Optimising publicity: towards a theoretical model

Acta Academica, 2009
Generating a continuous presence in the media and targeting mass audiences with predetermined marketing communication messages in the process does not have to be synonymous with large budget allocations and the advertising dimension of integrated ...

Description of life stages, molecular characterisation as well as a new host and locality record of Chonopeltis lisikili Van As and Van As (1996) from Phongolo River, South Africa

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021
Chonopeltis lisikili Van As and Van As, 1996 was original described from the Eastern Caprivi (Namibia) and the Okavango System (Botswana), collected from five Synodontis Cuvier, 1816 (Mochokidae) species.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

Fibre level modelling of free water behaviour during wood drying and wetting

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2011
Most drying simulation models describe the moisture migration in wood as a diffusion process, including free water flow at contents greater than the fibre saturation point. This means that wood is seen as a homogeneous material lacking internal structure.

Water Flow Evaluation in Eucalyptus and Corymbia Short Logs

Floresta e Ambiente, 2018
The aim of this study is to evaluate the free and adsorbed water flow in short logs of Eucalyptus urophylla and Corymbia citriodora clones. 40 cm long, short logs were extracted from the base of the trees. Three trees each of C.

Derivation of long duration geographically-centred areal reduction factors for catchment design rainfall estimation in South Africa

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2023
Study region: South Africa. Study focus: The use of Areal Reduction Factors (ARFs) to convert average design point rainfall into areal catchment design rainfall is regarded as fundamental input to event-based deterministic design flood estimation methods.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Free water as a potential mediator linking basal ganglia peri-vascular spaces to white matter hyperintensities in cerebral small vessel disease

Frontiers in Neuroscience
ObjectiveWhite matter hyperintensities (WMH) are common in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and have been linked to an increased risk of stroke and cognitive impairment.
