A protein interface can be as 'wet' as a protein surface in terms of the number of immobilized water molecules. This important water information has not been explicitly taken by computational methods to model and identify ...

Ubiquitous, large diameter pores have not previously been adequately demonstrated to occur in leaf cuticles. Here we show conclusively that such structures occur in Eidothea zoexylocarya, a rainforest tree species of ...

Coastal marine ecosystems rank among the most productive ecosystems on earth but are also highly threatened by the exposure to both ocean- and landbased human activities. Spatially explicit information on the distributions ...

Fasciola hepatica secretes proteolytic enzymes and other molecules that are essential for host penetration and migration. This mixture may include enzymes required for the degradation of supramucosal gels, which defend ...

Liquid manure (Slurry) storages are sources of gases Such ammonia (NH(3)) and methane (CH(4)). Danish slurry storages are required to be covered to reduce NH(3) emissions and often a floating crust of straw is applied. ...

Blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum are annually recurrent events in south-east Tasmanian waters. Extensive blooms are preceded by a rainfall trigger and the associated influx of dissolved organic ...

Exposures of Limnodynastes tasmaniensis tadpoles to atrazine (0.1, 1, 3 and 30 mu g L-1), metolachlor (0.1, 1 and 10 mu g L-1) and thiobencarb (90, 180 and 360 mu g L-1) from Cosner stage 28 to 42 under controlled laboratory ...

Although the global decline in coral reef health is likely to have profound effects on reef associated fishes, these effects are poorly understood. While declining coral cover can reduce the abundance of reef fishes through ...

The growth rates and survivorship of juvenile and adult Ruditapes largillierti grown i mesh bags on two commercial oyster farm leases were assessed from March 1997 to January 1998. Clams in Okiwi Bay grew faster than those ...
