TL;DR: In this paper, a polynomial-type solution for 3D position estimation based on range measurements from three stations is proposed, which facilitates the performance analysis and provides an exact, explicit, and computationally efficient solution.
Abstract: A new exact, explicit, and computationally efficient solution for three-dimensional (3-D) position estimation based on range measurements from three stations is proposed. The simple polynomial-type form of the new algorithm facilitates the performance analysis. Formulae are provided for both the variance and the bias of the position estimates. The systematic error is a joint effect of both the measurement noise and the system nonlinearity and its magnitude cannot be ignored if highly accurate localization is required. Performance evaluation results are presented for various conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation has been conducted to examine the effects of the total air-fuel ratio on the efficiency and pollutant emissions of a high speed, compression ignition engine located at the authors' laboratory, where liquid diesel fuel is partially substituted by natural gas in various proportions, with the natural gas fumigated into the intake air.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effects of using blends of diesel fuel with either ethanol in proportions of 5% and 10% or n -butanol in 8% and 16% (by vol.), on the combustion behavior of a fully-instrumented, six-cylinder, turbocharged and after-cooled, heavy duty, direct injection (DI), ‘Mercedes-Benz’ engine installed at the laboratory.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation is conducted to evaluate the effects of using blends of n-butanol (normal butanol) with conventional diesel fuel, with 8% and 16% (by vol.) nbutanol, on the performance and exhaust emissions of a fully instrumented, six-cylinder, water-cooled, turbocharged and after- cooled, heavy duty, direct injection (DI), Mercedes-Benz engine, installed at the authors' laboratory, which is used to power the mini-bus diesel engines of the Athens Urban Transport Organization sub-fleet.
