In their efforts to maximise fitness while reducing the probability of dying, animals must trade off food for safety. The trade-off is likely to depend on habitat and habitat change. I imagine an environment with both safe ...

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 ...

In this study, a protocol using Fluorescent in situ Hybridization (FISH) for the detection of Campylobacter spp., particularly C. jejuni, in naturally contaminated poultry samples was developed and its application evaluated. ...

The effect of carbon-starvation on the stress resistance responses of a p-nitrophenol degrading Moraxella strain was examined in both, buffer and river water samples. The Moraxella strain showed optimal stress resistance ...

Two adjacent pit lakes, Caland and Hogarth, were formed after the closure and subsequent flooding of the Steep Rock Iron Mines near Atikokan, Ontario, Canada. They were examined to predict flooding patterns, outflow ...

The viability of C. jejuni biofilms growing in different conditions was investigated by conventional plate counts and microscopy after nucleic acid staining. Differences were detected for each condition tested. However, ...

To date, there have been no previous reports in the literature on DNA extraction or analysis of ancient human hair. The hair shaft has an extraordinarily stable structure that enables it to remain unchanged for centuries ...

Flavopiradol reduced cyclin-dependent kinase activity by competititve inhibition with ATP by binding to the ATP-binding pocket of these cell cycle regulators ... it was thought that flavopiradol would be an excllent inhibitor ...

Resource-selection modelling techniques take either a deductive or inductive approach. Deductive methods take a “bottom-up” approach, where individual wildlife-resource relationships are the building blocks that define ...

With the widespread existence of environmental pollutants in the modern world, effective, non-destructive means of remediation are becoming more and more desirable as an alternative to the traditional excavation and ...
