An investigation on the role of tarsal flexibility in insect walking by Tjuatja, Johan

“…Although there is a wealth of literature on various physical properties of insect leg, such as strength and inner structure, there seems to be a lack of knowledge on the functions or roles of the individual leg segments, such as the tarsus. While the tarsus has been long known to be flexible, there has currently been no study that explains what the purpose of this flexibility is in insect leg. …”

Design, synthesis, characterization and property study of topological structures of DNA by Li, Dawei

“…It is also shown unprecedentedly in our investigation that the size of DNA writhe could be accurately engineered by altering T-rich and A-rich segments in the target duplex DNAs. In addition, the results of our studies confirmed that the intrinsic curvatures of organismal DNAs alone could lead to the generation of duplex backbone self-crossings in their relaxed forms and the backbone self-crossings of those organismal DNAs could be readily confirmed through atomic force microscopic examination. …”

Investigating the impact of growth arrest mechanisms on tumour growth and responses to radiotherapy and hyperthermia by Colson, C

“…In each regime, we determine the biological processes that may underpin positive and negative treatment outcomes and assess which treatment (RT, HT or RT + HT) and dosing regimen maximise the reduction in tumour burden. This work enables us to generate a set of hypotheses that may explain some of the widely varying tumour behaviours observed experimentally and clinically.…”
