The reconstruction of ancient insect ectoparasitism ONE MOCHA is challenging, mostly because of the extreme scarcity of fossils with obvious ectoparasitic features such as sucking-piercing mouthparts and specialized attachment organs.Here we describe a bizarre fly larva (Diptera), Qiyia jurassica gen.et sp.nov., from the Jurassic of China, that rep
A digital filter that improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the response of a FSCW (Frequency Stepped Continuous Wave) scheme is presented.An improvement in signal-to-noise ratio represents an enhanced readout distance.This work considers this architecture as an interrogation unit for SAW tags with time and phase encoding.The Fork parameters of the
Differential synthetic aperture radar tomography (D-TomoSAR) uses multiple SAR acquisitions at different times to form an elevation-time 2-D synthetic aperture, enabling recovery of the target's 3-D structure and deformation velocity.However, the imaging performance of D-TomoSAR is influenced by the spatial-temporal baseline distribution, wh
In the last few years, a new type of hero has emerged in computer games: the father, who has sole responsibility for a child.In MAGIC FINISH HAIRSPRAY this article, three action-adventure computer games are analyzed to explore how fatherhood extends the notion of masculinity and the concept of GIFT VOUCHERS heroism.Interestingly, these computer gam
