The Stab Resistance of Bombyx Mori Silk Cocoons
This study compares the stab responses of Bombyx mori silk cocoons in the forms of both full uncut cocoons, and as cut sections. This work indicates that the testing of full cocoons is more appropriate than that of cut outs, as the cut outs are endure significantly more artificial damage prior to testing, altering the mechanical behavior of the ...

Aedes aegypti Pupae are Highly Susceptible to Infection by Metarhizium anisopliae Blastospores
The mosquito Aedes aegypti vectors arboviruses such as urban yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya and Zika. Reducing the vector population is still the most effective method to decrease the spread of arboviruses. Fungi are the main natural disease agents of

Fast determination of coarse grained cell anisotropy and size in epithelial tissue images using Fourier transform [PDF]
Mechanical strain and stress play a major role in biological processes such as wound healing or morphogenesis. To assess this role quantitatively, fixed or live images of tissues are acquired at a cellular precision in large fields of views. To exploit these data, large numbers of cells have to be analyzed to extract cell shape anisotropy and cell size.

Neurodegenerative and Neurodevelopmental Roles for Bulk Lipid Transporters VPS13A and BLTP2
Abstract Background Bridge‐like lipid transfer proteins (BLTPs) mediate bulk lipid transport at membrane contact sites. Mutations in BLTPs are linked to both early‐onset neurodevelopmental and later‐onset neurodegenerative diseases, including movement disorders.

X-ray linear dichroic ptychography [PDF]
Biominerals such as seashells, corals skeletons, bone, and enamel are optically anisotropic crystalline materials with unique nano- and micro-scale organization that translates into exceptional macroscopic mechanical properties, providing inspiration for engineering new and superior biomimetic structures.

Larvae and pupae of New Guinea Tabanidae (Diptera) : 1. Species of Chrysops Meigen [PDF]
Information on the immature stages of Australasian Tabanidae found in published literature dealt with only 17 species, all so far known only from Australia and none representing the genus Chrysops Meigen.

Fall armyworm (FAW) preferred ovipositing on vegetative‐stage soybeans. While ‘mother knows best’ may not apply in soybean‐FAW system, muffled cues in the reproductive stage could positively influence host success. Abstract BACKGROUND While the mother knows best/preference performance hypothesis has been well tested in natural ecosystems, how these ...
