GPS Systems

Image
  GPS = The Global Positioning System = a satellite-based hyperbolic navigation system This system consists of three segments: The space segment: 24 operating satellites that transmit one-way signals that give the current GPS satellite position and time. The control segment: worldwide monitor and control stations that maintain the satellites in their proper orbits through occasional command maneuvers, and adjust the satellite clocks. It tracks the GPS satellites, uploads updated navigational data, and maintains health and status of the satellite constellation. The user segment: the GPS receiver equipment, which receives the signals from the GPS satellites and uses the transmitted information to calculate the user's three-dimensional position and time.

Wildlife Management

Image
  Wildlife management includes its conservation, pest and disease control as well as game management. The latter encompasses activities aimed at: – protection of game seen as an integral part of forest ecosystems, – creating favourable conditions for its breeding, growth and development, – keeping its number in check. As far as protection of animals and controlling their number are concerned hunting can be carried out only during the open season and is banned during the closed season (the time when game reproduces and takes care of the young). Hunters kill animals only when they are injured, weak, disabled or ill (infected by rabies included) or in order to counteract overpopulation of some species when there are no or not enough natural enemies. Hunters also fight poaching (=illegal hunting) and help animals caught or injured by different kinds of traps, e.g. snares . Another aim of game management is breeding and introducing animals into woodland, e.g. hare, partridge, phe...
