Integrative transcriptomic and machine learning approaches reveal candidate genes for silk and venom production in Bibionomorpha (Diptera)

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Multi‐species transcriptomics and deep learning identified candidate genes associated with silk and venom production in Bibionomorpha. Venom‐associated genes were enriched in proteases, inhibitors and pore‐forming proteins, whereas silk‐related genes showed chitin‐binding and peritrophin domains. Integrating co‐expression networks, machine learning and

Red-back spider (Latrodectus hasselti) antivenom prevents the toxicity of widow spider venoms

open access: yes, 2001
Study objectives: Widow spiders of the genus Latrodectus are found worldwide and produce similar clinical envenomation syndromes. In Australia, red-back spider antivenom (RBS-AV) is effective therapy for Latrodectus hasselti envenomation and it has been ...

What Can Spider Diagrams Say? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Spider diagrams are a visual notation for expressing logical statements. In this paper we identify a well known fragment of first order predicate logic, that we call ESD, equivalent in expressive power to the spider diagram language.

Judaism, Philo, and Hegel's Theology

open access: yesModern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract Hegel displays consistent interest in Judaism, but his presentation seems to differ widely between his earlier and later writings. Contemporary scholarly interpretations of this apparent change also differ widely. In this article, I present the interpretive problem as one of continuity‐discontinuity, and place the major scholarly treatments ...

Bioactivity profiling of spider venoms reveals predominant hyaluronidase activities

open access: yes
Spider venoms are primarily composed of small neurotoxic peptides. However, recent studies suggested a hitherto overlooked diversity of spider venom enzymes, although their functional space still remains largely unexplored. We tested 10 spider venoms for

Specific immunotherapy in Albanian patients with anaphylaxis to hymenoptera venoms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Background: Severe allergic reactions during rush-specific immunotherapy (Rush-SIT) may occur in the treatment of hymenoptera sting allergy. The objective of the present study was to examine the characteristics of allergic reactions during Rush-SIT in a ...

Spider Neurotoxins, Short Linear Cationic Peptides and Venom Protein Classification Improved by an Automated Competition between Exhaustive Profile HMM Classifiers

open access: yesToxins, 2017
Spider venoms are rich cocktails of bioactive peptides, proteins, and enzymes that are being intensively investigated over the years. In order to provide a better comprehension of that richness, we propose a three-level family classification system for ...

Middlebrow Aesthetics: An Explanation and Defense

open access: yesPacific Philosophical Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We offer a philosophical account of the middlebrow as a theoretical category to do explanatory and critical work in aesthetics. On our account, the middlebrow ought to be understood as aspirational popular art. That is, it is art which aspires both to be popular (in a distinctive sense), and at the same time to be something more than popular ...

Regulating Autonomous Weapon Systems: Searching for African Solutions to Regional and Global Problems

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS), while offering strategic advantages in warfare, pose significant ethical, legal, and security risks, especially for countries in the Global South. This article examines how a philosophical perspective, rooted in African ethical and political thought, can enrich regional and global debates on regulating ...
