Effects of elevated carbon dioxide concentration and light on biomass morphology and physiology of black spruce and white spruce seedlings
(2008)
Carbon dioxide concentration and light interactions influence competition among boreal tree species, though little is known about the exact effects. The interactive effects of [CO 2 ] and light on growth, biomass production, ...
Radiation response in cells derived from individuals with hereditary breast cancer / by Lindsay Sutherland.
(2008)
Inherited germline mutations in the tumour suppressor gene BRCA1 (BReast CAncer susceptibility gene 1) can lead to an increased risk for various cancers. Evidence now suggests that epigenetic changes resulting in reduced ...
Method optimization and gene expression analysis for interferon Kappa mRNA in HPV-associated cervical disease / by Correne A. Decarlo.
(2008)
Interferons (IFNs) are a common biological treatment option for many cancers as well as for human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated diseases, but current IFN treatments have not been optimized as disease progression subsists ...
Modulation of Listeria monocytogenes biofilms by Pseudomonas spp. secreted substances / by Lauren Davey.
(2008)
Listeria monocytogenes, a food-borne pathogen associated with severe disease, forms resistant biofilms which enable it to persist in food processing environments. Recently, surface active compounds and other microbially ...
Pulp and paper mill bacteria as a potential source of novel encapsulation materials / by Peter R. Godin.
(2008)
"A total of 194 bacteria were isolated from pulp and paper biofilms from a mill in Thunder Bay, Canada. Diversity of the 194 bacteria indicated that the amounts of bacteria found in these biofilms may be influenced by ...
Interaction of Pseudomonas putida and Listeria monocytogenes in mixed culture biofilms / by Greg Kepka.
(2008)
"Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen that causes problems in many food processing plants because it produces biofilms and thus is difficult to control by regular cleaning and sanitizing procedures. It has been ...
Study of host pathogen interactions using a model of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection of lung epithelial cells / by Rebecca Barnes.
(2008)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pulmonary pathogen that can cause acute, life-threatening pneumonia in immunocompromised individuals, it is a common cause of high-mortality ventilator associated pneumonia, and ...
Towards the optimisation of a detection system for markers linked to neural tube defects
(2008)
Neural tube defects are the second most common birth defect of the central
nervous system. The aim of this research is to design and optimise a novel detection
system to analyse five markers that have been shown to be ...
Winter-summer comparison of psychological factors in seasonal mood changes / by Robert P. Dew.
(2008)
"Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is characterized by the regular onset and remission of depressive episodes during the fall/winter months and remission during the summer. The present study compared psychological differences ...
