ANTAGONISTIC REGULATION BY INSULIN-LIKE PEPTIDE AND ACTIVIN ENSURES THE ELABORATION OF APPROPRIATE DENDRITIC FIELD SIZES OF AMACRINE NEURONS

Antagonistic regulation by insulin-like peptide and activin ensures the elaboration of appropriate dendritic field sizes of amacrine neurons

Establishing appropriate sizes and shapes of dendritic arbors is critical for proper wiring of the central nervous system.Here we report that Insulin-like Peptide 2 (DILP2) locally activates transiently expressed insulin receptors in the central dendrites of Drosophila Dm8 amacrine neurons to positively Collections regulate dendritic field elaborat

Alien leaf beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) of European Russia and some general tendencies of leaf beetle invasions.

Invasions of leaf beetles can cause tremendous economic consequences because some of these insects become major pests in invaded territories.We present the first inventory of alien Chrysomelidae of European Russia that appeared in the region in the 20th and 21st centuries (9 species) with analysis of the history of their invasions and detailed maps

Exergy Analysis of Complex Ship Energy Systems

With multiple primary and secondary energy converters (diesel engines, steam turbines, waste heat recovery (WHR) and oil-fired boilers, etc.) and extensive energy networks (steam, cooling water, exhaust gases, etc.), ships may be considered as complex energy systems.Understanding and optimizing such systems requires advanced holistic energy modelin
