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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 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 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 ... -
Evaluation of the Digestibility of Korean Hanwoo Beef Cuts Using the in Vitro Physicochemical Upper Gastrointestinal System
(Korean Society for Food Science of Animal Resources, 2017)The aim of this study was to investigate the digestibility of different Korean Hanwoo beef cuts using an in vitro digestion model, in vitro physicochemical upper gastrointestinal system (IPUGS). The four most commonly ... -
Faunal composition within algal mats and adjacent habitats in Likuri, Fiji Islands
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom/Cambridge University Press, 2009)The faunal composition within three mono-specific algal habitats was investigated at Likuri Island, southern Viti Levu, Fiji Islands. Gracilaria maramae was the dominant alga within algal drift mat, seagrass bed, and rocky ... -
Flow cytometric evaluation of red blood cells transformed with variable amounts of synthetic A and B glycolipids
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)Background: According to national guidelines or directives, monoclonal ABO reagents may be required to detect Ax and B weak subgroup red blood cells (RBCs). Many routine laboratories do not have access to naturallyoccurring ABO ... -
Flow microenvironment of two marine peritrich ciliates with ectobiotic chemoautotrophic bacteria
(Inter-Research, 2002)The flow microenvironment of 2 marine peritrich ciliates, Vorticella sp. and Zoothamnium niveum, with ectobiotic sulfur bacteria was studied with frame-by-frame analyses of video sequences and a microsensor for fluid ... -
Fluorophore-kodecytes - fluorescent function-spacer-lipid (FSL) modified cells for in vitro and in vivo analyses
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2010)Most live cells are naturally poorly visible and so various secondary techniques, such as staining (including fluorescent tagging), are used to visualize them. However, a major limitation of most staining techniques is ... -
FSL constructs: a simple method for modifying cell/virion surfaces with a range of biological markers without affecting their viability
(Journal of Visualized Experiment, 2011)The ability to modify/visualize biological surfaces, and then study the modified cell/virion in a range of in vitro and in vivo environments is essential to gaining further insight into the function of specific molecules ... -
FSL-A+B(tri) Serologic teaching kit
(AUT University, 2011)Many teaching/training laboratories do not have access to a source of specimens that will give a full range of serologic reaction grades, or those representative of ABO weak subgroups. As a consequence many laboratory staff ... -
