Detector alignment for X‐ray crystallography using Millepede‐II

Journal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
A computational method for refinement of multi‐panel detector geometry has been adapted from high‐energy physics to serial crystallography. The method is many times faster and much more accurate than previous approaches.I describe a method for accurately refining the geometrical parameters of segmented X‐ray area detectors on the basis of serial ...

Games and gamification projects in the Australian public sector

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract This article surveys the arrival of gameful government into Australian public sector practice. Gameful government is a shorthand, descriptive term denoting the interpenetration of (video)games, and design elements and thinking from them, into public sector work.

GC-MS Analysis of Defensive Secretions of a Cuban Endemic Millipede of the Genus Rhinocricus—Chemical Prospecting of Neotropical Biodiversity

Chemistry Proceedings, 2023
The poly-component composition of repugnatorial secretions isolated from Rhinocricus duvernoyi Kasrh 1981 eco-geographical populations, inhabiting in the eastern zone of Cuban archipelago, was analyzed using GC-MS. Were identified several benzoquinonoids

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Owners’ Perceptions Do Not Match Actual Ground-Dwelling Invertebrate Diversity in Their Gardens

Diversity, 2021
Urban gardens are important for human well-being, biodiversity and other ecosystem functions. Biodiversity-promoting initiatives would benefit from their owners being aware of the state of biodiversity in their gardens. We examined whether garden owners’
