This paper reports the occurrence of an incomplete fossil baleen whale skeleton in the Lower Pliocene Huelva Sands Formation (Guadalquivir basin) near the town of Bonares, southwestern Spain.The skeleton was found in the highly bioturbated glauconitic sandstone unit in association with Neopycnodonte cochlear shells.Several morphological features of
Cross-calibration of Chinese Gaofen-5 thermal infrared images and its improvement on land surface temperature retrieval
Thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing technology is capable of acquiring large-scale land surface temperature (LST), which is a key factor in the energy exchange between land surface and atmosphere.The visible and infrared multispectral sensor (VIMS) equipped in the Chinese Gaofen-5 (GF-5) satellite can obtain four channels of TIR images with a 40
Extraction of Keratin from Chicken Feathers and its Application in the Treatment of Contaminated Water: an Eco-Friendly Approach
Abstract Chicken feathers that make up 4-6% of total weight of chicken are most influential waste by-product from poultry farm and slaughter.Annual worldwide generation of several tons of feather biomass raise solid waste management concerns.In environmental perspective, the burning or dumping in landfills are not promising approaches.Keratin, toug

Cusp Phased Metasurfaces for Wideband RCS Reduction Under Broad Angles of Incidence
This article presents an efficient and effective design approach of the phase distribution calculation across metasurface for significant radar cross section (RCS) reduction of a circular polarization (CP) and liner polarization (LP) radar waves.The RCS reduction using the proposed design approach is achieved by imposing a novel cusp phase mask (wh
