Assessing the Sulfide Footprint of Mussel Farms With Sediment Profile Imagery: A New Zealand Trial
(PLOS, 2015)Growing numbers and increased stocking of marine mussel farms make reliable techniques for environmental effect assessment a priority. Previously, we showed how the color intensity of soft sediment could be used to estimate ... -
How Gambling Harms Experienced by Pacific People in New Zealand Amplify When They Are Culture-related
(Springer, 2017)Pacific people in New Zealand are a minority ethnic population identified in national prevalence studies as having the highest risk of developing gambling problems. As earlier studies identified some links between culture ... -
Iodine Status in European Women in New Zealand With Moderate Selenium Deficiency
(OA Text (OAT), 2017)For the optimal function of thyroid gland, adequate intakes of iodine and selenium are required. Since iodine is essential component of the thyroid hormones, its insufficiency leads to inadequate hormone production and ... -
Salivary Diagnostic Markers in Males and Females During Rest and Exercise
(BioMed Central, 2017)Background: Saliva is a useful diagnostic tool for analysis in sports, exercise and nutrition research, as collection is easy and non-invasive and it contains a large number of analytes affected by a range of physiological ... -
Does Maximal Strength Training Improve Endurance Performance in Highly Trained Cyclists: A Systematic Review
(Scholars Research Library, 2012)Muscle strength may play an important role in endurance road cycling events. By increasing lower body strength and power, the anaerobic energy production and maximal levels of muscular force required during races to climb ... -

A Journey With Elie Metchnikoff: From Innate Cell Mechanisms in Infectious Diseases to Quantum Biology
(Frontiers Media S. A., 2016)Many reviews of Elie Metchnikoff's work have been published, all unanimously acknowledging the significant contributions of his cellular theory to the fields of immunology and infectious diseases. In 1883, he published a ... -
Global Diversity of Desert Hypolithic Cyanobacteria
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2017)Global patterns in diversity were estimated for cyanobacteria-dominated hypolithic communities that colonize ventral surfaces of quartz stones and are common in desert environments. A total of 64 hypolithic communities ... -
Taxonomic and Functional Diversity of Soil and Hypolithic Microbial Communities in Miers Valley, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2016)The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica are an extreme polar desert. Mineral soils support subsurface microbial communities and translucent rocks support development of hypolithic communities on ventral surfaces in soil ... -
Niche Filtering of Bacteria in Soil and Rock Habitats of the Colorado Plateau Desert, Utah, USA
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2016)A common feature of microbial colonization in deserts is biological soil crusts (BSCs), and these comprise a complex community dominated by Cyanobacteria. Rock substrates, particularly sandstone, are also colonized by ... -
The Accuracy and Reliability of Plantar Pressure Measurements for the Early Diagnosis of Foot Deformities in Patients Suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis
(Insight Medical Publishing Group (imedPub), 2017)Aim: Pedobarographic analysis may be employed to quantify foot function, however, the value of pedobarographic analysis as a diagnostic tool for the screening of recently diagnosed Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients remains ... -
