Polarisation Vision: Beetles See Circularly Polarised Light
It has long been known that the iridescent cuticle of many scarab beetles reflects circularly polarised light. It now turns out that scarabs can also see this light, potentially using it as a covert visual signal.
متن کاملBiological Optics: Circularly Polarised Crustaceans
A novel visual capability, the detection of circularly polarised light, has been demonstrated in a mantis shrimp, a colourful crustacean from tropical reefs.
متن کاملDual frequency circularly polarised microstrip antenna
A dual frequency and dual circular polarisation multilayer microstrip antenna element for satellite communication is presented. The element is fed by a gap-coupled probe pin. The microstrip element exhibits a dual frequency band of operation for two orthogonal circular polarisations. A parametric study to optimise the element performance has been conducted. A prototype with dimensions that are ...
متن کاملOmnidirectional circularly-polarised microstrip patch antenna
An omnidirectional circularly-polarised patch antenna is proposed. The antenna radiates right-handed circular-polarisation with an average axial ratio of 2.3 dB over a full 3608. A shallow diagonal CPW inset-feed was used to achieve good matching to the back-to-back coupled patches, providing a measured S11 ,215 dB at the centre frequency. The measured cross-polar performance is better than 13 ...

adhesion proteins implicated in integrin activation, including integrin-linked kinase and the filamin-binding protein, migfilin (Figure 1). However, whether these interactions are important for activation or for kindlin-mediated integrin signaling, focal adhesion formation, and cell spreading is unclear and elucidation of the mechanisms of kindlin function will likely require detailed knowledge...
