Protein and pH-dependent Binding of Nascent Pectin and Glucuronarabinoxylan to Xylogucan in Pea by Rizk, Sandra

“… Nascent pectin and glucuronoarabinoxylan, synthesised in vitro by membrane-bound enzymes from etiolated pea (Pisum sativum L.) epicotyls, were found to bind to pea xyloglucan in a pH-dependent manner. The binding was maximum at low pH (3–4), and decreased to almost zero at pH 6. …”

Application of an empirical transport model to simulate retention of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide in sand columns by Choy, Christine Chin

“…Most of the nanoparticles remained in the sand columns, with an increasing then decreasing retained solids pattern. Application of a one-dimensional advection–dispersion flow model, that included two empirical kinetic terms to account for particle retention in the porous media, produced data fits that followed the general trend of the data, but did not truly capture the concentration maxima in the data sets. …”

Phosphorus supplement alters postprandial lipemia of healthy male subjects by Bassil, Maya

“…Changes in different parameters were analyzed using a 2-factor repeated-measure ANOVA. In the phosphorus (P) supplemented group, postprandial serum P increased (p = 0.00), while changes in insulin, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and triglyceride (TG) were not significantly different than that of placebo. …”

Factors Associated with Meeting Current Recommendation for Physical Activity in Scottish Adults with Diabetes by Ahmad Salman (3173418)

“…Independent determinants of meeting the recommended levels of physical activity include male gender (odds ratio (OR) 1.47; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07–2.00) and being a non-smoker (OR 1.62; 95% CI 1.02–2.56). Furthermore, meeting the recommended physical activity levels decreased with age (OR 0.96; 95% CI 0.95–0.97), having a longstanding illness (OR 0.56; 95% CI 0.34–0.93) and body mass index (OR 0.94; 95% CI 0.92–0.97), but increased with higher fruit and vegetable intake (OR 1.16; 95% CI 1.07–1.25) and mental wellbeing (OR 1.04; 95% CI 1.02–1.06). …”

miRNA-dependent regulation of STIM1 expression in breast cancer by Rashmi P. Kulkarni (18618634)

“…We show that STIM1 expression is regulated post-transcriptionally by the miRNA machinery and identify miR-223 and miR-150 as regulators of STIM1 expression in the luminal non-aggressive MCF7 breast cancer cell line. In contrast, STIM1 expression in the more aggressive basal triple-negative MDA-MB-231 cell line is not significantly modulated by a single miRNA species but is rather upregulated due to inhibition of the miRNA machinery through downregulation of Ago2. …”
