Methylation and gene expression changes in neurodevelopmental genes in response to maternal tobacco use during pregnancy.
(2022)Maternal smoking during pregnancy (MSDP) is still prevalent today, and despite the widespread evidence of the known harms to infant health, some mothers continue to smoke whilst pregnant. In addition to the known impacts ... -
The association between BPA exposure, DNA methylation, gene expression, and altered neurodevelopment in Zebrafish
(2022)Epigenetics plays a vital role in correct neurodevelopment. Chemical exposures such as bisphenol A (BPA) can disrupt epigenetic patterns in the brain and lead to altered neurodevelopment, with long lasting effects on ... -
The evolution of spherical cell shape; progress and perspective
(Portland Press Ltd., 2019)Bacterial cell shape is a key trait governing the extracellular and intracellular factors of bacterial life. Rod-like cell shape appears to be original which implies that the cell wall, division, and rod-like shape came ... -
Genomic diversity of bacteriophages infecting Microbacterium spp
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2020)The bacteriophage population is vast, dynamic, old, and genetically diverse. The genomics of phages that infect bacterial hosts in the phylum Actinobacteria show them to not only be diverse but also pervasively mosaic, and ... -
Phages in the Gut Ecosystem
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022)Phages, short for bacteriophages, are viruses that specifically infect bacteria and are the most abundant biological entities on earth found in every explored environment, from the deep sea to the Sahara Desert. Phages are ... -
Africa’s drylands in a changing world: Challenges for wildlife conservation under climate and land-use changes in the Greater Etosha Landscape
(Elsevier BV, 2022)Proclaimed in 1907, Etosha National Park in northern Namibia is an iconic dryland system with a rich history of wildlife conservation and research. A recent research symposium on wildlife conservation in the Greater ... -
Approaches to the synthesis of photoactivated cytotoxins
(2022)This thesis reports approaches to the synthesis of [Ru(II)-Co(III)] heterodinuclear metal complex systems. Such heterodinuclear metal complex systems have the potential as photoactivated cytotoxins. Photoactivated cytotoxins ... -
The mental health and wellbeing of parents of children with and without developmental disabilities in Aotearoa New Zealand
(2022)Parents of children on the autism spectrum and with rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders (RGND) often experience higher stress, mental health difficulties, and social isolation than parents of children without ... -
Accessing hearing care services : a survey of the experiences of hard of hearing adults in New Zealand.
(2022)Background: Internationally, significant obstacles were reported by adults who are hard of hearing when accessing health care services (Withers & Speight, 2017). When hard-of-hearing individuals encounter difficulties in ... -
Anthropogenic environmental changes and stress in Australasian bitterns (Botaurus poiciloptilus).
(2022)Since the arrival of humans, New Zealand has lost over 90% of wetlands as a direct result of conversion of the land for urbanization and farming. The Matuku/Australasian bittern (Botaurus poiciloptilus), a native wetland ... -
The impacts of soil as a probiotic in altering the gut microbiome of the Ōkarito kiwi (Apteryx rowi) in hatcheries
(2022)The Ōkarito kiwi, or rowi, is the rarest of the kiwi species and among the least studied. With less than a thousand birds left in the wild, captive rearing has become a critical tool in the conservation of this species. ... -
Dietary exposure assessment to polonium-210 through shellfish for the New Zealand population.
(2022)Polonium-210 in food, and particularly through seafood, is a significant contributor to human ionising radiation exposure. Consequently, characterising the magnitude and causative factors of exposure to Po-210 from shellfish ... -
Integrating Māori knowledge and cultural values into audiological research and hearing health services : an approach inspired by He Awa Whiria – a braided rivers framework.
(2022)In Aotearoa me Te Waipounamu/New Zealand, Māori are frequently underserved and excluded by hearing health services rooted in the dominant culture's values. Health workers often overlook Māori cultural values, leaving many ... -
Directional dark-field implicit x-ray speckle tracking using an anisotropic-diffusion Fokker-Planck equation
(American Physical Society (APS), 2021)When a macroscopic-sized noncrystalline sample is illuminated using coherent x-ray radiation, a bifurcation of photon energy flow may occur. The coarse-grained complex refractive index of the sample may be considered to ... -
Dispositional differences in confirmatory biases in information-seeking about stereotyped targets
(2000)The reported study examined the potential influence of three stable dispositional individual difference variables on the manner in which perceivers employ confirmatory information-seeking when forming an impression of a ... -
An investigation into physiognomic perception : accurate judgments of psychopathic traits and criminality from facial photographs
(2000)Research has shown that some aspects of personality can be accurately read from the permanent features of a person's face. This accuracy has been explained through reference to actual relationships between underlying traits ... -
Dark-field tomography of an attenuating object using intrinsic x-ray speckle tracking.
(SPIE-Intl Soc Optical Eng, 2022)<b>Purpose:</b> We investigate how an intrinsic speckle tracking approach to speckle-based x-ray imaging is used to extract an object's effective dark-field (DF) signal, which is capable of providing object information in ...
