Experimental evaluation of estimator mean square error curve for cognitive tracking radar
PublicationTo make decisions, cognitive radar must rely on predictions of its own performance. In the literature, these predictions are usually based on some form of Cram\'er-Rao lower bound. This approach is scientifically sound, but it also brings a possibility of the cognitive controller overestimating radar performance. It therefore makes sense to back theoretical predictions with careful experiments which will verify their applicability....

Stormwater runoff in the urbanized coastal basin of Gdańsk Urbanized basin of Gdańsk
PublicationAnthropopressure strongly affects the primal water cycle. Alternation of the natural basins imposes changes of drainage patterns, reduction of bioretention, infiltration and base flow. As a result the overland flow predominates and greater runoff rates flow into storm water collection systems and reservoirs. Moreover changing climatic conditions increase the frequency of rapid extreme weather events. Infrastructures of urban areas...
