Mass rearing of anopheles stephensi on human blood by artificial feeding under laboratory conditions
Introduction: In order to control the diseases that are transmitted to human and animal by arthropod vectors, it is necessary to investigate vectors and to recognize control methods as well. These studies are applicable by rearing the colonies of arthropod blood-feeders like malaria and leishmaniasis in laboratory. The purpose of this study was to produce mass production of Anopheles stephens...
متن کاملLaboratory simulation of Martian atmospheric chemistry
Measurements of the yield of important trace gas species such as ozone, evolved during photolytic reactions have been made under Martian environmental conditions in one of the The Open University’s Mars simulation chambers. The simulation chamber can mimic Martian temperatures and pressures and a UV solar simulator can be added to irradiate a Marslike gas mixture within the chamber to drive che...
متن کاملBiochemical constraints for survival under Martian conditions.
A wide variety of terrestrial organisms, the so-called "anhydrobiotes," has learned to survive in a state of extreme dehydration in dry environments. Strategies for survival include the accumulation of certain polyols and nonreducing saccharides, which help to prevent damage to membranes and proteins, but at low water partial pressure DNA is also progressively damaged by various lesions, inclu...
متن کاملMartian South Polar Deformation and Sublimation Processes
Introduction: The first glacial deformations of an extraterrestrial ice sheet have been discovered and documented at the Martian south polar cap in Mars Orbital Camera (MOC) images [1-4]. Within the south polar cap various structural deformational features have been found, including boudinage, folds, and faults [1-2] (Fig. 1). These features are also found in terrestrial glaciers [5-7]. Mars pr...
متن کاملOrganic degradation under simulated Martian conditions.
We report on laboratory experiments which simulate the breakdown of organic compounds under Martian surface conditions. Chambers containing Mars-analog soil mixed with the amino acid glycine were evacuated and filled to 100 mbar pressure with a Martian atmosphere gas mixture and then irradiated with a broad spectrum Xe lamp. Headspace gases were periodically withdrawn and analyzed via gas chrom...
