Genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of buff‐tailed bumblebees in Asia

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the genetic differentiation and local adaptation of the buff‐tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) across its European and Asian populations. Using whole‐genome resequencing, we identified distinct genetic differences between populations, with Asian B. terrestris representing a unique genetic resource.

Photoperiod‐Regulated Thermal Tolerance of the Non‐Diapausing Insect Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Developmental photoperiodic exposure (photoacclimation) from egg to adult emergence alters thermal tolerance in Ceratitis capitata. Flies reared under contrasting photoperiods (0:24, 8:16, 14:10, and 24:0 L:D) showed significant shifts in both CTmin and CTmax, whereas adult‐only photoacclimation affected CTmax but not CTmin.

Effect of Magnetic Field-Assisted Super-Chilling Storage on Dumpling Wrapper Quality [PDF]

Shipin Kexue
We studied the effect of magnetic fields on the freezing curve of dumplings. Furthermore, we investigated the effect of magnetic field-assisted super-chilling storage on the color, cooking properties, texture, water distribution, and moisture uniformity ...

Dehydration‐driven organization of metabolites into NaDES‐like assemblies in orthodox seeds

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Desiccation tolerance in plants, especially during orthodox seed dehydration, relies on compatible solute accumulation, complex molecular mechanisms, and intermolecular organizations that remain poorly understood. We combined metabolite profiling, mass spectrometry imaging, and electrospray and cold‐spray ionization mass spectrometry to ...

Serum‐derived albumin as a cryoprotective agent for the long‐term storage of red blood cells: A preliminary examination

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cryopreservation extends the shelf life of red blood cells (RBC) from weeks to years, offering major advantages for blood banking logistics, especially in remote environments. However, current glycerol‐based methods, though effective, are limited in scope due to complex post‐thaw washing and incompatibility with routine clinical ...

Experimental Study on Preparation and Properties of New Paraffin Emulsion for Ice Slurry

Zhileng xuebao, 2017
A new kind of emulsion was prepared as a cold storage material for ice slurry using high-speed stirring and an ultra-sonication bath. Liquid paraffin and a compound of sodium oleate and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) were chosen as the oil phase

Winter climates and coldhardiness in terrestrial insects

European Journal of Entomology, 2005
Overwintering insects must avoid injury and death from the freezing of tissues and from metabolic disruptions associated with exposure to low, non-freezing temperatures.

Time-dependent four-point density correlation functions in supercooled liquids

, 1999
Dynamical heterogeneity and the decoupling of diffusion and structural relaxation in a supercooled liquid is investigated in terms of a time-dependent, fourth-order density correlation function. The generalized susceptibility $χ_4(t)$ corresponding to this correlation function has a maximum at an intermediate time $t_4^*$, and both $t_4^*$ and $χ_4(t_4^

Quasivoids in Polydisperse Glassy Systems With Atomistic PEL Exploration and Iso‐Configuration Method

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the microscopic relaxation mechanisms in amorphous solids remains a fundamental challenge. A theoretical framework posits that dynamics are mediated by quasivoids: transient, localized quasi‐particles that are the amorphous analogue of crystalline vacancies.

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...
