Optical side-scattering by particulate matter in the Hahei Marine Reserve
(AUT University, 2011)Suspended particulate matter concentration (PM) is an important parameter in coastal ecosystem studies. For example, PM is used to determine when sediments and associated contaminants are resuspended and transported. Because ... -
Periodicity of benthic photosynthesis in Lake Fryxell, Antarctica
(AUT University, 2011)Filamentous forms of cyanobacteria, the earliest known oxygenic photosynthesising organisms, are the primary structuring agents in modern-day benthic microbial mat consortia. Under conditions of low sedimentation rates and ... -
Photosynthetic performance of benthic microbial mats in Lake Hoare, Antarctica
(American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO), 2006)We measured in situ photosynthesis of benthic microbial mats at various depths in Lake Hoare, a permanently ice-covered lake of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, using oxygen (02) microelectrodes. We further investigated ... -
Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of fermented sheepmeat sausage
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2014)The aim of the study was to compare the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of fermented, cured sausages made from equivalent muscle groups of beef, pork, and sheepmeat. The last has no commercial examples and ... -
Practical Fertilization Procedure and Embryonic Development of the New Zealand Geoduck Clam (Panopea Zelandica)
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom 2016, 2016)Copyright © Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom 2016Cultivation of the geoduck Panopea zelandica (Quoy & Gaimard, 1835) requires knowledge on embryonic development to produce spat in hatcheries. This study ... -
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
(AUT University, 2010) -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
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 ...
