Carbon Black: Science and Technology, Second Edition
Aciniform carbon is prevalent in chimney smoke, and engine exhausts. For
example, diesel soots are composed of aciniform carbon similar in size to carbon
blacks, but with a large (usually 10-80 wt%) extractable organic fraction rich in
PNA.
Jean-Baptiste Donnet, 1993

Spiderwebs and Silk : Tracing Evolution From Molecules to ...
Aciniform silk Spiders use aciniform silks to wrap prey and to decorate their webs
(see chapters 5 and 6). XRD data show that aciniform silk is less crystalline than
spider dragline silk, although its diffraction pattern shows that it contains b-sheet
...

PMS anterior surface: (0) without aciniform spigots, (Tetragnatha versicolor, Fig.
126D); (1) with aciniform spigots, (Cyclosa conica, Fig. 137A). The PMS anterior
surface is the area between the cylindrical gland spigot and the anterior base of ...

Spiderwebs and Silk: Tracing Evolution From Molecules to ...
The meridional reflection is, however, only observed for MA-silk which can be
explained by a higher volume fraction of crystalline poly(alanine) domains in the
fibrils. Acini form silk Spiders use aciniform silks to wrap prey and to decorate
their ...

Spider Behaviour: Flexibility and Versatility
Peters (1993) suggested that the content of the decoration silk-producing gland (
aciniform gland) may be one of the key factors influencing the tendency to build
decorations. The silk produced in the aciniform gland is also used to wrap prey ...

Molecular Assembly in Natural and Engineered Systems
Aciniform silk is used in prey-wrapping and it has also been identified in the egg
cases of some spiders acting as the internal soft layer.143 Aciniform silk consists
of a C-terminal, nonrepetitive domain and 14 repeats of a 200-aminoacid ...

Spiders--webs, Behavior, and Evolution
Either aggregate glands arose de novo or they are homologues of the aciniform
glands. Orb- weaving spiders usually have dozens or hundreds of aciniform
glands per spinneret (Kovoor 1972, 1977a), meaning that with respect to one
another ...

Structure to Function: Spider Silk and Human Collagen
1.1.2.4 Aciniform Silk Proteins Aciniform silks are used by araneoid orb-weavers,
including Nephila clavipes to wrap and immobilized prey, build sperm webs and
web decorations (Hu, 2006). Aciniform silk contains only one protein, which is ...

Spider Research in the 21st Century: Trends and Perspectives
For each of these seven categories of araneoid glands, there is substantial
variation in morphology and gland number: major ampullate glands are large
ampule-shaped glands that usually exist in a single pair, whereas aciniform
glands are ...
