Investing in attachment: evolution of anchoring structures in acanthocephalan parasites

Secure attachment to host tissues is essential for survival and reproduction in parasitic organisms. The production of elaborate attachment structures must be costly, however, and investments in attachment should be approximately proportional to the likelihood that a parasite will be dislodged. In the present study, relative investments in attachment as a function of body size and the type of h...

Selected topics on quadrature domains ?

This is a selection of facts, old and new, about quadrature domains. The text, written in the form of a survey, is addressed to non-experts and covers a variety of phenomena related to quadrature domains. Such as: the difference between quadrature domains for subharmonic, harmonic and respectively complex analytic functions, geometric properties of the boundary, instability in the reverse Hele-...

Selected topics on Hadrons in Nuclei

In this talk we report on selected topics on hadrons in nuclei. The first topic is the renormalization of the width of the Λ(1520) in a nuclear medium. This is followed by a short update of the situation of the ω in the medium. The investigation of the properties of K̄ in the nuclear medium from the study of the (Kflight, p) reaction is also addressed, as well as properties of X,Y,Z charmed and ...
