Understanding human coronavirus HCoV-NL63
(Bentham Science, 2010)
Even though coronavirus infection of humans is not normally associated with severe diseases, the identification
of the coronavirus responsible for the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome showed that highly ...
A glance at quality score: implication for de novo transcriptome reconstruction of Illumina reads
(Frontiers, 2014)
Downstream analyses of short-reads from next-generation sequencing platforms are often preceded by a pre-processing step that removes uncalled and wrongly called bases. Standard approaches rely on their associated base ...
More on the nature of the variable star UNSW-V-760
(Oxford University Press, 2012)
The results of two multicolour time-series photometric observing runs, separated by about two
months, are presented. The same periodicities previously detected in photometry of UNSWV-
760 are still present, albeit at ...
Deaf telephony: community-based co-design
(Wiley, 2011)
The process of community-based co-design is one that explores various solution configurations in a multi-dimensional design space whose axes are the different dimensions of requirements and the various dimensions of designer ...
Assessment of microbial contamination of groundwater in upper Limphasa River catchment, located in a rural area of northern Malawi
(Water Research Commission, 2012)
In rural Africa, scientific evidence is often lacking to guide the scaling-up of groundwater as the safest source of potable water. An investigation was conducted in the Upper Limphasa Catchment in northern Malawi to ...
Carbonation of brine impacted fractionated coal fly ash: Implications for CO2 sequestration
(Elsevier, 2011)
Coal combustion by-products such as fly ash (FA), brine and CO2 from coal fired power plants have the potential to impact negatively on the environment. FA and brine can contaminate the soil, surface and ground water through ...
Expression, purification and preliminary crystallographic analysis of recombinant human DEAD-box polypeptide 5
(International Union of Crystallography, 2010)
The DEAD-box RNA helicase DDX5 is involved in many aspects of RNA
processing and has been implicated in a number of cellular processes involving
alteration of RNA secondary structure. The N-terminal region of DDX5, ...
Obesity is associated with increased seminal insulin and leptin alongside reduced fertility parameters in a controlled male cohort
(BioMed Central, 2014)
Obesity appears to be associated with male reproductive dysfunction and infertility, although this has been inconsistent and inconclusive. Insulin and leptin are known mediators and modulators of the hypothalamus-pituitary-testes ...
The impact of male overweight on semen quality and outcome of assisted reproduction
(Medknow Publications, 2014)
The impact of obesity on male reproductive health remains a
contested topic as evidence is inconclusive and inconsistent. Even
more debatable is the effect of male obesity in assisted reproduction.
In the manuscript, ...
Beyond the jellyfish joyride and global oscillations: advancing jellyfish research
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
There has been debate in the literature recently about increases in jellyfish populations in response to anthropogenic change, and this has attracted widespread media interest. Despite an international collaborative ...
