Functional characterisation of LEA proteins from bdelloid rotifers
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, 2012-11-13)
‘Anhydrobiosis’ or ‘life without water’ is a fascinating phenomenon that was first described by the eminent Dutch microscopist Antony van Leewenhoek in bdelloid rotifers in 1702. Despite being studied for over three hundred ...
Detection of mycobacterial siderophores and implications for diagnostics
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Chemical Engineering and BiotechnologyQueen's College, 2012-11-13)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a pervasive human pathogen that continues to kill 1.8 million people every year. Acquisition of iron within the host is
vital to the pathogenicity of Mtb and to accomplish this it ...
Effects of solution exposure on the combined axial-shear behaviour of unidirectional CFRP rods
(ElsevierComposites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 2012-04-06)
In fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) prestressed concrete applications, an FRP tendon must sustain high axial tensile stresses and, if cracks occur, additional dowel forces. The tendon may also be exposed to solutions and so ...
Phased Nonlinear Finite-Element Analysis of Precracked RC T-Beams Repaired in Shear with CFRP Sheets
(American Society of Civil EngineersJournal of Composites for Construction, 2012-10-17)
Phased nonlinear finite-element (FE) analyses were carried out to predict the behavior of precracked reinforced concrete (RC) T-beams repaired in shear with externally bonded (EB) carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) ...
Multiple functionally divergent and conserved copies of alpha tubulin in bdelloid rotifers
(2012-08-17)
AbstractBackgroundBdelloid rotifers are microscopic animals that have apparently survived without sex for millions of years and are able to survive desiccation at all life stages through a process called anhydrobiosis. ...
