Cubomedusae belong to the class Cubuzoa, not Scyphozoa

Do Moonlighting Proteins Belong to the Intrinsically Disordered Protein Class?

Moonlighting proteins refer to those proteins presenting two or more functions performed by a single polypeptide chain. They were initially reported by Wistow and Piatigorsky in the late 1980s when lens crystallins turned out to be previously known metabolic enzymes [1,2]. Moonlighting proteins present alternative functions which are mostly related to cellular localization, cell type, oligomeri...

Two Binary Liquid Critical Mixtures Belong to Class of Universality

The dynamic shear viscosity of a binary liquid mixture phenol–water has been measured at different temperatures (50.0°C ≤ T ≤ 75.0°C) and different concentrations (0.00% up to 100.00% by weight of phenol). The critical temperature Tc and critical concentration xc are found to be 67.0°C and 33.90% by weight of phenol respectively, the critical mass density ρc is measured to be 0.8952 g/cm 3. The...

To belong or not to belong, that is the question: terror management and identification with gender and ethnicity.

The terror management prediction that reminders of death motivate in-group identification assumes people view their identifications positively. However, when the in-group is framed negatively, mortality salience should lead to disidentification. Study 1 found that mortality salience increased women's perceived similarity to other women except under gender-based stereotype threat. In Study 2, mo...

Swim pacemakers in cubomedusae

provision for integrative sensing of environmental information so that appropriate reactions can follow. In most metazoans, specialized sensory systems make specific connections within integrative centers which, in turn, pass on sorted information to appropriate effectors. However, in the generalized cnidarian, integrative centers are considered to be poorly developed (in a comparative sense). ...
