Functional analysis of sense organ specification in the Tribolium castaneum larva reveals divergent mechanisms in insects.
Insects and other arthropods utilise external sensory structures for mechanosensory, olfactory, and gustatory reception. These sense organs have characteristic shapes related to their function, and in many cases are distributed...

A Novel Adaptive Genetic Algorithm for Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem With Backhaul and Two-Dimensional Loading Constraints
In this paper, we consider an extension of the Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem with Backhauls integrated with two-dimensional loading problem called DVRPB with 2D loading constraints (2L-DVRPB). In the VRPB, a vehicle can...

User preferences and water use savings owing to washbasin taps retrofit
During the last decades, achieving water efficiency in buildings has increasingly become an important challenge in the scope of sustainability. Water consumption is directly related to individual conduct. Despite the various...
The effect of increasing Women's autonomy on primary and repeated caesarean sections in Brazil.
Caesarean section (C-section) rates continue to rise globally. Yet, there is little consensus about the key determinants of rising C-section rates and the sources of variation in C-section rates across the world. While...
Online or Offline Services for Urban Neighbourhoods?
Services originally developed as natural concentrations of human activity, reflecting the Christallerian hierarchy of central places. Today, those natural mechanisms are challenged by strong competition from online facilities....

Changes in the quantity and quality of time use during the COVID-19 lockdowns in the UK
We investigated changes in the quantity and quality of time spent on various activities in response to the COVID-19-induced national lockdowns in the UK. We examined effects both in the first national lockdown (May 2020) and the...
Addressing Sustainability of Sanitation Systems
Recently, a technical draft of the international standard ISO/DIS 30500 for non-sewered sanitation systems has been developed (publication expected for 2018). Its innovative feature is the inclusion of sustainable aspects. This...

Microbial stimulation fully differentiates monocytes to DC-SIGN/CD209 + dendritic cells for immune T cell areas
Dendritic cells (DCs), critical antigen-presenting cells for immune control, normally derive from bone marrow precursors distinct from monocytes. It is not yet established if the large reservoir of monocytes can develop into...

Molecular Basis of Mechanosensitivity
Josefina Ines del Marmol
Jan 01, 0001
Mechanosensation is arguably the least understood of all senses. For most physiological processes, the first response to membrane stress is thought to be the opening or closing of mechanosensitive channels1, but the clonal...

Fault-tolerant Coverage in Dense Wireless Sensor Networks
In this paper, we present methods to detect and recover from sensor failure in dense wireless sensor networks. In order to extend the lifetime of a sensor network while maintaining coverage, a minimal subset of the deployed...

Tracing the origin of heterogeneity and symmetry breaking in the early mammalian embryo.
A fundamental question in developmental and stem cell biology concerns the origin and nature of signals that initiate asymmetry leading to pattern formation and self-organization. Instead of having prominent pre-patterning...
