Impact of interspecific competition on African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) in an ecosystem with artificial perennial water provision by Sandoval Serés, ME

“…My main results show that: a) prey conservation mainly in low waterhole density areas is crucial to decrease food resource competition between African wild dogs with large predators (Chapter 2); b) areas with too high waterhole densities increased the kleptoparasitism risk on African wild dogs and hence the risk of agonistic encounters with dominant predators through an increase on the number of dominant predators arriving at playback locations (Chapter 3); c) African wild dogs preferred temporal partitioning over spatial partitioning to avoid large predators, and African wild dogs were able to co-occur in areas (rich in prey) with high aggregation and density of dominant predators as long as there were enough permanent waterhole densities (at least ~0.01 waterholes per km²) and not too high hyaena densities (above ~14 hyaenas/100km²) (Chapter 4). Specifically to decrease the interspecific competition intensity of African wild dogs with larger predators, it is important that there are areas with enough permanent waterholes (at least ~0.01 waterholes per km²) during the late dry season, but to also limit the number of artificial waterholes created in high waterhole density areas (above ~0.03 waterholes per km²) (Chapter 5). …”

Autoinhibition releasing provides a platform for developing p21-activated kinase-1 (PAK1) activators for hypertrophic heart diseases by He, Y

“…However, the pursuit of kinase activators has encountered limited success, emphasising the importance of a strategic approach to define specific targeted sites. Our focus centres on p21activated kinase-1 (PAK1), which is important in maintaining cellular homeostasis and enhancing cardiomyocyte adaptability to stress. …”

Robust deep learning methods for accountable contrast-agent-free CMR imaging in clinical applications by Gonzales, RA

Investigating the role of CDK1 in governing the transcriptional landscape in cancer cells by Pluta, AJ

“…An elegant method of examining this role is through the use of cell lines expressing an ATP analogue-sensitive CDK1 (AS-CDK1), which allows for rapid and specific inhibition of the kinase. This project details the characterization of the HeLa AS-CDK1 experimental model, and the development of two new cell lines for studying CDK1 function, HCT116 CDK1WT/AS and HEK293 AS-CDK1. …”
