Global response of Vibrio cholerae to predation by heterotrophic protists by Hu, Jie

“…The objectives of this study are to: (1) study the transcriptomic and proteomic response of V. cholerae A1552 biofilms to grazing by Acanthamoeba castellanii and Tetrahymena pyriformis; and (2) identify the chemical cues produced by T. pyriformis which induce grazing resistance of V. cholerae A1552. …”

Strategies to control crystal growth of highly ordered rubrene thin films for application in organic photodetectors by Hofmann, A, Wolansky, J, Hambsch, M, Talnack, F, Bittrich, E, Winkler, L, Herzog, M, Zhang, T, Antrack, T, Winkler, LC, Schröder, J, Riede, M, Mannsfeld, SCB, Benduhn, J, Leo, K

“…These investigations show that a suppression layer of 20 nm C60 is the most promising approach to successfully reduce the surface roughness while maintaining the triclinic phase, proven by grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS). …”

Temporal and spatial characteristics of the Beaufort Sea ambient noise environment by Chen, R., Schmidt, H.

“…In particular, the influx of warm Pacific water, so called the Beaufort Lens, has dramatically altered the level and vertical directionality of ambient noise, creating a low noise zone in the ∼75–250 m depth interval with a noise notch at low grazing angles. It is also demonstrated how the observed noise vertical directionality is consistent with ice-mechanical activity along an active pressure ridge ∼30–50 km from the recording array, as shown by satellite imagery. …”

Carnivory in the common hippopotamus Hippopotamus amphibius: implications for the ecology and epidemiology of anthrax in African landscapes by Dudley, JP, Hang'Ombe, BM, Leendertz, FH, Dorward, LJ, de Castro, J, Subalusky, AL, Clauss, M

“…Although hippos are typically regarded as obligate herbivores and short-grass grazing specialists, field studies have demonstrated that hippos are facultative carnivores that consume flesh and intestinal tissues from the carcasses of other animals. …”

Botanical composition and models of metabolizable energy availability from undergrowth in oil palm plantations for ruminant production by Dahlan, I., Yamada, Y., Mahyuddin, M.D.

“…This paper showed that metabolizable energy available (MEA) models can be used for predicting available energy (MJ/ha/day) from the system for grazing ruminants. This is because MEA model was developed based on both quality and quantity of herbage present in the ecosystem. © 1993 Kluwer Academic Publishers.…”

Edge-on orientation of thermally evaporated metal phthalocyanines thin films for humidity sensing application by Natashah, Fadlan Arif, Hisamuddin, Syaza Nafisah, Coffey, Aidan H., Zhu, Chenhui, Bawazeer, Tahani M., Alsoufi, Mohammad S., Roslan, Nur Adilah, Supangat, Azzuliani

“…Comparative molecular analysis of three different MPcs sensing layers, namely MnPc, VOPc, and VTTBNc, using the powerful tool of grazing-incidence wide-angle and small-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS/GISAXS), were made to find the correlation between molecule orientation of the sensing layers and their humidity sensing performances. …”

Picophytoplankton of the Northeast U.S. Shelf: Community Composition and Dynamics by Stevens, Bethany Lynn Fowler

“…The major findings of this thesis are that, across the NES, the picoeukaryotes divide at much higher rates than the more abundant Synechococcus and are subject to greater top-down control from grazing or viral lysis. Both groups are light limited in the fall, temperature limited in the spring, and undergo earlier spring blooms in warmer offshore waters. …”

Time-series metagenomics reveals changing protistan ecology of a temperate dimictic lake by Krinos, Arianna I., Bowers, Robert M., Rohwer, Robin R., McMahon, Katherine D., Woyke, Tanja, Schulz, Frederik

“…Results Based on small subunit rRNA genes extracted from the metagenomes and metagenome-assembled genomes of microeukaryotes, we identify shifts in the eukaryotic phytoplankton community over time, which we predict to be a consequence of reduced zooplankton grazing pressures after the invasion of a invasive predator (the spiny water flea) to the lake. …”

Trouble on the Range: When Does a National Park Become a Bison Zoo? by Hartley, Sophia
