Tumor cell-intrinsic signals promoting tolerance and adaptation to oncogenic kinase inhibition by Flower, Cameron Timothy

“…In this thesis, I explore these issues using tractable experimental models in which genotype-matched kinase inhibitors fail to kill or durably arrest proliferation of cancer cells, with particular focus on the role of cellular signaling networks. …”

New multi-target based therapeutics against an opportunistic superbug by Premkumar, Jayaraman.

“…In the search for more effective strategies to combat the Pseudomonas infections, in vitro activities of antibiotics and natural dietary phytochemicals alone and in combination against P. aeruginosa strains were investigated using the microtitration checkerboard method, fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) indices and time-kill analysis. Furthermore, to gain a new understanding of the molecular mechanism of synergistic interactions identified from the above study various susceptibility testing methods, confirmatory biochemical assays were performed and also validated using computational evaluation involving molecular docking studies. …”

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

“…Secondly, I assessed the level of kleptoparasitism risk for African wild dogs from lions and hyaenas in areas with different waterhole densities and at different distances from waterholes (0 and 5 km away), using playback experiments simulating African wild dog kills and analysing the data with hurdle models (Chapter 3). …”

Understanding sudden larch death – from epidemiology to host resistance by Dun, H

“…By 2019 at least 20,700 hectares of larch had been killed due to P. ramorum infection or felled in efforts to contain the pathogen. …”

Effect of detergent, herbs and spices on the growth of Vibrio parahaemolyticus biofilm in seafood by Nillian, Elexson

“…At a minimum of 10 mg/ml (1000 µg/ml), clove was the most effective as it showed MICs at 19.531-78.125 µg/ml and MBC at 78.125-625 µg/ml. The killing time activity with cloves was fast-acting against antibiotic resistant V. parahaemolyticus at 8× MIC in 0.5hr time, while 1 hr, 4 hr, and 8 hr with star anise, lemon leaves, and curry leaves extracts. …”

Physiological stress responses and meat quality of rabbits subjected to different road transportation and slaughter methods by Khadijah, Nakyinsige

“…The second experiment aimed at determining physiological stress responses, meat quality, bleeding efficiency and storage stability upon subjecting rabbits to halal slaughter without stunning (HS) and gas stun killing (GK). Eighty male New Zealand White rabbits were divided into two groups of 40 animals and subjected to either HS or GK using 61.4% CO2, 20.3% oxygen and 18.3 % nitrogen. …”
