Investigation on Cacao swollen shoot virus (CSSV) pollen transmission through cross-pollination (2013)
Journal Article

DNA- and RNA-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) systems were used with Cacao swollen shoot virus (CSSV) primers designed from conserved regions of the six published genomic sequences of CSSV to investigate whether the virus is transmissible from i...

Dendritic cell migration assay: A potential prediction model for identification of contact allergens (2013)
Journal Article

This manuscript describes methodology and a prediction model for the MUTZ-LC migration assay. The assay represents the physiological change in Langerhans cell (LC) behavior after exposure to a sensitizing chemical, resulting in LC migration from the...

Recent developments in the stripping voltammetric determination of indium (2013)
Journal Article

The determination of indium has become increasingly more important as the demand for this metal has greatly increased in recent years for the manufacture of touch screen devices, photovoltaic and semi-conductor devices. Concentrations of In generally... Read More about Recent developments in the stripping voltammetric determination of indium.

Identification of volatile compounds as indicators of spoilage insects and mites in grain and flour (2013)
Thesis

Solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME) fibres and automated thermal desorption (ATD) tubes were used with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), to investigate volatile secretions from the headspace gas of adults and larvae of confused flour bee...

An Investigation of Fecal Volatile Organic Metabolites in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (2013)
Journal Article

Diagnosing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can be a challenge; many clinicians resort to invasive investigations in order to rule out other diseases and reassure their patients. Volatile organic metabolites (VOMs) are emitted from feces; understanding... Read More about An Investigation of Fecal Volatile Organic Metabolites in Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Balancing selection and the maintenance of MHC supertype variation in a selfing vertebrate (2013)
Journal Article

Hepatic lipogenic enzyme expression in pigs is affected by selection for decreased backfat thickness at constant intramuscular fat content (2013)
Journal Article

This study investigated (i) whether genetic selection for decreased backfat thickness at constant intramuscular fat (IMF) affects the expression of lipogenic enzymes in pig liver and (ii) whether expression of the hepatic lipogenic enzymes is related...

Hepatic lipogenic enzymes expression in pigs is affected by selection for decreased backfat thickness at constant imtramuscular fat content (2013)
Journal Article

Volatiles from oral anaerobes confounding breath biomarker discovery (2013)
Journal Article

The levels of compounds in exhaled mouth air do not necessarily reflect levels in the systemic circulation as bacteria can bio-transform substrates to produce compounds within the mouth. This should be of concern to researchers measuring breath volat... Read More about Volatiles from oral anaerobes confounding breath biomarker discovery.
