BackgroundIn aggressive mimicry, a predator or parasite imitates a signal of another species in order to exploit the recipient of the signal.Some of the most remarkable examples of aggressive mimicry involve exploitation of a complex signal-response system by an unrelated predator species.Methodology/principal findingsWe have found that predatory C

The tropical Northwest Pacific (TNWP) is a receptor for pollution sources throughout Asia and is highly susceptible to climate change, making it imperative to understand long-range transport in this complex aerosol-meteorological environment.Measurements from the NASA Cloud, Aerosol, and Monsoon Processes Philippines Experiment (CAMP2Ex; 24 August
The electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) method has been increasingly integrated with hydrogeological risk mitigation strategies to monitor the internal conditions and the stability of natural and artificial slopes.In this paper, we discuss a case study in which numerical simulations were essential to validate the interpretation of the resistivi
Magnetohydrodynamic wave phenomena have been investigated in the deep plasmasphere by the electric field measurements in the EXOS-D(Akebono) satellite.EXOS-D has highly eccentric orbits(the perigee: 274km, the apogee: 10,500km), which allows relatively long observational time interval near the apogee region compared to othe satellites which pass by
