(Elsevier BV, 2017-08-01) -
Bioaccumulation of metals in ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) following the application of lime stabilised, thermally dried and anaerobically digested sewage sludge.
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2016-05-09)The uptake and accumulation of metals in plants is a potential pathway for the transfer of environmental contaminants in the food chain, and poses potential health and environmental risks. In light of increased population ... -
Bioactive compounds in seaweed: functional food applications and legislation
(Springer Nature, 2011-02-09)Seaweed is more than the wrap that keeps rice together in sushi. Seaweed biomass is already used for a wide range of other products in food, including stabilising agents. Biorefineries with seaweed as feedstock are attracting ... -
Bioactive potential of natural biomaterials: identification, retention and assessment of biological properties
(Springer Nature, 2021-03-19)Biomaterials have had an increasingly important role in recent decades, in biomedical device design and the development of tissue engineering solutions for cell delivery, drug delivery, device integration, tissue replacement, ... -
Bioaffinity chromatography: theoretical aspects and complicating factors
(Portland Press Ltd., 1974-12-01) -
Bioassay models with natural mortality and random effects
(2011)In fitting dose-response models to entomological data it is often necessary to take account of natural mortality and/or overdispersion. The standard approach to handle natural mortality is to use Abbott¿s formula. Standard ... -
Bioassays with natural mortality: handling overdispersion using random effects
(2011)In fitting dose-response models to entomological data it is often necessary to take account of natural mortality and/or overdispersion. The standard approach to handle natural mortality is to use Abbott's formula (Abbott, ... -
Bioaugmentation mitigates the impact of estrogen on coliform-grazing protozoa in slow sand filters
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016-03-15)Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as estrogens, is a growing issue for human and animal health as they have been shown to cause reproductive and developmental abnormalities in wildlife and plants and ... -
Bioaugmentation of uasb reactors with immobilized sulfurospirillum barnesii for simultaneous selenate and nitrate removal
(Springer Nature, 2009-03-21)Whole-cell immobilization of selenate-respiring Sulfurospirillum barnesii in polyacrylamide gels was investigated to allow the treatment of selenate contaminated (790 A mu g Se x L(-1)) synthetic wastewater with a high ... -
Biocatalytic anode for glucose oxidation utilizing carbon nanotubes for direct electron transfer with glucose oxidase
(Elsevier BV, 2009-10-01)Covalently linked layers of glucose oxidase, single-wall carbon nanotubes and poly-L-lysine on pyrolytic graphite resulted in a stable biofuel cell anode featuring direct electron transfer from the enzyme. Catalytic response ... -
Biochemical and cellular characterisation of the Plasmodium falciparum M1 alanyl aminopeptidase (Pf M1AAP) and M17 leucyl aminopeptidase (Pf M17LAP)
(Nature Research, 2021-02-03)The Plasmodium falciparum M1 alanyl aminopeptidase and M17 leucyl aminopeptidase, PfM1AAP and PfM17LAP, are potential targets for novel anti-malarial drug development. Inhibitors of these aminopeptidases have been shown ... -
Biochemical and functional characterization of human MSL2
(2013-04-10)DNA in Eukaryotic cells is complexed with histone proteins to form chromatin. This mediates DNA packaging into the nucleus but also facilitates the regulation of all DNA-templated processes, including transcription, ... -
Biochemical plasticity in seaweeds: assessment and optimisation of high value compounds
(2016-02-16)Macroalgae are important primary producers and habitat forming organisms of the marine coastal zone. In response to different environmental parameters, the chemical composition of macroalage can change as an acclimation ... -
