When the sun flux is maximum, the total of electrons is increased in the ionospheric layer and the scintillation values gradually become high. The ionospheric amplitude/phase scintillation, carrier-to-noise (C/No) ratio, and availability of GPS satellites are reported in the proposed experimental GPS model. Consequently, for Malaysia, typical threshold received C/No ratio is 43 dB-Hz, implying that C/No ratio should be greater than 43 dB-Hz to receive good signals at the GPS receiver.
