In the future, wireless access networks will diversify, and they are quite different in their characteristics. We focus on data transmission rate and area coverage, and assume overlay network composed of hot-spotted network and cellular network. Hot-spotted network indicates highspeed wireless network and very limited communication area due to its spotted cell. A mobile user cannot continuously...

T H E feather is the most elaborate of all the derivatives of the Malpighian layer. The production of so complex a structure from so simple a layer of cells is a challenge to the developmental anatomist and has been studied for many years. Historically two main views of the fundamentals of feather development may be distinguished. In 1889 Davies published a very full account in which he de­ scr...

When a black-spotted female platyfish (Platypoecilus maculatus) is mated to an unspotted (genetically recessive) male platyfish, one of three hereditary expressions may be expected. If the female is genetically pure (homozygous dominant) for the spotted factor, all of the young may be expected to be spotted. The genetic formula representing this situation is (W)Sp(Z)Sp, for the mother, where W ...

The population Javaen barb, (Valenciennes, 1842) Serayu River Central Java has declined, and is one most critical conservation initiatives. This research aimed to evaluate reproductive aspect an Furthermore, ...

The three subspecies of Spotted Owl (Northern, Strix occidentalis caurina; California, S. o. occidentalis; and Mexican, S. o. lucida) are all threatened by habitat loss and range expansion of the Barred Owl (S. varia). An unaddressed threat is whether Barred Owls could be a source of novel strains of disease such as avian malaria (Plasmodium spp.) or other blood parasites potentially harmful fo...

Bubbles, the semi-circular voids below quiescent prominences (filaments), have been extensively investigated in past decade. However, hitherto magnetic nature of bubbles cannot be verified due to lack on-disk photospheric field observations. Here for first time, we find and investigate an prominence bubble around a filament barb on 2019 March 18 based stereoscopic observations from NVST, SDO, S...

This article makes use of digitized historic newspapers to analyze Newfoundland dog fur colour genetics, and fur colour variations over time. The results indicate that contrary to the accepted view, the 'Solid' gene was introduced into the British population of Newfoundland dogs in the 1840s. Prior to that time, the dogs were white and black (Landseer) or white and brown, and thus spotted/spott...

Tomato spotted wilt caused by thrips-vectored tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is a very serious problem in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) production. TSWV and the thrips Frankliniella fusca and Frankliniella occidentalis, which vector the virus, present a difficult and complicated challenge from the perspectives of both epidemiology and disease management. Simply controlling the vector typically...
