Choreography of silk spinning by webspinners (Insecta: Embioptera) reflects lifestyle and hints at phylogeny [PDF]

, 2016
Silk spinning defines the morphologically constrained embiopterans. All individuals spin for protection, including immatures, adult males and the wingless females. Enlarged front tarsi are packed with silk glands and clothed with ejectors.

Preparation and Characterization of AMT/Co(acac)3-Loaded PAN/PS Micro-Nanofibers with Large through-Pores

Nanoscale Research Letters, 2019
This study focused on the fabrication and characterization of ammonium metatungstate hydrate (AMT) combined with cobalt(III) acetylacetonate (Co(acac)3)-loaded electrospun micro-nanofibers. The morphologies, structures, element distribution, through-pore

Secondary Metabolism and Hormone Response Reveal the Molecular Mechanism of Triploid Mulberry (Morus Alba L.) Trees Against Drought

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The improvement of a plant's tolerance to drought is a major endeavor in agriculture. Polyploid plants often exhibit enhanced stress tolerance relative to their diploid progenitor, but the matching stress tolerance is still little understood.

Constraining the distribution of dark matter at the Galactic centre using the high-resolution Event Horizon Telescope [PDF]

, 2013
We investigate constraints on the distribution of dark matter in the neighbourhood of the Galactic centre that may eventually be attained with the high-resolution Event Horizon Telescope (EHT).

Star Formation-Regulated Growth of Black Holes in Protogalactic Spheroids [PDF]

, 2000
The observed relation between central black hole mass and spheroid velocity dispersion is interpreted in terms of a self-regulation model that incorporates a viscous Keplerian accretion disk to feed the black hole, embedded in a massive, self-gravitating

Complete characterization and comparative analysis of the mitochondrial genome of Indian tasar silkworm Antheraea mylitta (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) and phylogenetic implications

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity
The Indian tasar silkworm Antheraea mylitta (A. mylitta) is an economically important silkmoth and is native to tropical India. Our current research has deciphered the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of A.

On the First Generation of Stars [PDF]

, 2006
We argue that the first stars may have spanned the conventional mass range rather than be identified with the Very Massive Objects (100-1000 solar masses) favoured by numerical simulations.
