Ice Nuclei Activity in Stalagmites: A Case Study of Medieval Climate Optimum and Little Ice Age Periods
Primary biological aerosol particles (PBAP, also called bioaerosols) are airborne particles from integral or pieces of biological sources. The most abundant PBAP are bacteria, which have been shown in laborato...

Comparison of the Phenotypes and Genotypes of Biofilm and Solitary Epiphytic Bacterial Populations on Broad-Leaved Endive
The discovery that biofilms are ubiquitous among the epiphytic microflora of leaves has prompted research about the impact of biofilms on the ecology of epiphytic microorganisms and on the efficiency of strate...

Epidemiological Clues for Develo** Methods of Control of Bacterial Blight of Cantaloupe Caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. aptata
Since the early 1990’s, bacterial blight has emerged as an important disease of cantaloupe in France, particularly in the south-west but has caused epidemics in all the production regions of this country. The ...

Detection of Pseudomonas syringae pv. aptata in Irrigation Water Retention Basins by Immunofluorescence Colony-staining
Bacterial blight of cantaloupe (Cucumis melo) caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. aptata was first observed in south-western France and has since spread to all cantaloupe-growing areas of this country. Use of pest...

Cell Surface Area Regulation and Membrane Tension
The beautifully orchestrated regulation of cell shape and volume are central themes in cell biology and physiology. Though it is less well recognized, cell surface area regulation also constitutes a distinct ...

The spectrin skeleton of newly-invaginated plasma membrane
As a cell's shape and volume change, its surface area must re-adjust. How is the plasma membrane's spectrin skeleton implicated? For erythrocytes, cells of fixed surface area, spectrin responses to mechanical ...

F-actin at Newly Invaginated Membrane in Neurons: Implications for Surface Area Regulation
Neuronal shape and volume changes require accompanying cell surface adjustments. In response to osmotic perturbations, neurons show evidence of surface area regulation; shrinking neurons invaginate membrane a...

Neuronal Plasma Membrane Dynamics Evoked by Osmomechanical Perturbations
When neurons swell and shrink they extensively reorganize their plasma membrane. A striking aspect of these membrane dynamics is the transient appearance of vacuole-like dilations (VLDs) which, counterintuiti...

Responses of neurons to extreme osmomechanical stress
Neurons are often regarded as fragile cells, easily destroyed by mechanical and osmotic insult. The results presented here demonstrate that this perception needs revision. Using extreme osmotic swelling, we sh...

Discrete and reversible vacuole-like dilations induced by osmomechanical perturbation of neurons
In cultured Lymnaea stagnalis neurons, osmolarity increases (upshocks) rapidly elicited large membranous dilations that could be dislodged and pushed around inside the cell with a microprobe. Subsequent osmolarit...

Are stretch-sensitive channels in molluscan cells and elsewhere physiological mechanotransducers?
Single-channel recordings of dozens of cell types, including invertebrate (molluscan) and vertebrate heart cells, reveal stretch-sensitive ion channels. The physiological roles of these channels are undoubtedl...

Shock-wave equation-of-state studies at Los Alamos
A history of the shock-wave equation-of-state (EOS) studies at Los Alamos is given. Particular emphasis is placed on the pioneering research in the 1950s where many of the experimental techniques and methods o...
