The antioxidant resveratrol down-regulates inflammation in an in vitro model of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection of lung epithelial cells
(2014-01-22)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen capable of infecting the lungs and causing severe pulmonary disease in immunocompromised individuals. During the infectious process, P. aeruginosa provokes ...
Salmonid thermal habitats in Lake Superior tributaries
(2020)
For some potamodromous salmonid species, such as the Brook Trout, streams are a critical
spawning habitat but also habitat for juveniles and stream residents to grow. Salmonids are coldwater fishes and cooler stream water ...
Germination in pea seeds : proteolytic enzyme activity and electron microscopy
(1989)
This study was undertaken with two primary objectives in mind. The first objective was to isolate several pea seed hydrolases present during early seed germination. The second objective was to perform an ultrastructural ...
Life on the edge : the role of habitat selection on vole density near forest boundaries
(1997)
Theories of density-dependent habitat selection predict pronounced gradients of
population density near habitat edges. Population density in high-quality habitats
should decline toward edges with lower-quality habitats, ...
Density, depth distribution and richness of emerging insects (Diptera: Chironomidae) before and after experimental watershed deforestation
(1999)
The primary objective o f this study was to document changes in Chironomidae
density, depth distribution, and taxon richness, associated with experimental upland and
riparian deforestation of L42, a small boreal forest ...
Northern wild rice (Zizania palustris L.) as a phytoremediation species in eutrophic wetlands - investigation of root-sediment interactions
(2014-01-22)
The causes of anthropogenic eutrophication in water bodies are multi-faceted and multigenerational, presenting an ever increasing need for effective and sustainable solutions.Phytoremediation presents a cost-effective ...
Nature and structure of DNA through the process of degradation
(2004)
The identification and characterisation of DNA damage is of great importance to
molecular research and has significant implications for clinical and forensic fields. From the
moment of cell death, DNA incurs many forms ...
Increased production of cellulosic sugars from lignocellulosic materials
(2018)
Renewable energy is energy that is regenerated naturally for infinite time. Renewable energy can
be categorized into solar, hydro, wind, geothermal, and biomass. Biomass is an organic material
such as agricultural, forest ...
Black Spruce (Picea mariana) Regeneration in Post-fire Cryptogamic Mats
(2016)
Post-fire black spruce (Picea mariana Mill.) regeneration has received
considerable attention in management of the boreal forest of eastern Canada. Seedbed
quality is a key factor for seed germination and early seedling ...
