متن کاملInsect capa neuropeptides impact desiccation and cold tolerance.
The success of insects is linked to their impressive tolerance to environmental stress, but little is known about how such responses are mediated by the neuroendocrine system. Here we show that the capability (capa) neuropeptide gene is a desiccation- and cold stress-responsive gene in diverse dipteran species. Using targeted in vivo gene silencing, physiological manipulations, stress-tolerance...
متن کاملInteractions of selected insect neuropeptides with synthetic lipids.
Interactions of the insect neuropeptide proctolin (Arg-Tyr-Leu-Pro-Thr), its [beta-cyclohexyl-(4-O-methyl)2]-L-alanine analog, and the leucopyrokinin [2-8]-fragment (Thr-Ser-Phe-Thr-Pro-Arg-Leu-NH2), with synthetic phospholipids (DPPC, DMPE, DMPG) were studied using the microcalorimetric method. Most pronounced changes of the lipid thermotropic behavior were observed with DMPG/leucopyrokinin [2...
متن کاملdevelopment and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle
in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
15 صفحه اولWorker reproduction and policing in insect societies: an ESS analysis.
Insect societies are vulnerable to exploitation by workers who reproduce selfishly rather than help to rear the queen's offspring. In most species, however, only a small proportion of the workers reproduce. Here, we develop an evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) model to investigate factors that could explain these observed low levels of reproductive exploitation. Two key factors are identifie...
