How to Build & Manage a Virtual Workforce. Systems content from Microwaves & RF. The purpose of radar is to provide some form of warning, whether as part of a military surveillance system, a weather-tracking system, or our efforts to better know the universe.
Short for radio detection and ranging, radar was initially developed for military use (to detect ships and aircraft during World War II), but now has many applications. Radar systems have matured with the development of different technologies, such as RF/microwave amplification and digital signal processing (DSP). They are now used on earth, at sea, on the road, and even in outer space. Radar can operate with continuous-wave (CW) signals. More commonly, though, it transmits and receives pulses, measuring the range or distance to a target based on the delay time of the pulses and the velocity of the target based on the Doppler frequency shift of the received signals. 1. 2. 3.

Better way of checking authenticity of Earth’s smallest, most valuable bits of paper. "Spectral Database for Postage Stamps by Means of FT-IR Spectroscopy"Analytical Chemistry With stamp collecting a popular hobby and lucrative investment, scientists are describing a comprehensive new way of verifying the authenticity and rooting out fakes of what may be the smallest and most valuable pieces of paper on Earth.
Their report appears in the ACS journal Analytical Chemistry. Ludovico Valli and colleagues explain that museums, archives and private stamp collectors have long been searching for better ways to confirm the authenticity of rare stamps, and details like cancellation marks that increase value. But until now, those approaches have been limited to individual components of a stamp, like the ink, or have relied on expert inspections. Valli’s team looked for a better way. The authors acknowledge funding from the European Regional Development Fund and the National Operational Programme for Research and Competitiveness 2007-2013.

The Ultimate Counterfeiter Isn't a Crook—He's an Artist. Photo: Jaap Scheeren On a bright May afternoon in 2007, a German artist and printmaker named Hans-Jürgen Kuhl took a seat at an outdoor café directly opposite the colossal facade of the Cologne Cathedral.
He ordered an espresso and a slice of plum cake, lit a Lucky Strike, and watched for the buyer. She was due any minute. Kuhl, a lanky 65-year-old, had to remind himself that he was in no rush. He’d sold plenty of artwork over the years, but this batch was altogether different. Tourists milled about the platz in front of the cathedral, Germany’s most visited landmark, craning their necks to snap pictures of the impossibly intricate spires jutting toward the heavens.
On the other side of a low brick wall surrounding the café, Kuhl finally spotted her. When they first met a few months earlier, Falkenthal said she was an events manager from Vilnius, Lithuania, and gave Kuhl a card printed with a Vilnius address as well as an address from the German city of Essen.
