Complete mitochondrial genome of Cyclopelta obscura (Lepeletier & Serville, 1825) (Hemiptera: Pentatomoidea: Dinidoridae) and phylogenetic analysis of Pentatomoidea species.

Cyclopelta obscura is a crop pest, which mainly damages legumes, especially Robinia pseudoacacia and Cercis chinensis. In recent years, many mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences of C. obscura have been sequenced and used for phylogenetic inference.

Research on the eLoran Differential Timing Method.

An enhanced long-range navigation (eLoran) system was selected as the backup of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), and experts and scholars are committed to improving the accuracy of the eLoran system such that its accuracy is close to the GNSS system. A differential method called eLoran differential timing technology is applied to the eLoran system, which has been used in maritime applications of eLoran. In this study, an application of eLoran differential timing technology in a terrestrial medium is carried out.

High-Accuracy Positioning Based on Pseudo-Ranges: Integrated Difference and Performance Analysis of the Loran System.

The Long Range Navigation (Loran) system as a backup of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a good choice. The dominant deterioration factors of position accuracy are the pseudo-range measurement errors and the geometric dilution of precision (GDOP). This paper focuses on the algorithm integrated difference with pseudo-ranges to improve the position accuracy.

Simultaneous normal and parallel incidence planar left-handed metamaterial.

We investigate numerically the negative refraction of a simultaneous normal and parallel incidence planar left-handed metamaterial (LHM) in this paper. This LHM is comprised of fourfold C-shaped rings, which are printed on both sides of the substrates symmetrically, and it can exhibit left-handed properties with electromagnetic wave incident in three different directions. The retrieved result and the simulated result verify the left-handed properties of the fourfold C-shaped metamaterial very well.

Numerical studies of a low-loss and broad-pass-band single-sided-structure left-handed metamaterial.

A single-sided structure left-handed metamaterial (LHM), of which the symmetric paired split-ring resonators are connected directly through cut wires, is discussed in this paper. This connected single-sided LHM can exhibit a low loss and broad negative refraction passband. Good agreement of the retrieved result and the simulated result verify the above conclusion by comparison with the in-plane case and the off-plane case [T.
