Abstract:

Systems that require a driving force of some kind are very common in physical and biological settings. Driving forces in a biological context are usually referred to as rhythms, pulses or clocks. Here we are interested in the effect of adding a square wave periodic driving force to a biological model. This is intended to model inputs from biological circuits with all-or-none or switch-like resposes. We study a model of cell division proposed by Novak and Tyson. Our switched input is intended to model the interaction of the mitotic oscillator with an ultradian clock. We thoroughly characterize

Abstract:

Glutathione (GSH) is an important biological thiol, it performs significant biological functions such as serving an antioxidant which protect cells from oxidative stress by trapping free radicals which damage DNA and RNA. It is known that abnormal plasma levels of GSH have been linked to various human diseases. Therefore, the rapid, sensitive and highly selective detection of GSH is of great importance for investigating its functions in diseases diagnosis. Interestingly, we found in cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) medium, the resorufin-based probe shows an extremely fast, highly selecti

This study investigates the economic impact of the ARC PPRI Weeds Research Division. The Division researches appropriate methods of biological control for invasive alien plants (IAPs). These plants pose an increasing threat to environmental integrity and ecosystem service provision impacting on economic potential. Since the work of the Division is considered a public good, a predominantly descriptive approach has been adopted for the valuation process. A combination of quantitative cost analysis and a qualitative study of the impacts of research and invasive alien plants is used to deal with t

Groups within each of these fields turned to experimental research into the biological effects of radiation to further their attempts to secure an autonomous professional space within medicine, often against resistance from the leaders of medic

Abstract:

The Sofala Bank in the western Mozambique Channel is an essential habitat for shallow-water penaeid shrimps. It supports an important multi-sector and -species fishery, with Fenneropenaeus indicus and Metapenaeus monoceros (banana shrimp) being the two main target species. Over the past decade this valuable resource has been declining, which has been attributed to environmental changes, but no conclusive evidence has been found. This PhD thesis aims to understand the interactive roles of biophysical processes on recruitment of banana shrimps, par ticularly their larvae on the Sofala Bank.

Parasites are a ubiquitous but often unseen, unacknowledged and understudied component of biological communities.

The snoek, Thyrsites atun, is a nomadic predator native to the cold coastal waters of the southern Hemisphere. Being a major target of the South African inshore line-fishery, the snoek is a socioeconomically important species whose ecological significance in the southern Benguela should not be underestimated.

Abstract:

Bibliography: pages 108-123.<br>This study was initiated in response to allegations by the conservation lobby that the commercial beach-seine fishery in False Bay was jeopardizing fish stocks and detrimentally affecting the ecology of the Bay. Its main aims were to quantify the current catch and place it in an historical perspective, to describe seasonal patterns in catches and effort and to assess the impacts of netting on juvenile fish and benthic organisms. The overall objective was to provide a "scientific" basis for the resolution of the controversy surrounding this fishery.

Abstract:

Phytoplankton is an important component of the oceanic carbon cycle, and deriving a good estimate of its carbon biomass (Cphyto) at ocean scale is difficult due to the lack of automatic sampling procedures. This is particularly difficult in the Southern Ocean, where winter conditions limit the sampling. This study explored the opportunity of using a high resolution data from the glider tracks in the Sub-Antarctic Zone of the Southern Ocean. The data consisted of particulate backscattering and chlorophyll and four different methods of estimating phytoplankton carbon were used, three of them bas

Abstract:

This thesis examines the potential of reimagining the Gothic to produce more complex representations of biological sisters when writing fiction. Through writing the novel, 'The Marble Platform', this project reveals how Gothic tropes of the double, transgression, and haunting can be adapted to facilitate subversive behaviour between fictional sisters. Recognising this subversive behaviour is crucial for expanding understandings of sisters in literary narratives, and for providing creative writers with a new approach for engaging with the Gothic tradition.

From an evolutionary perspective, natural selection is expected to maximize transmission to new hosts. If a live, mobile host often benefits parasite transmission, the question arises as to why malaria parasites are virulent? The favoured trade-off view of virulence evolution assumes that virulence arises as an unavoidable consequence of parasite resource exploitation within the host that is necessary to maximise parasite transmission. However, virulence is not always a simple function of parasite density and can arise as a result of immune-mediated virulence (immunopathology). This thesis exp

By using a comparative approach, I have profiled the perivitelline fluid of P. maculata, compared the physiological and proteomic responses of P. canaliculata and P. diffusa to thermal and hypoxic stressors, and examined their sequence divergences. 74 proteins were identified from the PVF of P. maculata.

Abstract:

Sulfate removal from sulfomucin is believed to be a rate-limiting step in sulfomucin degradation by bacteria from the digestive tract. A novel sulfomucin-desulfating enzyme has been discovered in the anaerobic bacterium, Prevotella strain RS2, which can grow on colonic mucin as its sole energy source. The enzyme, located in the periplasm, was assayed by measuring p-nitrophenol removal from the model substrate sulfate-6-N-acetylglucosamine-1-p-nitrophenol, sulfate-6-N-acetylglucosamine being the other product. This activity differs from that of sulfatases which remove the sulfate ester group fr

Abstract:

The pullulanase gene from Caldocellum saccharolyticum, an obligate thermophilic anaerobe, was sequenced and expressed in E. coli. Expression and substrate induction studies in E. coli showed that while gene expression was substrate inducible and the enzyme was exported into the growth medium in C. saccharolyticum, expression was non-inducible in E. coli and the enzyme remained in the cytoplasm. The nucleotide sequence of the pulA gene was shown to be 2478 basepairs (bp) in length, coding for a protein of 96 kDa. The proposed promoter sequences showed homology to both the standard E. coli seque

Abstract:

Species recognition is an integral component of mate selection and must occur in all sexually reproducing organisms to avoid costly hybridisation. Species recognition abilities may be comprised of both innate components and experience during ontogeny through the learning of visual, acoustic, and other sensory species-specific cues. But how greatly is the ability to recognise one‟s own species (conspecifics) over others (heterospecifics) dependent on the phylogeographic relationship of the array of potential species as social partners and to what extent is the discriminatory behaviour modulated

Abstract:

The evaluation of creative ideas is a special case of judgment and decision making. It is difficult to objectively evaluate creative products because most people possess an internalised model of creativity which is usually neither verbalised nor explicitly defined. Also, one of the main assessment dimensions of creativity, originality varies as a function of the evaluator's previous experience. For these reasons, previous research has provided practical rather than theoretical grounds for studying the evaluation process. The present thesis examines the conceptual basis on which people evaluate

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references<br>An Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries management (EAF) offers a holistic approach for sustainable fisheries management by extending the traditional target resources-orientated management (TROM) to include wider social-ecological dimensions of fisheries. An EAF requires balancing of multiple, often conflicting objectives, effectively dealing with complexity and uncertainty, and engaging with diverse groups of stakeholders. Various tools within the field of Multi-criteria Decision Analysis provide a formal approach which takes explicit account of multiple crit
