Mitochondrial Protein Synthesis During Embryonic Development of Cricket. (cricket embryo/mitochondria/protein synthesis/protease)

Embryonic development of the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus.

Extensive research into Drosophila melanogaster embryogenesis has improved our understanding of insect developmental mechanisms. However, Drosophila development is thought to be highly divergent from that of the ancestral insect and arthropod in many respects. We therefore need alternative models for arthopod development that are likely to be more representative of basally-branching clades. The...

Decoupling development and energy flow during embryonic diapause in the cricket, Allonemobius socius.

Respiration rate increases 6.3-fold during 15 days of post-oviposition development in embryos of the Southern ground cricket, Allonemobius socius. This ontogenetic increase in metabolism of non-diapause insects is blocked during diapause, such that metabolic rate is only 36% of the rate measured for 15 days developing embryos. Surprisingly, however, there is not an acute metabolic depression du...

Cricket interruptus: fairness and incentive in interrupted cricket matches∗

We present a new adjustment rule for interrupted cricket matches that equalizes the probability of winning before and after the interruption. Our proposal differs from existing rules in the quantity preserved (the probability of winning), and also in the point at which it is measured (the time of interruption). We claim this is both fair and free of incentive effects. We give several examples o...

Automated Classification of Cricket Pitch Frames in Cricket Video

The automated detection of the cricket pitch in a video recording of a cricket match is a fundamental step in content-based indexing and summarization of cricket videos. In this paper, we propose visualcontent based algorithms to automate the extraction of video frames with the cricket pitch in focus. As a preprocessing step, we first select a subset of frames with a view of the cricket field, ...
