Multiplexed Bio‐detection on an Interferometric Optical Waveguide Assembly
Multiplexed remote bio‐detection is demonstrated through an image conduit composed of 3012 individual cores and coated with interferometric layers. The proof of concept of biodetection is performed through the kinetic monitoring of two complementary DNA strands hybridization paving the way for applications in multiplex in situ biosensing, and ...

A noninvasive method for in situ determination of mating success in female American lobsters (Homarus americanus) [PDF]
Despite being one of the most productive fisheries in the Northwest Atlantic, much remains unknown about the natural reproductive dynamics of American lobsters.

Detecting single molecules on large interfaces is challenging due to minimal perturbations on the sensing surface. Some biological systems achieve this feat using amplification mechanisms, but their molecular foundations remain unclear. To investigate, a Design of Experiments (DoE) approach examines how pH and ionic strength in conditioning solutions ...

Cryopreservation of common carp sperm [PDF]
Experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of five extenders (sucrose, glucose, fructose, KCl and a saline carp sperm extender) and two cryoprotectants (dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO) and methanol) on the cryopreservation of common carp sperm ...

The Impact of DNA as a Chemical Admixture for Cementitious Materials
DNA molecules are added to cement pastes and their effects on rheology and hydration time are studied. DNA's chemical structure is composed of polysaccharide and phosphate groups, which are active functional groups in different commercial chemical admixtures: Viscosity modifiers and superplasticizers.

Sperm Depletion and Mating Behavior in the Parasitoid Wasp \u3ci\u3eSpalangia Cameroni\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) [PDF]
Mating behavior was examined in the parasitoid wasp Spalangia cameroni. Males attempted copulation with both virgins and already mated females. Males attempted copulation regardless of whether they still had sperm. Already mated females rejected attempts

Sperm Motility Should be Assessed in Fresh Sperm and After a Sperm Washing Procedure [PDF]
A prospective study was carried out on semen samples from 118 consecutive unselected men attending our infertility clinic to determine whether sperm motility may be affected by seminal plasma. The incidence of asthenozoospermia as defined by fewer than 50% of spermatozoa with forward progressive motility in the untreated semen was 37.4%. This value was

Abstract Unspecific Peroxygenases have been the subject of a lot of research in the recent past as they offer opportunities for green hydroxylation reactions using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as donor. A striking problem of UPOs is their low stability against their own co‐substrate H2O2. In order to prevent the deactivation, we developed an enzyme cascade

Abstract Rodent models of epilepsy remain the cornerstone of research into the mechanisms underlying genetic epilepsy. Reproducibility of experiments using these rodent models, occurring across a diversity of laboratories and commercial vendors, remains an issue impacting the cost‐effectiveness and scientific rigor of the studies performed.

Sperm Activation: Time and Tide Wait for No Sperm [PDF]
Proper timing of sperm activation is required for reproductive success in Caenorhabditis elegans. The swm-1 gene encodes a predicted protease inhibitor that regulates sperm activation and the acquisition of amoeboid motility.
