Information and Meaning in Life, Humans and Robots [PDF]
Information and meaning exist around us and within ourselves, and the same information can correspond to different meanings. This is true for humans and animals, and is becoming true for robots.

In various organisms, an efficient RNAi response can be triggered by feeding cells with bacteria producing double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) against an endogenous gene.

Immunological studies on the sexual recognition molecules in paramecium caudatum [PDF]
In Paramecium, when cells of the odd (O) and even (E) complementary mating types are mixed together under appropriate conditions, they undergo massive agglutination, which eventually leads to conjugation.

Gause's exclusion principle revisited: artificial modified species and competition
Gause's principle of competition between two species is studied when one of them is sterile. We study the condition for total extinction in the niche, namely, when the sterile population exterminates the native one by an optimal use of resources.

The mechanics of gravitaxis inParamecium [PDF]
SUMMARYAn analysis of swimming patterns in the ciliate Paramecium shows that the ability to swim preferentially upwards (negative gravitaxis) is primarily the result of upwardly curving trajectories. The trajectory characteristics are consistent with those produced by mechanical orientation. Cell profile measurements from microscope images suggest that

THE EFFECT OF CYANIDE ON RESPIRATION IN PARAMECIUM CAUDATUM AND PARAMECIUM AURELIA
1. The oxygen consumption in Paramecium caudatum and Paramecium aurelia is partially inhibited by potassium cyanide.2. The extent of inhibition by cyanide is dependent upon the food content of the organisms as well as upon the concentration of cyanide in the solution.3. In P.

1. The feeding apparatus in Paramecium consists of a shallow ciliated groove, a ciliated tube which leads into the body, and a bundle Of fibers (esophageal fibers) which extend from the tube nearly to the posterior end of the body. The tube is composed of an outer part (the vestibulum) and an inner part (the pharynx).2.

Somersault of Paramecium in extremely confined environments
We investigate various swimming modes of Paramecium in geometric confinements and a non-swimming self-bending behavior like a somersault, which is quite different from the previously reported behaviors.
