The economic implications of a multiple species approach to bioeconomic modelling : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Economics at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2002
Human activity frequently leads to the endangerment or extinction of other species. While ecologists study the biological facets of species loss, economics, as the science of understanding people's behaviour, has been charged with investigating the ...

Transducers Across Scales and Frequencies: A System‐Level Framework for Multiphysics Integration and Co‐Design

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

Comparative analyses of extinction risk in vertebrates

, 2009
Measures of current extinction risk imply that a high proportion of the world’s species are threatened with global extinction in the near future, stressing the need for thorough understanding of extinction processes.

Ultra‐Flexible Dual‐Band Organic Photodetectors for Visible and Near‐Infrared Sensing

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
An ultra‐flexible dual‐band organic photodetector with a total thickness of 5.6 µm for bio‐sensing is developed. It selectively detects visible and near‐infrared light with high sensitivity by switching the voltage. Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) measurement is demonstrated using the device attached to a finger under a single light source by ...

Efek Perlindungan Mangsa dan Daya Dukung Variabel pada Sistem Mangsa-Pemangsa dengan Fungsi Respon Beddington-DeAngelis

Jambura Journal of Mathematics
Several species in the world have experienced extinction. To save species from extinction, a system needs to be formulated, one of which is protecting prey.

Indole‐3‐Propionic Acid Improves Alveolar Development Impairment via Targeting VAMP8‐mediated SNAREs Complex Formation in Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study aims to evaluate the impact of the tryptophan‐derived metabolite indole‐3‐propionic acid (IPA) on lung development and autophagic flux. IPA alleviates hyperoxia‐induced alveolar arrest by promoting autophagosome‐lysosome fusion via inhibition of VAMP8 phosphorylation, which is suggestive of a promising therapeutic target of BPD.

Interactions of Antibody Drug Conjugate Anti‐Tubulin and Topoisomerase I Inhibitor Payloads with Radiotherapy to Potentiate Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Antibody drug conjugates deliver their cytotoxic anti‐tubulin or topoisomerase I inhibitor payloads to tumors through cancer cell receptor targeting. The released drug payloads induce cellular changes that interact with radiotherapy resulting in radiosensitization that improves cancer cell kill and stimulates anti‐tumor immune responses.

Elevation gradient of successful plant traits for colonizing alpine summits under climate change

Environmental Research Letters, 2013
Upward migration of plant species due to climate change has become evident in several European mountain ranges. It is still, however, unclear whether certain plant traits increase the probability that a species will colonize mountain summits or vanish ...

Biological control of the chestnut gall wasp with \emph{T. sinensis}: a mathematical model

, 2015
The Asian chestnut gall wasp \emph{Dryocosmus kuriphilus}, native of China, has become a pest when it appeared in Japan, Korea, and the United States. In Europe it was first found in Italy, in 2002.

Gut Microbiota‐Derived Anandamide Mediates the Therapeutic Effects of Urolithin A on Alcohol‐Induced Cognitive and Social Dysfunction via CB1R‐DRD2‐RAP1 Signaling Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that Urolithin A (UA) counteracts alcohol‐induced cognitive and social dysfunction (AICSD) via a gut microbiome‐dependent mechanism. UA‐enriched Bacteroids sartorii and Parabacteroids distasonis elevate anandamide (AEA), which activates the CB1R‐DRD2‐Rap1 signaling cascade to drive synaptic repair and reduce neuroinflammation ...
