Chasing behaviour and optomotor following in free-flying male blowflies: flight performance and interactions of the underlying control systems

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2010
The chasing behaviour of male blowflies after small targets belongs to the most rapid and virtuosic visually guided behaviours found in nature. Since in a structured environment any turn towards a target inevitably leads to a displacement of the entire ...

Analysing the significance of small conformational changes and low occupancy states in serial crystallographic data

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This protocol paper outlines methods to establish the success of a time‐resolved serial crystallographic experiment, by means of statistical analysis of timepoint data in reciprocal space and models in real space. We show how to amplify the signal from excited states to visualise structural changes in successful experiments.

ENGINEERING OF THE BOOST SYSTEM FOR SMALL-SIZE GAS-TURBINE ENGINE WITH PULSE-DETONATION MODULE

Научный вестник МГТУ ГА, 2017
One of the promising ways to boost the gas turbine engine is to install a pulse detonation module in the exhaust case. Research on the effectiveness of the developed module in the expenditure thermal vacuum chamber, providing a complete simulation of ...

Impact of Aedes aegypti V1016I and F1534C knockdown resistance genotypes on operational interventions

Scientific Reports
Resistance to pyrethroids is common in Aedes aegypti populations. Mutations in the voltage gated sodium channel have an influence on the insecticide resistance (IR) phenotype.

Adding Fruit Fermentation Liquid Improves the Efficiency of the Black Soldier Fly in Converting Chicken Manure and Reshapes the Structure of Its Intestinal Microbial Community

Insects
This study evaluated how fruit fermentation liquid (FFL) enhances the conversion of chicken manure by black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) and modulates their gut microbiota.

Prediction of abundance of forest flies (Diptera) according to climate scenarios RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 in South Korea

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2015
This aim of this study was to project the future changes of abundance of dipteran families due to climate change using nationwide fly data of surveys conducted for 4 years from 2006 at 295 sites (forests).

Fly-scan ptychography [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2015
AbstractWe report an experimental ptychography measurement performed in fly-scan mode. With a visible-light laser source, we demonstrate a 5-fold reduction of data acquisition time. By including multiple mutually incoherent modes into the incident illumination, high quality images were successfully reconstructed from blurry diffraction patterns.

A 73‐Year‐Old Man With Several Years of Difficulty Climbing Stairs and Frequent Tripping

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 73‐year‐old man presented with progressive weakness and atrophy predominantly affecting the distal finger flexors and quadriceps muscles. Electrophysiological studies demonstrated mixed myogenic and neurogenic features. Muscle MRI showed inflammatory changes, and muscle biopsy revealed granulomatous myositis with histologic features ...

Disentangling of Local and Wide-Field Motion Adaptation

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021
Motion adaptation has been attributed in flying insects a pivotal functional role in spatial vision based on optic flow. Ongoing motion enhances in the visual pathway the representation of spatial discontinuities, which manifest themselves as velocity ...

Spatial Distribution of the Goldenrod Ball Gall Insects [PDF]

, 2017
The goldenrod ball gall fly, Eurosta solidaginis (Diptera: Tephritidae), is parasitized by two eurytomid wasps and preyed on by a mordellid beetle, and two bird species. The birds are known to prey most intensively near a forest edge.
