Effectiveness of interpretive exhibits in influencing students’ intention in birdwatching activity at a Bird Interpretive Center, Fraser’s Hill, Pahang, Malaysia by Mokhli, Nuraain Amalina

“…The study has shown that the new interpretive intervention exhibit is more effective in influencing students’ affect and intention to participate in birdwatching compared to the existing non-interpretive exhibit at the Bird Interpretive Centre. These findings indicated that the interpretive exhibit developed in this study successfully delivers the messages and the ‘call for action’ and shapes students’ affect and intention based on the objective of the interpretive exhibit.…”

The cellular characterization of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in virus-infected cells using the receptor binding domain binding specific human monoclonal antibodies by Chan, Conrad En-Zuo, Ng, Ching-Ging, Lim, Angeline Pei-Chew, Seah, Shirley Lay-Kheng, Chye, De-Hoe, Wong, Steven Ka-Khuen, Lim, Jie-Hui, Lim, Vanessa Zi-Yun, Lai, Soak-Kuan, Wong, Pui-San, Leong, Kok-Mun, Liu, Yi-Chun, Sugrue, Richard J., Tan, Boon Huan

“…A human monoclonal antibody panel (PD4, PD5, PD7, SC23, and SC29) was isolated from the B cells of convalescent patients and used to examine the S protein in SARS-CoV-2-infected cells. While all five antibodies bound conformational-specific epitopes within SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein, only PD5, PD7, and SC23 were able to bind to the receptor binding domain (RBD). …”

Post-polymerisation modification of surface chemical functionality and its effect on protein binding by Choong, Cleo Swee Neo, Griffiths, Jon-Paul, Luo, Baiwen, Bora, Meghali, Foord, J. S., Parker, Emily M., Moloney, Mark G.

“…Derivatisation of polystyrene by carbene insertions followed by diazonium coupling permits the introduction of diverse chemical functionality, providing access to materials with similar bulk properties, but in which surface chemical characteristics are systematically varied across a range of surface polarity, hydration and non-bonding interaction behaviour. Protein binding experiments with bovine serum albumin demonstrate that protein adhesion is dependent upon the identity of the surface chemical group, with tert-butyl, hexyl, dimethylamino, amino, and carboxyl modified systems all exhibiting higher levels of binding, while glycol, hydroxyl, and phosphonate give similar or lower levels of binding, relative to the control. …”
