A FOSSIL CATERPILLAR.

Caterpillar compaction

Caterpillar compaction NA compaction, say Ryan Case, YunPei Chang, Nicholas Cozzarelli, Carlos Bustamante, and colleagues (University of California, Berkeley, CA), may work via a cooperative caterpillar-like mechanism. The caterpillar is formed by multiple copies of condensin protein—in this case MukBEF—with each V-shaped condensin contributing two legs. Compaction occurs when the caterpillar’s...

Caterpillar salivary enzymes: "eliciting" a response

Plants exhibit remarkable plasticity in their ability to differentiate between herbivorous insect species and subtly adjust their defense responses to target distinct pests. One key mechanism used by plants to recognize herbivorous caterpillars is elicitors present in their oral secretions; however, these elicitors not only cause the induction of plant defenses but recent evidence suggests that...

Caterpillar Tolerance Representations

Various families of tolerance graphs of subtrees for specific families of host trees and tolerance functions have been successfully characterized. For example, chordal graphs are intersection (tolerance 1) graphs of subtrees of general trees, see [2], [5], and [8]. Intersection graphs of subtrees of a path are those that are chordal and do not contain an asteroidal triple, see [7]. We denote by...

SSA-Caterpillar in Group Anonymity

Nowadays, it is a common practice to protect various types of statistical data before publishing them for different researches. For instance, when conducting extensive demographic surveys such as national census, the collected data should be at least depersonalized to guarantee proper level of privacy preservation. In practice, even more complicated methods of data protection need to be used. A...
