Habitat change and the scale of predation risk
(2004)
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 ...
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 ...
Detection of Campylobacter jejuni in poultry samples using Florescent in situ Hybridization (FISH)
(2004)
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. ...
Effect of carbon-starvation on the survival of and PNP degradation by a Moraxella strain
(2004)
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 ...
Limnology and remediation of two proximal pit lakes in Northwestern Ontario
(2005)
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 ...
Characterization of Campylobacter jejuni growing in biofilms under different conditions
(2005)
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, ...
Mitochondrial DNA analysis of ancient hair shafts from the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt : challenges and recommendations
(2005)
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 ...
Effects of flavopiridol on Cdk2 activity in cultured cell lines
(2005)
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 ...
Development and evaluation of inductive and deductive models of elk (Cervus elaphus) summer resource suitability in Northwestern Ontario
(2006)
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 ...
Effect of rpoS inactivation on biofilm formation of a p-nitrophenol degrading Pseudomonas putida strain
(2005)
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 ...
