Protocol optimization for simultaneous DNA and RNA co-extraction from single hard tick specimens
MethodsX, 2021 Hard ticks are important vectors of DNA- and RNA-based infectious microorganisms, but they also host complex microbial communities in which pathogens and symbionts can interact among each other and with the arthropod host itself. Molecular investigations

Interference Pattern Caused by Bilateral Bone Conduction Stimulation Impairs Sound Localization
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work explores how crosstalk‐induced wave interference affects bone conduction (BC) sound localization. Using a theoretical model, cadaveric vibrometry, and psychoacoustic tests, atypical BC lateralization patterns are revealed that contradict air conduction (AC) principles.

Prizing on Paths: A PTAS for the Highway Problem [PDF]
, 2010 In the highway problem, we are given an n-edge line graph (the highway), and a set of paths (the drivers), each one with its own budget. For a given assignment of edge weights (the tolls), the highway owner collects from each driver the weight of the ...

Cross-reactivity between hard tick antigens.
Brazilian journal of medical and biological research = Revista brasileira de pesquisas medicas e biologicas, 1994 1. The present study was carried out to determine the target cells and tissues for anti-tick immunoglobulins using an indirect immunohistochemical technique. 2. Sections in triplicate prepared from unfed ticks Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, R. evertsi and Amblyomma variegatum were used to assess the cross-reactivity of serum from guinea pigs naturally ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The Tai Ji symbol from China represents the co‐existence of two opposite substances, similar to quantum entanglement. The term Janus comes from ancient Roman religion and mythology. Janus, the god of beginnings, transitions, etc., has two faces, symbolizing duality. Janus cellulose nanomaterials show structural duality.
