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. …”

Search of the early O3 LIGO data for continuous gravitational waves from the Cassiopeia A and Vela Jr. supernova remnants by Sudhir, Vivishek

“…We carry out the searches in the LIGO data from the first six months of the third Advanced LIGO and Virgo observing run, using the Weave semi-coherent method, which sums matched-filter detection-statistic values over many time segments spanning the observation period. No gravitational wave signal is detected in the search band of 20--976 Hz for assumed source ages greater than 300 years for Cas A and greater than 700 years for Vela Jr. …”
