The control of body size in insects

open access: yesDevelopmental Biology, 2003
Control mechanisms that regulate body size and tissue size have been sought at both the cellular and organismal level. Cell-level studies have revealed much about the control of cell growth and cell division, and how these processes are regulated by nutrition.

Biomimetic Cell Membrane‐Coated Scaffolds for Enhanced Tissue Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines the development and use of cell membrane‐coated scaffolds in tissue engineering. Bioinspired phospholipid and glycocalyx coatings enhance anti‐fouling, anti‐thrombogenic, and selective molecular recognition properties. Native cell membrane coatings further support cell‐specific interactions, immune modulation, and reduced bacterial

Organic Centre Wales Technical Note 3: Biology and Management of Soil pests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The majority of crops grown in the UK are host to single or multiple insect pests that feed on the growing plant at some stage of their life cycle. Insect pest is not strictly correct terminology because the pests come from a wide range of families or ...

Electroplated Polymer‐Modified Carbon Fiber for Performance‐Enhancing Composite Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Chitosan is electrodeposited onto the surface of carbon fibers in an energy‐efficient and simplified procedure, enhancing interfacial bonding potential with various epoxy matrices. The coated fibers effectively function as reinforcing fillers in both continuous and discontinuous states.

Market-Based Instruments for the Optimal Control of Invasive Insect Species: B. Tabaci in Arizona [PDF]

open access: yes
Invasive insect species represent perhaps one of the most significant potential sources of economic risk to U.S. agricultural production. Private control of invasive insect species is likely to be insufficient due to negative externality and weaker-link ...

The weevil-watermilfoil interaction at different spatial scales: what we know and what we need to know [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The North American weevil ( Euhrychiopsis lecontei (Dietz)) is being considered as a biological control agent for Eurasian watermilfoil ( Myriophyllum spicatum L.).

Soft Electromagnetic Actuator and Oscillator

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
This work presents a groundbreaking soft electromagnetic system capable of bistable actuation and self‐regulated oscillation. Using liquid metal and silicone as a compliant conductor, the actuator enables force generation, sensing, and feedback with minimal power.

Impact of Changes in U.S. Grain Standards on Discounts for Insects in Stored Grain [PDF]

open access: yes
The Federal Grain Inspection Service changed U.S. grain standards in 1988. Insect discounts given at country elevators and at terminal elevators were analyzed to determine impacts of the new standards.
