Herschel PEP/HerMES: the redshift evolution of dust attenuation and of the total (UV+IR) star formation rate density
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
Using new homogeneous luminosity functions (LFs) in the far-ultraviolet (FUV) from VVDS and in the far-infrared (FIR) from Herschel/PEP and Herschel/HerMES, we studied the evolution of the dust attenuation with redshift. ...
Towards a new classification system for legumes: Progress report from the 6th International Legume Conference
(Elsevier, 2013)
Legume systematists have been making great progress in understanding evolutionary relationships within the Leguminosae (Fabaceae), the third largest family of flowering plants. As the phylogenetic picture has become clearer, ...
The Coronavirus Nucleocapsid is a Multifunctional Protein
(MDPI, 2014)
The coronavirus nucleocapsid (N) is a structural protein that forms complexes with genomic RNA, interacts with the viral membrane protein during virion assembly and plays a critical role in enhancing the efficiency of virus ...
A synthesis of past, current and future research for protection and management of papyrus (Cyperus papyrus L.) wetlands in Africa
(Springer Verlag, 2014)
Papyrus wetlands (dominated by the giant
sedge Cyperus papyrus L.) occur throughout eastern,
central and southern Africa and are important for
biodiversity, for water quality and quantity regulation
and for the livelihoods ...
Odorant and gustatory receptors in the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans
(PLOS, 2014)
Tsetse flies use olfactory and gustatory responses, through odorant and gustatory receptors (ORs and GRs), to interact with their environment. Glossina morsitans morsitans genome ORs and GRs were annotated using homologs ...
Human African trypanosomiasis research gets booost: unravelling the tsetse Genome
(PLOS, 2014)
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as sleeping sickness, is a neglected disease that impacts 70 million people distributed over 1.55 million km2 in sub-Saharan Africa. Trypanosoma brucei gambiense accounts for ...
A fumonisins immunosensor based on polyanilino-carbon nanotubes doped with palladium telluride quantum dots
(MDPI, 2015)
An impedimetric immunosensor for fumonisins was developed based on
poly(2,5-dimethoxyaniline)-multi-wall carbon nanotubes doped with palladium telluride
quantum dots onto a glassy carbon surface. The composite was assembled ...
International Glossina Genome Initiative 2004-2014: a driver for post-genomic era research on the African continent
(PLOS, 2014)
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as sleeping sickness, is a neglected disease that impacts 70 million people distributed over 1.55 million km2 in sub- Saharan Africa and includes at least 50% of the population ...
Application on gold nanoparticles-dotted 4-nitrophenylazo graphene in a label-free impedimetric deoxynivalenol immunosensor
(MDPI, 2015)
In this paper, we report a new concept to construct a label-free electrochemical
inhibition-based immunosensor for the detection of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON)
in cereal samples. The electrochemical impedance ...
Jellyfication of marine ecosystems as a likely consequence of overfishing small pelagic fishes: Lessons from the Benguela
(University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, 2013)
Changes in two contrasting ecosystems of the Benguela upwelling region,
one dominated at mid-trophic level by jellyfishes (Namibia, northern Benguela
ecosystem, where small pelagic fish abundance has been severely depleted) ...
