OBP4, OBP10, and OBP16 were only detected in the antennae. Out of the 16 OBP genes tested in RT-PCR and qPCR analyses, OBP8 was highly expressed in the nymphal palps. Two novel odorant-binding proteins (OBPs OBP15 and OBP16) and one novel OR ( OR142) were identified for the first time. Additionally, we obtained 114 and 11 putative odorant receptor (OR) gene segments from the antennal and palp transcriptomes, respectively. Only a few odorants, such as (E,E)-2,4-hexadienal and (E,E)-2,4-heptadienal, elicited stronger electrophysiological responses of both maxillary and labial palps in comparison to the antennae. Our electrophysiological experiments with Locusta migratoria showed that the responses of mouthpart palps and antennae to odorants are quite different. To understand the differences of locust antennae and palps in olfaction, the electrophysiological response and olfactory gene expression of these two organs were conducted. ![]() However, very few are known about the differences of these two organs at molecular level. The main chemosensory organs of locusts consisted of the antennae and the mouthparts (maxillary and labial palps), which are suggested to perform different functions. ![]() Department of Entomology, China Agricultural University, Beijing, China.Hongwei Li †, Peng Wang †, Liwei Zhang, Xiao Xu, Zewen Cao and Long Zhang * ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Early on, when Laura confirms she hasn’t slept with Ian, Rob goes ahead and has sex with American singer-songwriter Marie LaSalle.

Two lines sum up Rob: “She’s right, of course. ![]() Perhaps, that’s why the 2020 Hulu series remake casts Zoë Kravitz as Rob. Its portrayal of masculinity and gender is troubling. Despite Hornby’s sharp writing, the unlikeability of Rob is so obstructive that any redeeming quality the novel has doesn’t matter. In this top-five list, Rob outlines his most memorable break-ups, making a pointed effort to let his latest ex-girlfriend Laura know she didn’t make the cut. It begins with what Rob and his employees/sort-of friends Barry and Dick love: a top-five list. High Fidelity, Hornby’s first novel, follows the mediocre life of record shop owner Rob Fleming in North London as he grapples with rejection in his love life. High Fidelity tries to say something profound about a man who self-sabotages and blames women for the fallout. Rob’s selfish behavior places him high on a list of fiction’s most insufferable characters. The best part of Nick Hornby’s 1995 novel High Fidelity is the end - when the whiny narrator and protagonist Rob Fleming finally shuts up. ![]() ![]() ![]() What would happen if Harry Potter grew up and joined the Fuzz. ![]() ![]() Rivers of London manages to be fresh and original and a wonderful read.

Then one night, in pursuance of a murder inquiry, I tried to take a witness statement from someone who was dead but disturbingly voluble, and that brought me to the attention of Inspector Nightingale, the last wizard in England. My only concerns in life were how to avoid a transfer to the Case Progression Unit - we do paperwork so real coppers don't have to - and finding a way to climb into the panties of the outrageously perky WPC Leslie May. My name is Peter Grant and until January I was just probationary constable in that mighty army for justice known to all right-thinking people as the Metropolitan Police Service (and as the Filth to everybody else). ![]() ![]() ![]() A book like this would likely have drastically improved my life if I’d had it as a kid.

The group, which had gathered to protest the agency’s slow approval process for new HIV/AIDS treatments, exhorted: ‘Drug into bodies!’ At the time, the recycled cancer-fighting drug AZT – which had serious side effects and was egregiously expensive – was the only FDA-approved treatment available in the US.
