Rapidly developing Internet communication technologies provide today wide opportunities to create different applications for interacting with various robotic systems. This Master’s thesis presents a study of how to supply a graphic user interface for remote control of an autonomous mobile robot through the Internet with video information. The goal of this project is to analyze different techniq...

Ostracod crustaceans are the most abundant fossil arthropods and are characterized by a long stratigraphic range. However, their soft parts are very rarely preserved, and the presence of ostracods in rocks older than the Silurian period [1-5] was hitherto based on the occurrence of their supposed shells. Pyritized ostracods that preserve limbs and in situ embryos, including an egg within an ova...

Permanent electric dipole moments are important for understanding symmetry breaking in molecular physics, control of chemical reactions, and realization of strongly correlated many-body quantum systems. However, large molecular permanent electric dipole moments are challenging to realize experimentally. We report the observation of ultralong-range Rydberg molecules with bond lengths of ~100 nan...

The Middle Cambrian Spence Shale Member (Langston Formation) and Wheeler and Marjum Formations of Utah are known to contain a diverse soft-bodied fauna, but important new paleontological material continues to be uncovered from these strata. New specimens of anomalocaridids include the largest and smallest near complete examples yet reported from Utah. New material of stem group arthropods inclu...

Until now, the fossil record has not been capable of revealing any details of the mechanisms of complex vision at the beginning of metazoan evolution. Here, we describe functional units, at a cellular level, of a compound eye from the base of the Cambrian, more than half a billion years old. Remains of early Cambrian arthropods showed the external lattices of enormous compound eyes, but not the...

Abstract. Articulated holaspid specimens of Placoparia Hawle and Corda, 1847 Eoharpes Raymond, 1905 entombed inside cephalopod conchs under the remains large illaenid, asaphid, cyclopygid dalmanitid trilobites from Middle Ordovician Šárka Formation Prague Basin (Czech Republic) are described discussed. Two such samples were also found in overlying Dobrotivá Middle/Late age. Four articulated juv...
