Abstract Background Understanding genome organization and evolution is important for species involved in transmission of human diseases, such as mosquitoes.Anophelinae and Culicinae subfamilies of mosquitoes show striking differences in genome sizes, sex chromosome arrangements, behavior, and ability to transmit pathogens.However, the genomic basis

Easy-removal skin adhesives require a robust reversible adhesion.This requirement is addressed in this study with the fabrication of PDMS micro-patterned surfaces that inspired by gecko feet.The design of these gecko-inspired structures were aimed to maximize the ratio between pull-off strength and peel strength.They were fabricated using the laser
A new species of the genus Ripipteryx (Orthoptera: Tridactyloidea: Ripipterygidae) from the Toledo District of southern Belize is described and illustrated.Ripipteryx mopana sp.n.is placed in the Scrofulosa Group based on its elaborately ornamented frons and is readily distinguished from its congeners by the fusion of the superior and inferior fron
Premonitory urges (PUs) are sensory phenomena that immediately precede tics.The Premonitory Urge for Tics Scale (PUTS) is widely used to assess the severity of PUs, but the psychometric properties of PUTS and clinical features of PU in Chinese patients with tic disorders are still unclear.In this study, we examined the psychometric properties of th
