Mao Dun’s (茅盾) 1932 short story “Spring Silkworms” (春蚕), the first of a three-part series known as Village Trilogy, is widely regarded one author’s most representative works. Given leftist politics and commitment to critical realism, has generated debate over its depiction Chinese peasantry extent which it condemns tradition in support revolutionary progress. This article contends that key ambi...

Silkworms are one type of live food that has begun to be intensified in their cultivation activities Indonesia. This study aimed determine the effect feeding/dried substrate different doses on growth performance silkworms. The second aim was appropriate dose dry for silkworm cultivation. used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments media at 114 g/m2 (D10), 228 (D20), and 324 (D30...

Abstract In many foreign countries where cocooning is developed, new effective scientific-based innovative technologies are being developed for the cultivation of high-quality cocoon raw materials, their preliminary processing and increase productivity. It pivotal to obtain high quality, thin strong silk fiber from cultivated cocoons. This research was aimed at researching differential incubati...

Since 2000, transgenic silkworms have been developed to produce recombinant proteins with therapeutic potential for future clinical use, including antibody preparations. Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are inherited metabolic disorders caused by mutations of lysosomal enzymes associated with excessive accumulation of natural substrates and neurovisceral symptoms. Over the past few years, enzy...

It was found in our previous study that feeding silkworms with MoO2 nanoparticles (NPs) as a food additive enabled the incorporation of NPs into as-spun silk, which, turn, can be used to build electrodes for energy storage. However, aggregation observed at high fractional dosages. In order disperse fibrous silk and enhance specific capacitance carbonized more effectively, 0.5% (w/v) hydroxyprop...
