The evolution of signalling and monitoring in plant-fungal networks by Scott, T, Kiers, ET, West, SA

“…Indeed, selection is often more likely to push plant behavior in the opposite direction—with plants signaling dishonestly about an attack that has not occurred, or suppressing a cue that they have been attacked. Instead, we show that there are two viable alternatives that could explain the empirical data: 1) the process of being attacked leads to a cue (information about the attack) which is too costly for the attacked plant to fully suppress; 2) mycorrhizal fungi monitor their host plants, detect when they are attacked, and then the fungi signal this information to warn other plants in their network. …”

Dual Origin of Viscoelasticity in Polymer-Carbon Black Hydrogels: A Rheometry and Electrical Spectroscopy Study by Legrand, Gauthier, Manneville, Sébastien, McKinley, Gareth H., Divoux, Thibaut

“…Here we focus on aqueous dispersions of hydrophobic colloidal soot particles, namely carbon black (CB) dispersed with a sodium salt of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), a food additive known as cellulose gum that bears hydrophobic groups, which are liable to bind physically to CB particles. …”

Modeling of formation and breaking of lubricant bridge in the head–disk interface by molecular dynamic simulation by Dai, Xiangyu, Li, Hui, Lei, Xiao, Shen, Shengnan, Wu, Shijing, Liu, Sen, Du, Hejun

“…And the duration of lubricant bridge is notably affected by heating-up time, rotation speed and bearing pressure. A shorter heating-up time leads to a longer duration of lubricant bridge, whereas a higher rotation speed and bearing pressure reduces the duration of lubricant bridge.…”

A 2'-alkynylnucleotide strategy for site-directed spin labelling of DNA by Haugland, M

“…Herein is also outlined the preparation of azide-bearing nitroxyl radicals. After site-selective incorporation of 2'-alkynylnucleosides into DNA using a standard solid-supported phosphoramidite protocol, the modified oligonucleotides were spin labelled with the azide-bearing nitroxyl spin labels via the Cu(I)-catalysed azide-alkyne [3+2] Huisgen cycloaddition (CuAAC or 'click' reaction). …”
