Predicting the distribution of acid volatile sulfide in marine sediment from colour analysis of sediment-profile images
(AUT University, 2011)Organic enrichment of coastal sediments is a major concern worldwide. It is caused by an increase in the deposition of organic matter via terrestrial runoff (Gray et al. 2002) and aquaculture (Holmer & Kristensen 1994), ... -
Predicting the in situ distribution of AVS from sediment profile images
(AUT University, 2011)The reduced sulfur content of coastal sediment is a proxy for the organic carbon deposition rate. As such, it is an important parameter in environmental monitoring. Some reduced sulfur occurs in the form of pore water ... -
Proposal for monitoring the Te Whanganui-a-Hei Marine Reserve

Pulsed boundary layer flow versus tide-driven deep pore-water flow--What drives sulfide vents in oceanic mangrove peat habitats?
(National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, 2009) -
Putative Involvement of Adrenergic Receptors in Regulation of Mussel (Perna Canaliculus) Larval Settlement
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2015)Abstract: Settlement responses were investigated for mussel (Perna canaliculus) larvae after exposure to catecholamines and their precursor metabolites. Settlement and mortality assays were conducted in Petri plates with ... -
Quality and Consumer Acceptability of In-bag Dry- and Wet Aged Lamb
(DigICoMST, 2018)INTRODUCTION Dry-aged meat is a niche product favoured by meat purveyors for mostly local upscale restaurants and gourmet markets. The distinct flavour of dry-aged meat commands a higher price in the marketplace, yet very ... -
Quantification of Carotenoids, α-tocopherol, and Ascorbic Acid in Amber, Mulligan, and Laird’s Large Cultivars of New Zealand Tamarillos (Solanum betaceum Cav.)
(MDPI AG, 2020)Amber (yellow), Laird’s Large (red) and Mulligan (purple–red) cultivars of New Zealand tamarillo fruit were separated into pulp (endo- and mesocarp) and peel (exocarp), and analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass ... -
Rapid biofunctionalization of magnetic beads with function-spacer-lipid constructs
(eBook - Sepmag.eu, 2014)KODE™ Technology is based on novel water-dispersible self-assembling molecules, called a functionspacer- lipids or KODE™ constructs (Figure 1) that are able to coat virtually any biological or non-biological surface with ... -
Regulatory Effects of Mussel (Aulacomya Maoriana Iredale 1915) Larval Settlement by Neuroactive Compounds, Amino Acids and Bacterial Biofilms
(Elsevier, 2011)Larval settlement responses of the ribbed mussel, Aulacomya maoriana Iredale 1915, were investigated after exposure to various chemicals and mono-species bacteria. Identification of settlement inductive compounds assists ... -
Retinal development and ommin pigment in the cranchiid squid Teuthowenia pellucida (Cephalopoda: Oegopsida)
(PLOS One, 2015)The cranchiid Teuthowenia pellucida, like many deep-sea squid species, possesses large eyes that maximise light sensitivity in a nearly aphotic environment. To assess ontogenetic changes in the visual system, we conducted ... -
Scaring Nemo ‐ Contrasting Effects of Observer Presence on Two Anemonefish Species
(Wiley, 2020)Behaviours of Clark's anemonefish Amphiprion clarkii and the dusky anemonefish Amphiprion melanopus were studied in Vanuatu. Six anemones and their resident fish were observed for typical behaviours (hiding, watching, ... -
Self-organising Maps to Study the Effects of Urbanisation at Long Bay in New Zealand
(Knowledge Engineering Lab, the University of Otago, 2001)Biologically inspired Artificial Neural Network (ANN) modelling methods provide a means of problem solving that incorporates heuristics with conventional algorithmic processing Over the last few decades, ... -
Showcasing Metabolomic Applications in Aquaculture: A Review
(John Wiley & Sons, 2016)Aquaculture production is currently challenged to meet the growing demands for seafood protein throughout the world. To achieve this growth in an efficient, safe and sustainable manner, novel tools and applications will ... -
SINOPSIS – the Solomon Islands National Ocean Planning Spatial Information System: Spatial Decision Support Tools for Seaweed Aquaculture Planning in the Solomon Islands
(New Zealand Institute for Pacific Research (NZIPR), 2019)Seaweed cultivation can provide important income in remote areas and significant exports for nations like the Solomon Islands. This industry may also provide a sustainable alternative to more extractive industries like ... -
Substrate‐induced Self‐assembly of Cooperative Catalysts
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018)Dissipative self-assembly processes in Nature rely on chemical fuels that activate proteins for assembly through the formation of a noncovalent complex. The catalytic activity of the assemblies causes fuel degradation, ... -
Subsurface Microbial Habitats in an Extreme Desert Mars-analog Environment
(Frontiers Media, 2019)Sediments in the hyper-arid core of the Atacama Desert are a terrestrial analog to Mars regolith. Understanding the distribution and drivers of microbial life in the sediment may give critical clues on how to search for ... -
Sulfide assimilation by ectosymbionts of the sessile ciliate, Zoothamnium niveum
(Springer, 2009)We investigated the constraints on sulfide uptake by bacterial ectosymbionts on the marine peritrich ciliate Zoothamnium niveum by a combination of experimental and numerical methods. Protists with symbionts were collected ... -
Syphilis-kodecytes - novel function-spacer-lipid (FSL) modified red cells capable of sensitive and specific detection of syphilis antibodies
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2010)The ability to detect infectious agents is a prerequisite to the treatment and containment of transmittable diseases. Many diagnostics assays are based upon the detection of antibodies in serum against the infectious agent ... -
Taxonomic and Functional Diversity of Soil and Hypolithic Microbial Communities in Miers Valley, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2016)The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica are an extreme polar desert. Mineral soils support subsurface microbial communities and translucent rocks support development of hypolithic communities on ventral surfaces in soil ... -
