Starfish vesicles

open access: yesEurophysics Letters (EPL), 1996
We report on an experimental and theoretical study of phospholipid vesicles at small reduced volume. In this regime, vesicle shapes are non-axisymmetric and resemble starfish.

Efficiency of starfish mopping in reducing predation on cultivated benthic mussels ( Mytilus edulis Linnaeus)

open access: yesAquaculture, 2016
The starfish, Asterias rubens, preys on mussels (Mytilus edulis), which are relaid during benthic cultivation processes. Starfish mops, a modified dredge used to remove starfish from mussel cultivation beds, are used in several fisheries today but few ...

STARFISH INSULIN

Canadian Journal of Biochemistry, 1965
Acid–isopropanol extraction of digestive tissue from the starfish (Pisaster ochraceous) yielded material with properties resembling those of insulins from vertebrate species. The starfish extract enhanced glycogen deposition in mouse diaphragm tissue, with a dose–response slope similar to that of crystalline insulin from the ox; this specific effect ...

Starfish on Strike

2010
This paper improves the price-performance ratio of ECM, the elliptic-curve method of integer factorization. In particular, this paper constructs "a = -1" twisted Edwards curves having Q-torsion group Z/2 x Z/4, Z/8, or Z/6 and having a known non-torsion point; demonstrates that, compared to the curves used in previous ECM implementations, some of the ...

The Starfish Assassin

Scientific American, 2015
The article offers information on the COTSbot robotic device developed by robotics researchers at Queensland University of Technology in Australia, that aims to stop crown of-thorns starfish (COTS) from destroying the Great Barrier Reef by giving them lethal injections.

The Starfish Procedure

Techniques in Orthopaedics, 2021
Partial hand amputations are devastating injuries, which can significantly impact ability to work and activities of daily living. Prosthetics can improve function for amputees; however, prosthesis utilization rates have historically been low in this patient population.

Proteinases of starfishes—I

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1975
Abstract 1. 1. A preparation from the pyloric caeca of starfishes is essentially a complex mixture of proteolytic enzymes. The preparation contains enzymes similar to carboxypeptidases A and B, leucine aminopeptidases and trypsin; chymotrypsin-, pepsin- and elastase-like enzymes are absent in the preparation. 2. 2.

Steroids from starfish

Steroids, 1973
Abstract Starfish Linckia multifora, Protoreaster nodosus, Protoreaster lincki, Culcita schmideliana, Nardoa variolata and Acanthaster planci were examined for sterols and sapogenins. All asteroids contained cholestanol in addition to C 27 to C 30 mono and diunsaturated sterols.

Studies on the starfish—II. Distribution of metabolites in the starfish Asterina pectinifera

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1974
Abstract 1. 1. The distribution of various protein and lipid metabolic substances has been studied in the organs and subcellular fractions of the pyloric caecum of the starfish. 2. 2. A high concentration of urea and creatinine were recognized in the pyloric caecum, but at the subcellular level most of the urea and inorganic phosphorus were ...

Reflections on the Starfish and the Spider

The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing, 2013
Organizations have varied configurations—top down, bottom up, matrixed, or flattened. This column explores the organizational structures described as resembling either a starfish or a spider in relation to the Professional Nurse Educators Group (PNEG), continuing education providers, and, most especially, the annual PNEG conference.
