The paper introduced application status of industrial Ethernet in digital mine construction, proposed network framework of a digital monitoring and control system of mine hoist based on double ring networks and Siemens Drivetrain S7-200 PLC, and introduced software and hardware designs of the system.The system can realize monitoring functions of wo
Abstract Evolutionary arms-races between avian brood parasites and their hosts have typically resulted in some spectacular adaptations, namely remarkable host ability to recognize and reject alien eggs and, in turn, sophisticated parasite egg mimicry.In a striking contrast to hosts sometimes rejecting even highly mimetic eggs, the same species typi
In insects, a parental immune challenge can prepare and enhance offspring immune activity.Previous studies of such transgenerational immune priming (TGIP) mainly focused on a single offspring life stage.However, different developmental stages may be exposed to different risks and show different susceptibility to parental immune priming.Here we addr
The genome of the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis (starlet sea anemone) provides a molecular genetic view into the first nervous systems, which appeared in a late common ancestor of cnidarians and bilaterians.Nematostella has a surprisingly large and diverse set of neuronal signaling genes including paralogs of most neuronal signaling molecules fo
