Electrostatics facilitate mid-air host attachment in parasitic jumping nematodes

|
By Ranjiangshang Ran, Justin Burton, Victor M. Ortega-Jimenez
| BioRxiv
Abstract Jumping can be hazardous for entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) as those that fail to attach to an insect host face death by predation or starvation. Recently, it has been shown that electrostatic charges on large insects can prompt a close-range detachment of free-living nematodes, which are non-parasitic and unable to jump. However, it remains unclear if static electricity can influence aerial interactions between parasitic jumping worms and their insect hosts.

No Access Physics of Fluids 34, 087115 (2022); https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0098273 In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, many live musical activities had to be postponed and even canceled to protect musicians and the audience. Orchestral ensembles face a particular challenge of contamination, because they are personally heavy and instrumentally diverse. A chief concern is whether wind instruments are vectors of contamination through aerosol dispersion.

Three-dimensional structures and symmetry breaking in viscoelastic cross-channel flow

Three-dimensional structures and symmetry breaking in viscoelastic cross-channel flow† Using holographic particle tracking, we report the three-dimensional flow structure organizing the viscoelastic instability in cross-channel flow. Beyond a critical Wi, the advective core flow undergoes an out-of-plane instability marked by the emergence of tertiary flow, resembling that of the toroidal vortices in Taylor–Couette geometry.
