Minimally invasive measurement of carotid artery and brain temperature in the mouse. [PDF]
Magn Reson MedAbstract Purpose Brain temperature is tightly regulated and reflects a balance between cerebral metabolic heat production and heat transfer between the brain, blood, and external environment. Blood temperature and flow are critical to the regulation of brain temperature. Current methods for measuring in vivo brain and blood temperature are invasive and

Phylogenetic relationships among seven freshwater red algal genera in the Batrachospermaceae (Batrachospermales, Rhodophyta) using complete chloroplast genome data. [PDF]
J PhycolAbstract Systematics studies within the freshwater red algal order Batrachospermales have used only one to a few genes to infer evolutionary relationships. The phylogenetic trees presented in these studies recovered monophyletic genera with strong support, but the relationships among genera were often not well supported.

Towards Sustainable Aquafeeds: Complete Substitution of Fish Oil with Marine Microalga Schizochytrium sp. Improves Growth and Fatty Acid Deposition in Juvenile Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 We conducted a 84-day nutritional feeding experiment with dried whole cells of DHA-rich marine microalga Schizochytrium sp. (Sc) to determine the optimum level of fish-oil substitution (partial or complete) for maximum growth of Nile tilapia.
