Reef-building corals produce planktonic planula larvae that must select an appropriate habitat to settle and spend the rest of their life, a here behaviour that plays a critical role in survival.Here, we report that larvae obtained from a deep-water population of Pseudodiploria strigosa settled more readily under blue light and in the dark, which a
Nuclear energy skull bride and groom boom is starting nowadays.But also current nuclear power plants (NPP) are duty to certify their security for regular renewal of their operating licenses.NPP security can be significantly affected by defects of large amount of ageing reinforced concrete structures.Advanced Impact-Echo method seams to be very hope
Jumping in planthopper and froghopper insects is propelled by a catapult-like mechanism requiring mechanical storage of energy and its quick release to accelerate the hind legs rapidly.To understand the functional biomechanics involved in these challenging movements, the internal skeleton, tendons and muscles involved were reconstructed in 3-D from
After the invasion of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in China at the end of 2018 or at the beginning of 2019, it spreads rapidly and becomes a seasonal migrating pest that seriously threatens the maize production in China.The long-distance migration of adult fall armyworm is closely related to the seasonal changes of atmospheric circulation
Dacarbazine (DTIC) dominates chemotherapy for malignant melanoma (MM).However, the hydrophobicity, photosensitivity, instability, and toxicity to normal cells of DTIC limit its efficacy in treating MM.In the present study, we constructed star-shaped block polymers nanoparticles (NPs) based on Cholic acid -poly (lactide-co-glycolide)-b-polyethylene
