Differential susceptibility to parasites of invasive and native species of Artemia living in sympatry: consequences for the invasion of A. franciscana in the Mediterranean region
Elucidating the mechanisms making a successful invader remains a central problem in invasion ecology. There is growing evidence supporting that the outcome of competition between species can be controlled by p...

Cestode parasitism in invasive and native brine shrimps (Artemia spp.) as a possible factor promoting the rapid invasion of A. franciscana in the Mediterranean region
Artemia franciscana is an invasive crustacean expanding its range in hypersaline wetlands in the Mediterranean region and replacing native Artemia parthenogenetica and Artemia salina. Native brine shrimps are kno...

Red and transparent brine shrimps (Artemia parthenogenetica): a comparative study of their cestode infections
Although the red colour of brine shrimps has previously been supposed to be associated with cestode parasitism, no evidence has been provided that red and transparent brine shrimps differ in their role for ces...

Contact mechanics of a flexible imprinter for photocured nanoimprint lithography
A flexible imprinter can be used to accommodate substrate or template roughness in nanoimprint lithography. The contact mechanics of a multi-layer imprinter incorporating bending and local deformation is descr...

Nanofoam Porosity Measured by Infrared Spectroscopy and Refractive Index
Infrared spectroscopy and optical waveguide were used to determine the porosity of polymer nanofoams produced from block copolymers of an aromatic polyimide endcapped with either poly(propyIene oxide) or poly(...

Polyimide Nanofoams For Low Dielectric Applications
Foamed polyimides have been developed in order to obtain thin film dielectric layers with very low dielectric constants for use in microelectronic devices. In these systems the pore sizes are in the nanometer ...

Prediction of branching (or relaxation) angle in anisotropic or isotropic elastic bimaterials with rigid substrate
This paper focuses on isotropic and anisotropic materials welded to a rigid substrate with a debond crack on its interface. The contact zone model is used in all the cases obtaining results for the near-tip di...

Fluorinated Polyimide Block Copolymers
Block copolymers based on the poly(amic ester) of poly(4,4′-oxydiphenylenepyromellitide) and perfluorcalkylene aryl ethers were synthesized from preformed amine terminated perfluoroalkylene aryl ether oligornc...
