Kleptoparasitism in Arcotheres exiguus (Burger, 1895): Symbiotic Dynamics and Reproductive Implications in Paphia malabarica from the Southwest Coast of India

International Journal of Bio-Resource and Stress Management
The present study conducted from April to September, 2024 along the southwest coast of Maharashtra, India, to investigate the host–symbiont relationship between the pinnotherid pea crab Arcotheres exiguus and its bivalve host Paphia malabarica ...

Status of household dietary diversity and associated factors among rural and urban households of Northern Uganda

BMC Nutrition, 2023
Background In Northern Uganda, 21 and 52.4% of children under five are underweight and stunted, respectively while 32.9% of pregnant women are anemic. This demographic situation suggests among other issues, a lack of dietary diversity among households ...

Physiological and biochemical responses of harvested rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L.) fruits to postharvest dip treatments during storage

Environment Conservation Journal, 2018
The effect of pretreatments on rambutan fruit (Nephelium lappaceum L.) browning properties during storage or shelf-life was determined. Water loss in rambutan fruits induces degradation of nutritional value and imposes stress that increases respiration ...

To Harvest or Not to Harvest: Mapping and Decision-Making for a Selective Table Grape Harvesting Robot

IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters
This letter focuses on robotic harvesting of delicate crops such as table grapes, featuring selective harvesting based on individual product properties. The robot detects grape bunches and estimates their positions and quality attributes. However, sensor limitations and occlusions affect data completeness and accuracy, reducing the cost-effectiveness ...

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Entropy Harvesting [PDF]

Entropy, 2013
The paper introduces the notion of “entropy harvesting” in physical and biological systems. Various physical and natural systems demonstrate the ability to decrease entropy under external stimuli. These systems, including stretched synthetic polymers, muscles, osmotic membranes and suspensions containing small hydrophobic particles, are called ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.
