Current wireless human-computer interaction devices such as wireless mice and touchscreens, by and large, incorporate a sophisticated electronic architecture. The sophistication achieves wireless capabilities but carries ...
Characterization and Cradiovascular Effects of (13S)-9α,13α-epoxylabda-6β(19),15(14)diol dilactone, a Diterpenoid Isolated from Leonotis leonurus
(South African Chemical Institute, 2008)
A new diterpenoid, (13S)-9 ,13 -epoxylabda-6 (19),15(14)diol dilactone (1), was isolated from Leonotis leonurus and the structure determined via NMR analysis. The compound causes significant changes in blood pressure of ...
Transcriptomic analysis reveal novel genes with sexually dimorphic expression in the zebrafish gonad and brain
(Plosone, 2008)
Our knowledge on zebrafish reproduction is very limited. We generated a gonad-derived cDNA microarray from zebrafish and used it to analyze large-scale gene expression profiles in adult gonads and other organs. We have ...
DDESC: Dragon database for exploration of sodium channels in human

(Elsevier, 2008)
Polychaete worm tubes within the mid to lower intertidal zone along the South African west coast were frequently observed to be overgrown by a minutely papillate species of encrusting coralline algae. Analysis of the ...
The growth of post-weaning abalone (Haliotis midae Linnaeus) fed commercially available formulated feeds supplemented with fresh wild seaweed
(National Inquiry Services Centre (NISC) and Taylor & Francis, 2008)
The effect of five formulated feeds, supplemented with fresh wild seaweed on the growth of post-weaning juvenile abalone (6 - 20
mm shell length), Haliotis midae Linnaeus was investigated by means of a growth trial at a ...
Effects of herbivore grazing on the physiognomy of the coralline alga Spongites yendoi and on associated competitive interactions
(National Inquiry Services Centre (NISC) and Taylor & Francis, 2008)
The territorial gardening limpet Scutellastra cochlear occurs along the south and southern west coasts of South Africa, while one of its primary food items, the encrusting coralline alga Spongites yendoi, extends much ...
