Changes in Transfusion Science Over the Past 25 Years
(New Zealand Institute of Medical Laboratory Science, 2021)No abstract. -
Use of Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometry Fingerprinting to Determine the Metabolic Changes to Dry-aged Lean Beef Due to Different Ageing Regimes
(Elsevier BV, 2021)Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (REIMS) was used to determine the impact of in-bag ageing regimes (stepwise-ageing at different air velocities and straight-dry-ageing) and trimming on the metabolic profile ... -
Metabolic Fingerprinting of In-bag Dry- and Wet-aged Lamb With Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectroscopy
(Elsevier BV, 2021)The effect of in-bag dry- and wet-ageing on metabolite profiles of lamb legs was determined using Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (REIMS). Using orthogonal projection to latent structures-discriminant analysis ... -
COVID-19 Antibody Screening With SARS-CoV-2 Red Cell Kodecytes Using Routine Serologic Diagnostic Platforms
(Wiley, 2021)BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic is having a major global impact, and the resultant response in the development of new diagnostics is unprecedented. The detection of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 has a role in managing ... -
In-Bag Dry- vs. Wet-Aged Lamb: Quality, Consumer Acceptability, Oxidative Stability and In Vitro Digestibility
(2020)The aim of this study was to produce in-bag dry-aged lamb and compare its meat quality, consumer acceptability, oxidative stability and in vitro digestibility to the wet-aged equivalents. Significantly higher pH, weight ... -
Navigating Spaces Between Conservation Research and Practice: Are We Making Progress?
(Wiley, 2020)1. Despite aspirations for conservation impact, mismatches between research and implementation have limited progress towards this goal. There is, therefore, an urgent need to identify how we can more effectively navigate ... -
Nanoantioxidants: Recent Trends in Antioxidant Delivery Applications
(MDPI AG, 2020)Antioxidants interact with free radicals, terminating the adverse chain reactions and converting them to harmless products. Antioxidants thus minimize the oxidative stress and play a crucial role in the treatment of free ... -
Phenolic and Anthocyanin Compounds and Antioxidant Activity of Tamarillo (Solanum betaceum Cav.)
(MDPI AG, 2020)This study examined phenolics and anthocyanins present in Amber, Laird’s Large and Mulligan cultivars of tamarillo that were cultivated in -Whangarei, Northland of New Zealand. Samples were further separated by their tissue ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
Optimising the Spray Drying of Avocado Wastewater and Use of the Powder As a Food Preservative for Preventing Lipid Peroxidation
(MDPI AG, 2020)Avocado wastewater (AWW) is the largest by-product of cold pressed avocado oil. The aim of this study was to valorise AWW by converting it into spray dried powder for use as a lipid peroxidation inhibiting food preservative. ... -
Non-invasive Biomarkers for Early Detection of Breast Cancer
(MDPI, 2020)Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. Accurate early diagnosis of breast cancer is critical in the management of the disease. Although mammogram screening has been widely used for breast cancer ... -
Incidence in Plasma of Low Level Antibodies Against Three Xenotransplantation and Immunotherapeutic Glycan Antigens
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), 2020)Antibodies against xeno-glycan antigens terminating with the saccharides Galα, GalNAcα and Rhaα are ubiquitous in human blood. Although originating as barriers to infection some of these naturally occurring complement-activating ... -
Author Correction: Behaviour Reactions of Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops runcatus) to Multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
(Springer Nature, 2020)This Article contains an error. The following sentence in the Introduction, “In the absence of previously studies in the peer reviewed literature dedicated to the UAV disturbance assessment, this study is the first to ... -
Hydraulic Coupling of a Leafless Kauri Tree Remnant to Conspecific Hosts
(Elsevier BV, 2019)SUMMARY Trees are commonly regarded as distinct entities, but the roots of many species fuse to form natural root grafts allowing the exchange of water, carbon, mineral nutrients, and microorganisms between individuals. ... -
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 ... -
Itaconic Acid Inhibits Growth of a Pathogenic Marine Vibrio Strain: A Metabolomics Approach
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)The antimicrobial role of itaconic acid (ITA) has been recently discovered in mammalian cells. In our previous studies, we discovered that marine molluscs biosynthesise substantial quantities of ITA when exposed to marine ... -
Behaviour Reactions of Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) to Multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent a novel and cost effective research tool to investigate cetacean behaviour, as conventional aircraft are expensive, limited in the altitude they can fly at and potentially disturb ... -
Modelling the Key Drivers of an Aerial Phytophthora Foliar Disease Epidemic, From the Needles to the Whole Plant
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2019)Understanding the epidemiology of infectious diseases in a host population is a major challenge in forestry. Radiata pine plantations in New Zealand are impacted by a foliar disease, red needle cast (RNC), caused by ...
