Nanoporous Gold Membranes as Robust Constructs for Selectively Tunable Chemical Transport

Apr 28, 2016 | Application, Biology, Chemistry

DA McCurry, RC Bailey – The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 2016 Nanopores are promising structures for small volume separations, but often require complex top-down fabrication and are not easily (re)configurable to allow for dynamically tuned separations....

Stabilising survival selection on pre‐senescent expression of a sexual ornament followed by a terminal decline

Apr 28, 2016 | Application, Biology, Color Measurement

MJP Simons, M Briga, S Verhulst – Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2016 Senescence is a decrease in functional capacity, increasing mortality rate with age. Sexual signals indicate functional capacity, because costs of ornamentation ensure signal honesty, and...

Warning signal properties covary with toxicity but not testosterone or aggregate carotenoids in a poison frog

Apr 28, 2016 | Application, Biology, Color Measurement

L Crothers, RA Saporito, J Yeager, K Lynch, C Friesen… – Evolutionary Ecology Aposematic (warning) coloration is a highly conspicuous trait that is found throughout the animal kingdom. In several aposematic species, warning signals have been co-opted for use in...

Biologically Inspired Organic Light-Emitting Diodes

Mar 29, 2016 | Application, Biology, Fluorescence, LED Measurement

JJ Kim, J Lee, SP Yang, HG Kim, HS Kweon, SH Yoo… – Nano Letters, 2016 Courtship signals of many animal species have highly conspicuous traits for successful mating. Fireflies utilize their bioluminescent light as visual courtship signals. In addition to...

Optical aggregometry of red blood cells associated with the blood-clotting reaction in extracorporeal circulation support

Mar 29, 2016 | Application, Biology

D Sakota, R Kosaka, M Nishida, O Maruyama – Journal of Artificial Organs The aggregability of red blood cell (RBCs) is associated with the contribution of plasma proteins, such as fibrinogen and lipoproteids, to blood-clotting. Hence, we hypothesized that RBC...

DRACULA2, a dynamic nucleoporin with a role in the regulation of the shade avoidance syndrome in Arabidopsis

Mar 25, 2016 | Application, Biology

Marçal Gallemí, Anahit Galstyan, Sandi Paulišić, Christiane Then, Almudena Ferrández-Ayela, Laura Lorenzo-Orts, Irma Roig-Villanova, Xuewen Wang, Jose Luis Micol, Maria Rosa Ponce, Paul F. Devlin, Jaime F. Martínez-García – Development, 2016 When plants grow in...
