Marine biofouling: a sticky problem.
Organisms that colonise underwater surfaces, such as barnacle larvae and spores of algae, use a diverse array of biological 'glues' to provide both temporary and more permanent adhesion. The practical consequence of colonisation by these organisms is biofouling - something that has plagued mariners for years - causing increased drag and, in extreme cases, corrosion. Might there be a biological ...
متن کاملMalaria in pregnancy: getting to grips with a sticky problem.
In malaria-endemic areas, by young adulthood people have developed functional immunity to malaria. However, during pregnancy this immunity is breached and infection occurs, leading to increased risks for mother and child. In the past this effect has been attributed to nonspecific immunosuppression, but recent research has revealed a specific pathogenic mechanism, involving the adherence of rare...

متن کاملDry solution to a sticky problem
Sticking plasters revolutionized the protection of minor wounds, but they’re not ideal for fragile skin. A material that mimics the adhesive properties of certain beetles’ feet might provide a solution. Adhesives that stick to skin for long periods of time, or over multiple cycles of use, are vital for medical applications. Such materials have to conform to stringent standards — for example, th...
متن کاملOptimal Monetary Policy under Sticky Prices and Sticky Information∗
A wrong model can lead to a wrong conclusion. The failure to capture inflation dynamics has made the standard New Keynesian framework of monetary policy analysis prone to such a critique. In this paper, we investigate optimal monetary policy using a model that can capture the observed inflation persistence. The model, which we call the dual stickiness model, integrates sticky prices and sticky ...
