Parasitism of maternal investment selects for increased clutch size and brood reduction in a host (2005)
Journal Article
Cunningham, E. J., & Lewis, S. (2006). Parasitism of maternal investment selects for increased clutch size and brood reduction in a host. Behavioral ecology official journal of the International Society for Behavioral Ecology, 17(1), 126-131. https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/arj006

The allocation of resources to young that will ultimately be left to die appears counterintuitive. Yet obligate brood reduction has evolved in a number of species, despite the waste of reproductive investment this may incur. Here we test whether broo...

Why chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) mothers are less gregarious than nonmothers and males: the infant safety hypothesis (2005)
Journal Article
Otali, E., & Gilchrist, J. (2006). Why chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) mothers are less gregarious than nonmothers and males: the infant safety hypothesis. Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 59(4), 561-570. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-005-0081-0

Socialization of young is an important component of maternal care in social mammals. It is therefore perplexing that female chimpanzees with dependent offspring spend more time alone than females without dependent offspring, and than males. We propos...

Background
Particulate air pollution is reported to cause adverse health effects in susceptible individuals. Since most of these particles are derived form combustion processes, the primary composition product is carbon with a very small diameter (u...

In the biological conservation literature, the optimum reserve site selection problem has often been addressed by using the prototype set covering and maximal covering formulations, assuming that representation of species is the only criterion in sit...

Summary This report describes a recruitment strategy, including the employment and training of dedicated clinical recruiters, to improve recruitment to lifestyle interventions during breast cancer treatment.

Hydrogenases in Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough: structural and physiologic characterisation of the membrane-bound [NiFeSe] hydrogenase (2005)
Journal Article

The genome of Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough (DvH) encodes for six hydrogenases (Hases), making it an interesting organism to study the role of these proteins in sulphate respiration. In this work we address the role of the [NiFeSe] Hase, found...

The potential of using ozone for the removal of phenanthrene from several different soils, both alone and in combination with biodegradation using a microbial inoculant (Pseudomonas alcaligenes PA-10), was examined. The greater the water content of t... Read More about The use of ozone in the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contaminated soil..

Free-CoA mediated regulation of intermediary and central metabolism: An hypothesis, which accounts for the excretion of α-ketoglutarate during aerobic growth of E. coli on acetate (2005)
Journal Article
El-Mansi, M. (2005). Free-CoA mediated regulation of intermediary and central metabolism: An hypothesis, which accounts for the excretion of α-ketoglutarate during aerobic growth of E. coli on acetate. Research in Microbiology, 156(8), 874-879. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resmic.2005.04.008

During growth of Escherichia coli on acetate, phosphotransacetylase and -ketoglutarate dehydrogenase are in direct competition for their common co-factor, HS-CoA. Such competition is resolved in favour of phosphotransacetylase, thus rendering -ketogl...
