Identification of novel cis-regulatory elements of Eya1 in Xenopus laevis using BAC recombineering
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-11-03)
The multifunctional Eya1 protein plays important roles during the development of cranial sensory organs and ganglia, kidneys, hypaxial muscles and several other organs in vertebrates. Eya1 is encoded by a complex locus ...
Influence of stormflow and baseflow phosphorus pressures on stream ecology in agricultural catchments
(Elsevier, 2017-03-09)
Stormflow and baseflow phosphorus (P) concentrations and loads in rivers may exert different ecological pressures during different seasons. These pressures and subsequent impacts are important to disentangle in order to ...
Bioreactor scalability: laboratory-scale bioreactor design influences performance, ecology, and community physiology in expanded granular sludge bed bioreactors
(Frontiers Media, 2017)
Studies investigating the feasibility of new, or improved, biotechnologies, such as wastewater treatment digesters, inevitably start with laboratory-scale trials. However, it is rarely determined whether laboratory-scale ...
Determination of survival of wildtype and mutant Escherichia coli in soil
(Bio-protocol, 2017-07-20)
E. coli resides in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and other warm-blooded animals but recent studies have shown that E. coli can persist and grow in various external environments including soil. The general stress ...
Generation of rationally-designed nerve growth factor (NGF) variants with receptor specificity
(Elsevier, 2017-11-03)
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is the prototypic member of the neurotrophin family and binds two receptors, TrkA and the 75 kDa neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR), through which diverse and sometimes opposing effects are mediated. ...
Quantitative geometric description of fracture systems in an andesite lava flow using terrestrial laser scanner data
(Elsevier, 2017-06-03)
Permeability hosted in andesitic lava flows is dominantly controlled by fracture systems, with geometries that are often poorly constrained. This paper explores the fracture system geometry of an andesitic lava flow formed ...
Tectonic structure and permeability in the Taupô Rift: new insights from analysis of LiDAR derived dems
(New Zealand Geothermal Workshop, 2017-11-22)
The location of permeable zones, and preliminary
quantification of a geothermal well’s production or injection
capacity are routinely interpreted from well pressure,
temperature, and flow measurements made at ...
Discussion between a reservoir engineer and a geologist: permeability identification from completion test data and borehole image logs integration
(39th New Zealand Geothermal Workshop, 2017-11-22)
The location of permeable zones, and preliminary quantification of a geothermal well’s production or injection capacity are routinely interpreted from well pressure, temperature, and flow measurements made at different ...
Rapid screening for specific glycosylation and pathogen interactions on a 78 species avian egg white glycoprotein microarray
(Nature Research, 2017-07-25)
There is an urgent need for discovery of novel antimicrobials and carbohydrate-based anti-adhesive strategies are desirable as they may not promote resistance. Discovery of novel anti-adhesive molecules from natural product ...
Antibacterial potential of an antimicrobial agent inspired by peroxidase-catalyzed systems
(Frontiers Media, 2017-05-02)
Antibiotic resistance is an increasingly serious threat to global health. Consequently, the development of non-antibiotic based therapies and disinfectants, which avoid induction of resistance, or cross-resistance, is of ...
