Interfacial Yield Stress Response in Synthetic Mucin Solutions

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The solution rheology of novel synthetic mucins mimicking natural mucin domains is studied. Like many natural mucin solutions, apparent solid‐like rheology is seen. However, no bulk structural features are found to explain it. Interfacial rheology and robust modelling reveal that this arises from molecular associations at the air–water interface ...

A Rhodnius prolixus Insulin Receptor and Its Conserved Intracellular Signaling Pathway and Regulation of Metabolism

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
The insulin signaling pathway is a modulator of metabolism in insects and can regulate functions associated with growth and development, as well as lipid and carbohydrate balance. We have previously reported the presence of an insulin-like peptide and an

What Can Plasticity Contribute to Insect Responses to Climate Change?

Annual Review of Entomology, 2016
Plastic responses figure prominently in discussions on insect adaptation to climate change. Here we review the different types of plastic responses and whether they contribute much to adaptation. Under climate change, plastic responses involving diapause

Wolbachia and DNA barcoding insects: patterns, potential and problems [PDF]

, 2012
Wolbachia is a genus of bacterial endosymbionts that impacts the breeding systems of their hosts. Wolbachia can confuse the patterns of mitochondrial variation, including DNA barcodes, because it influences the pathways through which mitochondria are ...

Finite element approach to trap-insect model [PDF]

, 2015
The trap-insect model considered in this presentation comprises a system of two advection-diffusion-reaction equations. We develop finite element approximation of the solution of the model in order to produce accurate numerical simulations using a non ...
