Genetic composition, population structure and phylogeography of the loggerhead sea turtle: colonization hypothesis for the Brazilian rookeries (2009)
Journal Article
Reis, E., Soares, L., Vargas, S., Santos, F., Young, R., Bjorndal, K., …Lobo-Hajdu, G. (2010). Genetic composition, population structure and phylogeography of the loggerhead sea turtle: colonization hypothesis for the Brazilian rookeries. Conservation Genetics, 11, 1467-1477. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10592-009-9975-0

The loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta, is the most common species of sea turtle nesting in Brazil and is listed as endangered by the IUCN. Our study characterizes the genetic structure of loggerheads in Brazil based on mitochondrial DNA control...

A riot of rhythms : neuronal and glial circadian oscillators in the mediobasal hypothalamus (2009)
Journal Article
Guilding, C., Hughes, A., Brown, T., Namvar, S., & Piggins, H. (2009). A riot of rhythms : neuronal and glial circadian oscillators in the mediobasal hypothalamus. Molecular Brain, 2(28), https://doi.org/10.1186/1756-6606-2-28

Background: In mammals, the synchronized activity of cell autonomous clocks in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) enables this structure to function as the master circadian clock, coordinating daily rhythms in physiology and behavior. However, the domi... Read More about A riot of rhythms : neuronal and glial circadian oscillators in the mediobasal hypothalamus.

Reaction of gold substrates with diazonium salts in acidic solution at open-circuit potential (2009)
Journal Article
Lehr, J., Williamson, B., Flavel, B., & Downard, A. (2009). Reaction of gold substrates with diazonium salts in acidic solution at open-circuit potential. Langmuir, 25(23), 13503-13509. https://doi.org/10.1021/la902002n

The reaction of gold substrates with p-nitrobenzene diazonium tetrafluoroborate (NBD) in 0.1 M H2SO4 at open-circuit potential (OCP) is demonstrated to proceed by electron transfer from gold to the NBD cation. Electrochemical, atomic force microscopy... Read More about Reaction of gold substrates with diazonium salts in acidic solution at open-circuit potential.

Eye gaze in virtual environments: evaluating the need and initial work on implementation (2009)
Journal Article
Murray, N., Roberts, D., Steed, A., Sharkey, P., Dickerson, P., Rae, J., & Wolff, R. (2009). Eye gaze in virtual environments: evaluating the need and initial work on implementation. Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, 21(11), 1437-1449. https://doi.org/10.1002/cpe.1396

For efficient collaboration between participants, eye gaze is seen as being critical for interaction. Video conferencing either does not attempt to support eye gaze (e.g. AcessGrid) or only approximates it in round table conditions (e.g. life size...

A road-map to personalized context-aware services delivery in construction (2009)
Journal Article
Aziz, Z., Anumba, C., & Peña-mora, F. (2009). A road-map to personalized context-aware services delivery in construction. Journal of Information Technology in Construction, 14, 461-472

Existing mobile IT applications in the construction industry are constrained by their reliance on static methods of information delivery, which are often not appropriate to meet changing work demand resulting from dynamic project conditions. This pap... Read More about A road-map to personalized context-aware services delivery in construction.

Frequency of human T regulatory cells in peripheral blood is significantly reduced by cryopreservation (2009)
Journal Article
Elkord, E. (2009). Frequency of human T regulatory cells in peripheral blood is significantly reduced by cryopreservation. Journal of Immunological Methods, 347(1-2), 87-90. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jim.2009.06.001

Cryopreservation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) is essential for many clinical and research assays. Some studies reported consistent changes in PBMC phenotype following cryopreservation. We hypothesized that PBMC freezing may have a neg...
