Dynamic Current Routing in Conductive Liquid Crystal Elastomers for Complex Deformation Actuators
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This work introduces a novel actuation control strategy in which electrical stimulation generates localized Joule heating in conductive liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) surfaces, enabling complex 3D deformations from a single homogeneous surface without preprogramming.

Failure of long-term memory formation in juvenile snails is determined by acetylation status of histone H3 and can be improved by NaB treatment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Animals' capacities for different forms of learning do not mature simultaneously during ontogenesis but the molecular mechanisms behind the delayed development of specific types of memory are not fully understood.

EVALUATION OF THE DEGREE OF SNAIL MEAT FRESHNESS BY THE PHOTOMETRIC METHOD
Harčova Nauka ì Tehnologìâ, 2022 This work focuses on developing a method of determining the degree of freshness of snail meat by means of a photoelectric photometer. For this, the absorbance was measured in filtered meat-water extract with Nessler’s reagent added.

Effect of cadmium on cytosine hydroxymethylation in gastropod hepatopancreas [PDF]
, 2017 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is an important, yet poorly understood epigenetic DNA modification, especially in invertebrates. Aberrant genome-wide 5hmC levels have been associated with cadmium (Cd) exposure in humans, but such information is lacking ...

Use of the dart apparatus by the hermaphroditic land snail Polymita muscarum (Lea, 1834). [PDF]
, 2007 Many species of pulmonate land snails are equipped with one or more so-called "love darts". Even though the number and shape of these calcareous darts vary considerably between species, dart use has only been investigated in very few species.
