Climate warming is expected to shift the distributions of mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases, promoting expansions at cool range edges and contractions at warm range edges. However, whether mosquito populations could maintain their warm edges through evolutionary adaptation remains unknown. Here, we investigate the potential for thermal adaptation in , a congener of the major disease vector species that experiences large thermal gradients in its native range, by assaying tolerance to prolonged and acute heat exposure, and its genetic basis in a diverse, field-derived population.

Blending poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) with other polymers could be a rapid and accessible solution to overcome some of its drawbacks. In this work, PHB was modified with microfibrillated cellulose (MC) and a thermoplastic polyurethane containing biodegradable segments (PU) by two routes, using a masterbatch and by direct mixing. The PU and MC modifiers improved the thermal stability of PHB by up to 13 °C and slightly decreased its melt viscosity and crystallinity, thus improving the melt processability.

Myocardial cells and the extracellular matrix achieve their functions through the availability of energy. In fact, the mechanical and electrical properties of the heart are heavily dependent on the balance between energy production and consumption. The energy produced is utilized in various forms, including kinetic, dynamic, and thermal energy.

We systematically investigate the magnetization and thermodynamic responses associated with antiferromagnetic (AFM) transitions in single crystals of the magnetic semiconductor Eu3InAs3. The linear thermal expansion measurements around the AFM transition temperatures, TN1 and TN2, indicate an expansion along the a axis and contraction along the b and c axes. The calculated ∆V/V(T) shows a continuous change at TN, indicating a second-order magnetic phase transition.
