Abstract: Higher spatial resolution and larger imaging scene are always the goals pursued by advanced spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system. High-resolution and wide-swath SAR imaging can ...

We present the proper co-frame and its corresponding (diagonal) co-frame/spin connection pair for spherically symmetric geometries which can be used as an initial ansatz in any theory of teleparallel ...

In elementary school, one of my favorite pastimes was to memorize world capitals. I’d spin the globe in my first-grade teacher’s classroom and point to countries around the world to see if I ...
