Investigation of microbial community structure and function underpinning grass and food waste anaerobic digestion
(2016-08-18)
Anaerobic digestion (AD) of feedstocks, such as grass and food waste, presents a sustainable and cost efficient technology for the generation of bioenergy and value added products. However, to fully optimize the process, ...

Developing marine management strategies against regional eutrophication in Caribbean small island nations with limited financial and logistical resources
(2016-09-01)
Coral reefs are threatened globally, with habitat degradation and associated resource losses of primary concern. In the Caribbean region these losses have been increasingly well documented over the last forty years, but ...
Identification of IRS4 and TOP2A as novel CDC7 kinase interacting proteins
(2016-02-08)
CDC7 is an essential serine/threonine kinase required for the initiation of DNA
replication in eukaryotic cells, through phosphorylating the MCM helicase complex.
Formation of an active kinase requires the binding to ...
Parabolic and equal-rank subroot systems with applications to symmetric spaces and flag manifolds
(2016-06-20)
Using the algebraic structure of subroot systems in the root system of a complex simple Lie algebra g, we prove a generalization for compact homogeneous spaces with positive Euler characteristic of the 'strange formula' ...
Protein interactions in physiological environments
(2016-06-03)
The interactions of three proteins (ΔTat-GB1, cytochrome c and flavodoxin) were explored in Escherichia coli cells and extracts. The results indicate features of the physicochemical basis for protein assembly in the complex ...
Generation of recombinant anti-N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) scFv and its applications for detection and quantitation of Neu5Gc
(2016-05-12)
Sialic acids are a family of 9 carbon α-keto acid monosaccharides. Owing to their terminal position on glycans, sialic acids are involved in cell adhesion and recognition events, host pathogen interactions, immune regulation ...
Maths mission: a case study of gesture-based technology in the mathematics classroom
(2016-05-04)
Technology offers a new dimension to engaging students in the classroom. However, the complexities in an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) mediated environment can also bring challenges to the classroom (Chandra ...
