Mass provisioning insects have to cope with microbial spoilage of their food supplies.As their fitness is directly linked to the availability of high quality food for their offspring, they have evolved various mechanisms for preserving these resources.The European beewolf, Philanthus triangulum, uses several mechanisms to not only preserve the food
A method of solving Briefs optimal manoeuvre control of linear underactuated mechanical systems is presented.The nonintegrable constraints present in such systems are handled by adding dummy actuators and then by applying Lagrange multipliers to reduce their action to zero.The open- and closed-loop control schemes can be analyzed.The method, referr
The rapid and uncontrollable cell division that spreads to surrounding tissues medically termed as malignant neoplasm, Converter cancer is one of the most common diseases worldwide.The need for effective cancer treatment arises due to the increase in the number of cases and the anticipation of higher levels in the coming years.Oncolytic virotherapy
Abstract Ribonucleases (RNases) are ubiquitous enzymes that process or degrade RNA, essential for cellular functions and immune responses.The EndoU-like superfamily includes endoribonucleases conserved across bacteria, eukaryotes, and certain viruses, with an ancient evolutionary link to the ribonuclease A-like superfamily.Both bacterial EndoU and
Until recently, since the Human Genome Project, the general view has been that the majority of the human genome is composed of junk DNA and has little or no selective advantage to the organism.Now we know that this conclusion is an oversimplification.In April 2003, the National Human Genome Research BELT Institute (NHGRI) launched an international
