Prevalence and size variation of feather mite, Analges slovakiensis Dabert, Mironov & Janiga, 2018, on the host Alpine accentor, Prunella collaris (Scopoli, 1769) by M. Janiga, N. Marčanová, Z. Kompišová Ballová

“…Morphophysiological plasticity combined with population dynamics allows the mites to survive effectively on hosts living at high altitudes in the mountains. The results also suggest that A. slovakiensis spreads through vertical transmission, as it radiates and increases in size during breeding season.…”

Scattering and Doppler Spectral Analysis for a Fast-Moving Target above Time-Varying Lossy Dielectric Sea Surface by Ke Li, Lixin Guo, Juan Li

“…The numerical simulations of the Doppler spectrum from the fast-moving target above time-varying lossy dielectric sea surface are obtained, and the Doppler spectra of backscattered signals from this model are discussed for different incident angles, speed of flying target, wind speeds, incident frequencies, and target altitudes in detail. Finally, the coupling effects on Doppler spectra are analyzed. …”

Were there any tells in the Coţofeni culture area? by Cristian Ioan Popa

“…The so-called tell settlements are also discussed and the term pseudo-tell is proposed. Sites at very high altitudes (over 1000 m) or others related to salt exploitation have generated complex stratigraphies, consisting of successive Coţofeni levels, but completely different from the types of sediments that led to the formation of “classic” tells from the lowlands. …”
