Spatio‐Temporal Variation in Aerial Arthropod Abundance Revealed by Weather Radars
Alarming arthropod decline has been reported from around the world, but we lack conensus on the generality, severity, and potential causes of these declines. We use weather radars for large‐scale aerial arthropod monitoring across the United Kingdom and show that, on average, nocturnal arthropods showed a decline in abundance, while diurnal arthropods ...

Iterative Bilateral Filtering of Polarimetric SAR Data
In this paper, we introduce an iterative speckle filtering method for polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) images based on the bilateral filter. To locally adapt to the spatial structure of images, this filter relies on pixel similarities in both spatial and ...

Roll-invariant target decomposition in bistatic polarimetric SAR imagery
The polarimetric information has been widely used to interpret the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) scene. Hence, many coherent and incoherent target decompositions have been recently introduced to extract polarimetric parameters with a physical meaning. Nevertheless, for most of them, the reciprocity assumption is assumed.

Application of Cloude's target decomposition theorem to polarimetric imaging radar data [PDF]
In this paper we applied Cloude's decomposition to imaging radar polarimetry. We show in detail how the decomposition results can guide the interpretation of scattering from vegetated areas. For multifrequency polarimetric radar measurements of a clear-cut area, the decomposition leads us to conclude that the vegetation is probably thin compared to ...

Abstract Several missions to Venus have recently been selected for launch, opening a new era for the exploration of the planet. A key question these missions seek to address is whether Venus is geologically active today. Detecting active volcanism on Venus would contribute to a better understanding of volcanic and atmospheric processes on Earth.

Spin‐Orbit Photonics with Potato Starch Lenses
Native potato starch spherulites are introduced as volumetric optical elements that modulate both dynamic and geometric phases of light. These spherulites focus light and generate optical vortices via spin‐orbit interaction, functioning as polarization‐sensitive microlenses. Their unique radial anisotropy enables applications in vortex beam generation,

Polarization of radio emission in extragalactic jets at a sub-milliarcsecond angular resolution holds important clues for understanding the structure of the magnetic field in the inner regions of the jets and in close vicinity of the supermassive black ...

We explore the variance of the radar–rain‐gauge combination kriging‐based system “CombiPrecip”, showing that it represents satisfactorily the radar–rain‐gauge precipitation uncertainty around the kriging expected value. We then present a method to generate ensembles out of it, which we find to be very similar in texture with the expected‐value image ...

New glycoside hydrolase families of β‐1,2‐glucanases
Abstract β‐1,2‐Glucans are natural glucose polymers produced by bacteria and play important physiological roles, including as symbiotic or pathogenic factors and in osmoregulation. Glycoside hydrolase (GH) families related to β‐1,2‐glucan metabolism (GH144, GH162, and GH189) have recently been created by identification of two β‐1,2‐glucanases and a β‐1,
