Unconditional nonlinear stability for convection in a porous medium with vertical throughflow (2007)
Journal Article

Linear and nonlinear stability analyses of vertical throughflow in a fluid saturated porous layer, which is modelled using a cubic Forchheimer model, are studied. To ensure unconditional nonlinear results are obtainable, and to avoid the loss of key...

Global stability for penetrative convection with throughflow in a porous material (2007)
Journal Article

This paper investigates penetrative convection in a layer of porous material saturated with water when there is throughflow present. The density is quadratic in temperature. A linearized instability analysis is derived and compared with a weighted no... Read More about Global stability for penetrative convection with throughflow in a porous material.

Signaling on the stigma: Potential new roles for ROS and NO in plant cell signaling (2007)
Journal Article

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species, particularly NO, are key components of diverse signaling networks in animals and plants. We have recently shown that epidermal cells of stigmas from a range of different angiosperms accumul...

Voltammetric behavior of p-nitrophenol and its trace determination in human urine by liquid chromatography with a dual reductive mode electrochemical detection system (2007)
Journal Article

The determination of trace p-nitrophenol (PNP) concentrations in human urine has been successfully achieved by high performance liquid chromatography dual electrode detection (LC-DED) in the reduction-reduction mode. Initial cyclic voltammetric studi...

Artificial gills for robots: MFC behaviour in water (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper reports on the first stage in developing microbial fuel cells (MFCs) which can operate underwater by utilizing dissolved oxygen. In this context, the cathodic half-cell is likened to an artificial gill. Such an underwater power generator h... Read More about Artificial gills for robots: MFC behaviour in water.

Functional three-dimensional HepG2 aggregate cultures generated from an ultrasound trap: Comparison with HepG2 spheroids (2007)
Journal Article

Three-dimensional culture systems are an ideal in vitro model being capable of sustaining cell functionalities in a manner that resembles the in vivo conditions. In the present study, we developed an ultrasound trap-based technique to rapidly produce...

Expression of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, cytochrome P450-c17, and sulfotransferase 2B1 proteins in liver and testis of pigs of two breeds: Relationship with adipose tissue androstenone concentration (2007)
Journal Article

An excessive accumulation of androstenone in pig adipose tissue is a major contributor to the phenomenon of boar taint. Androstenone deposition is dependent on the rate of androstenone biosynthesis in testis and androstenone degradation in liver. The...

Relationship between carcass weight, adipose tissue androstenone level and expression of the hepatic 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in entire commercial pigs (2007)
Journal Article

Boar taint is a major meat-quality defect in pigs and is due to excessive accumulation of skatole and androstenone in adipose tissue. The present work investigated the relationship between carcass weight, levels of skatole and androstenone in adipose... Read More about Relationship between carcass weight, adipose tissue androstenone level and expression of the hepatic 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in entire commercial pigs.

A mutation in the voltage-gated sodium channel gene associated with pyrethroid resistance in Latin American Aedes aegypti (2007)
Journal Article

Pyrethroids are commonly used as mosquito adulticides and evolution of resistance to these compounds is a major threat to public health. 'Knockdown resistance' to pyrethroids (kdr) is frequently caused by nonsynonymous mutations in the voltage-gated...

Implications of dealing with airborne substances and reactive oxygen species: What mammalian lungs, animals, and plants have to say (2007)
Journal Article

A gas-exchange structure interacts with the environment and is constantly challenged by contaminants that may elicit defense responses, thus compromising its primary function. It is also exposed to high concentrations of O2 that can generate reactive...

Human mitochondrial branched chain aminotransferase isozyme: Structural role of the CXXC center in catalysis (2006)
Journal Article

Mammalian branched chain aminotransferases (BCATs) have a unique CXXC center. Kinetic and structural studies of three CXXC center mutants (C315A, C318A, and C315A/C318A) of human mitochondrial (hBCATm) isozyme and the oxidized hBCATm enzyme (hBCATm-O...
