Microcellular thermoplastic polyurethane foams are examined as absorbing materials in the X-band (8.2-12.4 GHz) frequency range by means of experiment.In this work, we aim to establish relationships between foam morphology including cell size and air volume fraction and electromagnetic properties including absorption, transmission and reflection qu
Integrative phylogenetic analysis of the genus Episoriculus (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla: Soricidae).
Shrews in the genus Episoriculus are among the least-known mammals in China, where representatives occur mainly in the Himalayan and Hengduan mountains.We sequence one mitochondrial and three nuclear genes from 77 individuals referable to this genus, collect morphometric data for five shape and 11 skull measurements from 56 specimens, and use museu

The link between reported cases of COVID-19 and the Infodemic Risk Index: A worldwide perspective
In this brief report we followed the evolution of the COVID-19 Infodemic Risk Index during 2020 and clarified its connection with the epidemic waves, focusing specifically on their co-evolution in Europe, South America, and South-eastern Asia.Using 640 million tweets collected by the Infodemic Observatory and the open access dataset published by Ou
An Improved Probabilistic Roadmap Planning Method for Safe Indoor Flights of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in industry and daily life, where safety is the primary consideration, resulting in their use in open outdoor environments, which are wider than complex indoor environments.However, the demand is growing for deploying UAVs indoors for specific tasks such as inspection, supervision, transportatio
