Cuttings, Combings, Fettlings and Flock: Gender and Australian Wool ‘Waste’, 1900–1950
ABSTRACT As Australia's wool industry produced vast amounts of fine fleece from the nineteenth century, the wool processing and clothes manufacturing industries generated waste – products like cuttings, combings, fettlings and flock. Salvaged and then sold to waste merchants, these and other materials had a second life.

Flap Anatomies and Victorian Veils: Penetrating the Female Reproductive Interior
ABSTRACT This article examines the reappearance in the early nineteenth century of anatomical flapbooks in the context of obstetrical education in Britain, America and France. It asks why liftable paper flaps were reintroduced at this time after their disappearance from medical atlases in the eighteenth century.

READING HOUSING AS AN URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE PATTERNING THE ‘WHORE STIGMA’
Abstract In this article, I conceptualize housing as an urban infrastructure enabling the reproduction, exploitation, circulation and emplacement of the ‘whore stigma’. To this end, I engage with infrastructural scholarship, particularly the emerging field of infrastructural housing studies, and situate it in dialogue with critical perspectives on ...

Abstract Background Laparoscopic transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) has been widely adopted globally. Short‐ and long‐term outcomes vary across different localities, especially during the learning phase. Method and patient The first 100 cases of TaTME performed by two experienced colorectal surgeons between 2015 and 2019 were reviewed. The aim

Abstract Bactrocera tryoni, the Queensland fruit fly, is among the most damaging insect pests to the Australian horticultural industry as larvae infest ripening fruits or vegetables prior to harvest. Genetic biocontrol using Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) programs have been used to successfully suppress populations, via mass release of factory‐reared ...

Selection, counterselection, and conditional gene expression for genetic biocontrol of insects
Selection, counterselection, and conditional expression can be used for sex separation. Selection (S) and counterselection (CS) genes are linked to the sex chromosomes (e.g., the X and Y chromosomes) to confer sex‐specific selection or counterselection based on the presence or absence of the S or CS genes.

Bactrocera fruit flies are significant horticultural pests that cause major economic losses. A “neoclassical approach” incorporating genome editing via CRISPR/Cas9 to develop genetic sexing strains (GSS) could render the sterile insect technique (SIT) against these pests more efficient and cost‐effective.

High altitudes are challenging for the animals that inhabit these environments. The Xizang plateau frog (Nanorana parkeri) survives in high‐altitude environments through a synergistic strategy of metabolic remodeling and protein expression adjustment to optimize energy efficiency and enhance cellular protection.
