ABSTRACT Why did people join China's doomed Jasmine Revolution in 2011? And why, considering the deep motivation required to join, did they eventually stop? This ethnographic study, based on 4 months of observation of protest sites and discussions with participants, moves beyond previous research on the revolution's macropolitical failure by engaging ...

Enlightening the toxinological dark matter of spider venom enzymes
Spiders produce highly adapted venoms featuring a complex mixture of biomolecules used mainly for hunting and defense. The most prominent components are peptidic neurotoxins, a major focus of research and drug development, whereas venom enzymes have been

Occupation times on the legs of a diffusion spider [PDF]
We study the joint moments of occupation times on the legs of a diffusion spider. Specifically, we give a recursive formula for the Laplace transform of the joint moments, which extends earlier results for a one-dimensional diffusion. For a Bessel spider, of which the Brownian spider is a special case, our approach yields an explicit formula for the ...

Venomous spiders of Turkey (Araneae)
Over 50.000 species have been described on the world. Among them about 100 species are dangerous for human. Members of Latrodectus and Loxosceles share the habitats of human beings. Chemically, spider venom is heterogeneous, and contains poly peptide, poly amine, nucleic acid, free amino acid, monoamine, neurotoxin, enzyme and inorganic elements.

Venom gland organogenesis in the common house spider
AbstractVenom is a remarkable innovation found across the animal kingdom, yet the evolutionary origins of venom systems in various groups, including spiders, remain enigmatic. Here, we investigated the organogenesis of the venom apparatus in the common house spider,Parasteatoda tepidariorum.

BioTD: an online database of biotoxins [PDF]
Biotoxins, mainly produced by venomous animals, plants and microorganisms, exhibit high physiological activity and unique effects such as lowering blood pressure and analgesia. A number of venom-derived drugs are already available on the market, with many more candidates currently undergoing clinical and laboratory studies.
