The adult females of two new species of armored scale, Fiorinia tianshuiensis Wei & Feng sp. n. and F. dinghuensis Wei & Feng sp. n., are described and illustrated from specimens collected from China. A key is provided for the all Fiorilim species known from China.

A blast injury is a complex type of physical trauma resulting from the detonation of explosive compounds and has become an important issue due to the use of improvised explosive devices (IED) in current military conflicts. Blast-induced neurotrauma (BINT) is a major concern in contemporary military medicine and includes a variety of injuries that range from mild to lethal. Extreme forces and th...

There has been an active development toward the extraction of human image by measuring heat sources with infrared rays. This is because infrared rays are more effective at detecting human than visible light. Detection of position and posture of occupants using low resolution sensor is proposed. The proposed system can measure the position and posture of occupants from data using a sensor. Other...

Future combat systems necessarily focus on lightweight, highly mobile and transportable armored vehicles. Lightweight composite integral armor systems are being developed to meet these needs. The goal of this paper is to centrally document he myriad design requirements for composite integral armors that serve multZunctiona1 roles including ballistic, structural, shock, electromagnetic, and fire...

[1] We report on the results of a survey to document and characterize pedestal craters on Mars equatorward of 60 N and 65 S latitude. The identification of 2696 pedestal craters reveals a strong latitude dependence, with the vast majority found poleward of 33 N and 40 S. This latitudinal extent is correlated with many climate indicators consistent with the presence of an ice-rich substrate and ...
