Deposit-feeding sea cucumbers enhance mineralization and nutrient cycling in organically-enriched coastal sediments
(PLoS, 2012)Bioturbators affect multiple biogeochemical interactions and have been suggested as suitable candidates to mitigate organic matter loading in marine sediments. However, predicting the effects of bioturbators at an ecosystem ... -
Deposition of terrigenous sediment on subtidal marine macirobenthos: response of two contrasting community types
(Inter-Research, 2006)Changes in patterns of land-use associated with human population growth throughout the world have altered the regime of terrigenous material export from catchments to rivers and, subsequently, to estuarine and marine ... -
Development and validation of antibody screening cells specifically designed for Asian populations - the first example of the addition of peptide antigens to human red cells using KODE technology
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)Background: Alloantibodies to antigens displayed on variant glycophorins are common in many Asian populations and have been shown to cause both transfusion reactions and haemolytic disease of the foetus and newborn new ... -
Development of a Probiotic Beverage Using Breadfruit Flour As a Substrate
(MDPI, 2019)A fermented beverage was developed using breadfruit flour as a substrate by optimising sucrose, inoculum concentrations, and fermentation temperature in the formulation by utilising the D-optimal mixture design. The ... -
Differential Expression of Novel Metabolic and Immunological Biomarkers in Oysters Challenged With a Virulent Strain of OsHV-1
(Elsevier, 2017)Early lifestages of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) are highly susceptible to infection by OsHV-1 μVar, but little information exists regarding metabolic or pathophysiological responses of larval hosts. Using a ... -
Do pore water solutes affect juvenile bivalve burial behaviour?
(AUT University, 2011)Climate change models predict an increase in the frequency of extreme rainfall and thus the supply of terrigenous sediments to coastal waters. Understanding how this supply affects coastal ecosystems has become important ... -
Dual Analysis of Virus-host Interactions: The Case of Ostreid Herpesvirus 1 and the Cupped Oyster Crassostrea Gigas
(Libertas Academica, 2019)Dual analyses of the interactions between Ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) and the bivalve Crassostrea gigas during infection can unveil events critical to the onset and progression of this viral disease and can provide novel ... -
Effect of High Hydrostatic Pressure Processing on the Chemical Characteristics of Different Lamb Cuts
(MDPI AG, 2020)The non-thermal high-pressure processing (HPP) technique has been used to increase the shelf life of food without compromising their nutritional and sensory qualities. This study aims to explore the potential application ... -
Effect of Mouth Rinsing and Ingestion of Carbohydrate Solutions on Mood and Perceptual Responses During Exercise
(BioMed Central, 2017)Background: The aim of this study was to investigate whether mouth rinsing or ingesting carbohydrate (CHO) solutions impact on perceptual responses during exercise. Methods: Nine moderately trained male cyclists underwent ... -
Effect of Neuroactive Compounds on Larval Metamorphosis of New Zealand Geoduck (Panopea Zelandica)
(John Wiley & Sons, 2016)We present here the first laboratory study on the effects of pharmacologically active compounds on the larval metamorphosis of the New Zealand geoduck, Panopea zelandica (Quoy and Gaimard, 1835). Two batches of competent ... -
Effect of Neuroactive Compounds on the Settlement of Mussel (Perna Canaliculus) Larvae
(Elsevier, 2011)Herein, we present the first laboratory study on the effects of pharmacologically active compounds on larval settlement of the green-lipped mussel, Perna canaliculus. Competent hatchery-reared larvae were exposed to ... -
Effect of Nitrogen Sources on Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Biosynthesis and Gene Expression in Thraustochytriidae sp.
The molecular mechanism that contributes to nitrogen source dependent omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) synthesis in marine oleaginous protists Thraustochytriidae sp., was explored in this study. The fatty acid ... -
The Effect of Prime Emulsion Components As a Function of Equilibrium Headspace Concentration of Soursop Flavor Compounds
(SpringerOpen, 2014)Background: Perceptions of food products start when flavor compounds are released from foods, transported and appropriate senses in the oral and nose are triggered. However, the long-term stability of flavor compounds in ... -
Effect of Pulsed Electric Fields on the Flavour Profile of Red-fleshed Sweet Cherries (Prunus avium var. Stella)
(MDPI, 2015)The aim of this research was to study the effect of pulsed electric fields (PEF) on the flavour profile of red-fleshed sweet cherries (Prunus avium variety Stella). The cherry samples were treated at a constant pulse ... -
Effect of the brittle star Amphiura filiformis (Amphiuridae, Echinodermata) on oxygen flux into the sediment
(American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) - Blue Policies in RoMEO, 2003)O-2 plays a key role in early sedimentary diagenetic processes, but the effect of most macrofaunal species on the pathways and rates of supply of O-2 into the seabed are not well known. We investigated the effect of the ... -
Effects of CO₂ Enrichment on Benthic Primary Production and Inorganic Nitrogen Fluxes in Two Coastal Sediments
(Nature, 2018)Ocean acidification may alter the cycling of nitrogen in coastal sediment and so the sediment-seawater nitrogen flux, an important driver of pelagic productivity. To investigate how this perturbation affects the fluxes of ... -
Effects of spatangoid heart urchins on O-2 supply into coastal sediment
(Inter-Research, 2007)Spatangoid heart urchins are key bioturbators in the marine environment. They pump seawater from the sediment surface around their tests and, at the same time, constantly displace the surrounding sediment. To improve our ... -
Effects of Whale-based Tourism in Vava'u, Kingdom of Tonga: Behavioural Responses of Humpback Whales to Vessel and Swimming Tourism Activities
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2019)Vava'u, Kingdom of Tonga, is a well-established whale-watching destination in the South Pacific. Between July and October, the waters around the archipelago represent one of the most important breeding grounds for Oceania ... -
Environmental Sounds Influence the Multisensory Perception of Chocolate Gelati
(MDPI, 2019)Recently, it has been shown that various auditory stimuli modulate flavour perception. The present study attempts to understand the effects of environmental sounds (park, food court, fast food restaurant, cafe, and bar ...
