Simulating demography, genetics, and spatially explicit processes to inform reintroduction of a threatened char
2019
Ecosphere
Simulation-based approaches are a promising technique for evaluating the independent and combined effects of these factors on the outcome of various reintroduction and associated management actions. ...
Although the importance of these factors in the success of reintroductions is well-accepted, they are typically evaluated independently, which can miss important interactions. ...
To this end, we evaluated the role of spatial, demographic, and genetic factors in the success of reintroduction of bull trout to the lower Pend Oreille River and its tributaries. ...

Evolutionary advantage of directional symmetry breaking in self-replicating polymers
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
The competing requirements of low and high kinetic barriers for formation and long lifetime of inter-strand bonds respectively are simultaneously satisfied through asymmetric kinetic influence of inter-strand ...
Here we carefully examine the physico-chemical requirements for evolutionarily successful primordial self-replicators and theoretically show that at low monomer concentrations that possibly prevailed in ...

Rivers Research and Applications: an international journal devoted to river research and management
For stream fish, barriers to upstream passage, such as waterfalls or culverts with perched outlets, are a common cause of fragmentation. ...
The influence of variation in the value of parameter fishEMForUnknownCells on (left) mean number of segments occupied and (right) overall abundance, under upstream-passage barrier scenarios 2 and 5. ...

Challenges of sperm cryopreservation in transferring heat adaptation of corals across ocean basins
2022
PeerJ
Average fertilization success for the Persian Gulf (9%) and Oman Sea (6%) sperm were 1.4–2.5 times lower than those for the native cryopreserved sperm from Great Barrier Reef (13–15%), potentially due ...
To evaluate whether cross-bred offspring had enhanced thermal tolerance, the survival of larvae sired by Persian Gulf cryopreserved sperm, Great Barrier Reef cryopreserved sperm, and Great Barrier Reef ...
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We thank D Abrego, G Vaughan, A Severati for assistance with coral collections; and VL Carter for assistance with the cryopreservation of Great Barrier Reef coral sperm. ...

Drug transport across the human placenta: review of placenta-on-a-chip and previous approaches
2019
Interface Focus
The creation of an in vitro microengineered model of the placenta can be used to replicate the interactions between the mother and fetus, specifically pharmaceutical drug intake reactions. ...
This review is based on past and current research that compares the feasibility and testing of the placenta-on-a-chip microengineered model to the previous and underdeveloped in vivo and ex vivo approaches ...
to analyse, visualize, and replicate the human placental structure in vitro the microchip's success has opened the doors for evaluating pathogens, chemicals and drug transfer across the human placental ...

Physical Characterisation of an Alginate/Lysozyme Nano-Laminate Coating and Its Evaluation on 'Coalho' Cheese Shelf Life
2013
Food and Bioprocess Technology
UV/VIS spectroscopy and contact angle analyses confirmed the layers' deposition and the successful assembly of nano-laminate coating on A/C PET surface. ...
This work aimed at the characterisation of a nanolaminate coating produced by the layer-by-layer methodology and its evaluation on the preservation of 'Coalho' cheese. ...
The absorbance of successive deposition of layers was measured at 266 nm, after the deposition of each layer (and upon drying). Three replications of the measurements were taken. ...

Despite the successful implementation of telaprevir-and boceprevir-based triple therapies, all-oral regimens will certainly become a first choice for a number of HCV-infected patients in the very near ...
In this review, we summarize available data of interferon-free regimens for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C and assess implications for perspectives and challenges in the further development of all-oral ...
Because NNIs bind distantly to the active centre of NS5B, their barrier to resistance is significantly lower as for NIs, and viral breakthrough has frequently been observed in monotherapy studies evaluating ...

Conspecific sperm precedence is reinforced, but postcopulatory sexual selection weakened, in sympatric populations of Drosophila
2019
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences
This might be particularly important in the context of 'reinforcement', where selection acts directly to increase prezygotic barriers to reduce the cost of heterospecific matings. ...
We also find these D. pseudoobscura populations have decreased sperm competitive ability against conspecifics, reducing the opportunity for sexual selection within these populations. ...
