Understanding the Interaction Between an Obligate Hyperparasitic Bacterium, Pasteuria penetrans and its Obligate Plant-Parasitic Nematode Host, Meloidogyne spp.
(Elsevier, 2009)Pasteuria penetrans is an endospore-forming bacterium, which is a hyperparasite of root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne spp. that are economically important pests of a wide range of crops. The life cycle of the bacterium and ... -
Cuticle Surface Coat of Plant-Parasitic Nematodes
(ANNUAL REVIEWS, 2011)The surface coat (SC) of the plant-parasitic nematode cuticle is an understudied area of current research, even though it likely plays key roles in both nematode-plant and nematode-microbe interactions. Although in several ... -
Pasteuria endospores from Heterodera cajani (Nematoda: Heteroderidae) exhibit inverted attachment and altered germination in cross-infection studies with Globodera pallida (Nematoda: Heteroderidae)
(2012-03)The Pasteuria group of Gram-positive, endospore-forming bacteria are parasites of invertebrates and exhibit differences in host specificity. We describe a cross-infection study between an isolate of Pasteuria from pigeon ... -
Inter- and intra-specific cuticle variation between amphimictic and parthenogenetic species of root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) as revealed by a bacterial parasite (Pasteuria penetrans)
(2008-06)Specific host-parasite interactions exist between species and strains of plant parasitic root-knot nematodes and the Gram-positive bacterial hyperparasite Pasteuria penetrans. This bacterium produces endospores that adhere ... -
Re-evaluation of the life-cycle of the nematode-parasitic bacterium Pasteuria penetrans in root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp.
(2011)Comparisons of the growth of Pasteuria penetrans in adult root-knot nematode females infected with P. penetrans dissected from the roots of tomato plants were undertaken using bright-field and scanning electron microscopy. ... -
Using multiple archives to understand past and present climate-human-environment interactions : the lake Erhai catchment, Yunnan Province, China
(2008-07)A 6.48 m sediment core sequence from Erhai lake, Yunnan Province, provides a multi-proxy record of Holocene environmental evolution and human activity in southwest China. These sedimentary records provide proxy time series ... -
An inter-continental comparison between the environmental histories of two Lake Catchment systems in montane environments of France and South West China
(2011)Inter-continental comparisons of environmental histories can improve understanding of environmental problems and hazards, and suggest possible actions to promote adaptive capacity and resilience in communities. This paper ... -
Novel Drugs, Novel Solutions : Exploring the potential of technological tools for prevention of drug abuse
(2011-07)Objectives: Drug abuse has increased markedly in the last decade especially with the emerging of the unregulated websites selling novel herbal, designer and pharmaceutical psychoactive products. These are advertised online ... -
Phenomenon of new drugs on the Internet : the case of ketamine derivative methoxetamine
(2012)On the basis of the material available both in the scientific literature and on the web, this paper aims to provide a pharmacological, chemical and behavioural overview of the novel compound methoxetamine. This is a ... -
Modelling and Analysis of TCP Performance in Wireless Multihop Networks
(2010-07)Researchers have used extensive simulation and experimental studies to understand TCP performance in wireless multihop networks. In contrast, the objective of this paper is to theoretically analyze TCP performance in this ... -
Why the ability hypothesis is best forgotten
(2009)According to the knowledge argument, physicalism fails because when physically omniscient Mary first sees red, her gain in phenomenal knowledge involves a gain in factual knowledge. Thus not all facts are physical facts. ... -
Human approach distances to a mechanical-looking robot with different robot voice styles
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008)Findings are presented from a Human Robot Interaction (HRI) Demonstration Trial where attendees approached a stationary mechanical looking robot to a comfortable distance. Instructions were given to participants by the ... -
Probabilistic Model Checking of Constraints in a Supply Chain Business Process
(Springer Nature Link, 2011)Business process models represent corporate activities, their dependencies and relations, as far as they are needed to reach a specific company goal. In practice, they often exhibit stochastic behavior, e.g., to deal with ... -
Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams, Pigeonhole Formulas and Beyond
(2010)Groote and Zantema proved that a particular OBDD computation of the pigeonhole formula has exponential size, and that limited OBDD derivations cannot simulate resolution polynomially. Here we show that an arbitrary OBDD ... -
A New efficient dynamic MAC protocol for the delivery of multiple services over GPON
(2009)The Gigabit-capable passive optical network (GPON) has become an attractive and promising solution for the broadband access network. It is apparent that an efficient medium access control (MAC) protocol is crucial not only ... -
Teaching robot companions : The role of scaffolding and event structuring
(2008)For robots to be more capable interaction partners they will necessarily need to adapt to the needs and requirements of their human companions. One way that the human could aid this adaptation may be by teaching the robot ... -
Using n-grams to rapidly characterise the evolution of software code
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008)Text-based approaches to the analysis of software evolution are attractive because of the fine-grained, token-level comparisons they can generate. The use of such approaches has, however, been constrained by the lack of ... -
Case Study Research in Software Engineering : Guidelines and Examples
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)Gives detailed practical guidelines on the preparation, conduct, design and reporting of case studies of software engineering -
Selecting Features in Origin Analysis
(Springer Nature Link, 2010)When applying a machine-learning approach to develop classifiers in a new domain, an important question is what measurements to take and how they will be used to construct informative features. This paper develops a novel ...
