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 ... -
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 ... -
Evolutionary Rates of Bumblebee Genomes Are Faster at Lower Elevations
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019)The importance of climate in determining biodiversity patterns has been well documented. However, the relationship between climate and rates of genetic evolution remains controversial. Latitude and elevation have been ... -
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 ... -
Fish Nearshore Habitat-Use Patterns As Ecological Indicators of Nursery Quality
(Elsevier BV, 2021)Anthropogenic factors have been identified as major stressors of nearshore environments such as estuaries, sea grass meadows and mangroves. We hypothesize that aquatic organisms functionally dependent on these habitats as ... -
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 ... -
