Dimorphic cocoons of the cecropia moth (Hyalophora cecropia): Morphological, behavioral, and biophysical differences
The larvae of the giant silk moth (Hyalophora cecropia) spin strikingly dimorphic, multilayered cocoons that are either large and fluffy (baggy) or significantly smaller and tightly woven (compact). Although these cocoon-morphs share the same function (i.e., housing for pupal to adult development during overwintering), previous work has been unable to determine why cocoon dimorphism exists. We ...
متن کاملStructure and properties of cocoons and silk fibers produced by Hyalophora cecropia
This paper shows that silk fibers produced by cecropia (Hyalophora cecropia) have similar tensile properties but different amino acid composition than that of mulberry (Bombyx mori) silk. The cecropia fibers are also much finer and have better strength and modulus than tasar silk, the most common non-mulberry silk. Cecropia is one of the largest silk producing moths and has similar lifecycle to...

متن کاملSome notes on distributions
Formally, distributions are usually defined as continuous linear functions on a certain topological vector space of “test functions”. However, it is not surprising that useful mathematical objects such as distributions also have a natural, concrete description. We shall start from this viewpoint, and later explain the abstraction to topological vector spaces, and explain why the latter is impor...
متن کاملSome Notes on Novarsenobillon
During my service i;n the Voluntary Venereal Hospital, Alipore, I had occasion to make many injections of novarsenobillon. I have kept notes of this work, and as I have now left that institution, I am summarising the practical points in the hope that my experience may be of interest to those who have less frequent opportunities of using" this drug". I have already published in the Indian Medica...
