Indigenous peoples are resilient with deep traditional knowledge and scientific thought spanning millennia. Global discourse on climate change however has identified populations as being a highly vulnerable group due to the habitation in regions undergoing rapid change, disproportionate burden of morbidity mortality already faced by this population. Therefore, need for self-determination formal recognition knowledges, including micro-level molecular microbial critical foundation planetary...
A single-molecule transcription assay has been developed that allows, for the first time, direct observation of promoter binding, initiation, and elongation by a single RNA polymerase (RNAP) molecule in real-time. To promote DNA binding tethered between two optically trapped beads was held near third immobile surface bead sparsely coated with RNAP. By driving optical trap holding upstream triangular oscillation while measuring position both beads, we observed onset escape (productive...
This article reports on a collaborative pilot study that aimed to improve final year social work students' capacity reflect the learning process through use of an online journal. The ability practice is widely regarded as key skill in and journals are seen valuable aid process. At same time, there legitimate reservations about authenticity some reflection, given difficulties measurement potential for dissimulation. Traditional journaling also has number limitations open superficial approach....
A splenic inflammatory pseudotumour (IPT) is a rare condition in which cells and non-cancerous specialised known as myofibroblasts abnormally replicate the spleen. Patients with IPT may experience symptoms like abdominal pain, fever weight loss, making it difficult to distinguish from processes cancer. As result, diagnosing often requires imaging studies microscopic examination. Here, we present case of woman her 60s history significant for acute myeloid leukaemia now remission who presented...
Lin28 family proteins share a unique structure, with both zinc knuckle and cold shock RNA-binding domains, were originally identified as regulators of developmental timing in Caenorhabditis elegans. They have since been implicated pluripotency mammalian stem cells culture. Using Xenopus tropicalis, we undertaken the first analysis effects on early development vertebrate embryo resulting from global inhibition family. The genome contains two Lin28-related genes, lin28a lin28b. is expressed...
<span>The Australian National University (ANU) and the of South Australia (UniSA) have embarked on Federally-funded project to collaborate in design, development delivery a range undergraduate postgraduate courses engineering. The collaboration investigates new ways bring together strengths discipline expertise each institution students both universities, utilising blended teaching learning approaches. brings much change - at organisational level blending programs, staff their...
Three closely related bacterial species within the genus Neisseria are of importance to human disease and health. meningitidis is a major cause meningitis, while gonorrhoeae agent sexually transmitted gonorrhea lactamica common, harmless commensal children. Comparative genomics have yet yield clear insights into which factors dictate unique host-parasite relationships exhibited by each since, as group, they display remarkable conservation at levels nucleotide sequence, gene content synteny....
Summary In some mild haemophilia A patients (discrepant haemophilia), factor VIII coagulant activity (FVIII:C) levels, by one‐stage assay are more than double those two‐stage assay. This may be due to the longer incubation times (10–12 min) in study aimed determine time course of activation phase assay, using both classical coagulation and chromogenic detection methods. systems, for equivalent (equivalent FVIII:C levels assays, n = 6, all different mutations), similar results were obtained...
Purpose The new economies of the twenty‐first century require approaches to learning and teaching from higher education (HE). Accordingly many universities have gradually scaled‐up learner‐centred approaches, including flexible delivery technology‐enhanced learning, domains enthusiasts towards institutional level. This paper seeks argue that these styles bring similar requirements for scaling assessment practices in HE, particular, it is now time consider change initiatives scale‐up...
Implementing online learning can pose serious pedagogical challenges particularly when programs contain work-integrated (WIL) components. One such component is the site visit, where student groups are led by subject matter experts through an authentic environment. These WIL experiences help students relate theory learnt in classrooms to practice. Construction management benefit from repeated visits same building appreciate spatial and temporal constraints how they change over life of...
We report on a cross-laboratory study of type 2N von Willebrand disease (vWD). tested 101 selected plasma samples for factor VIII and binding activity (vWF). Of these samples, 31 were cotested by 2 specialist centers using different detection procedures vWF–factor binding: there was good agreement between results obtained chromogenic assay enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In total, 8 patients with vWD identified. The 2-stage detected deficiency relative to vWF antigen in all patients; the...
Rarely do university departments of mathematics redesign their basic courses. Through developing an online version our associate degree in engineering collaboration with Open Universities Australia, we redesigned the first a sequence five The cohort proved different to face-to-face experience. We embarked on process refining unit using experiential learning and action research. 13 week is delivered up four times year this paper reviews 10 cycles enhancements over 3 years unpacks layers...
Despite the exponential growth in online learning, student retention rates environment remain a concern to educators. Online learning @ UniSA is object aimed at laying foundations for prospective students. It uses voices of peers explore qualities needed succeed. Through insights four students and their facilitator, learners can make an informed choice about whether study likely suit own situation. Preliminary data supports authors hypothesis that web site has allowed select with eyes wide...
The closely related pathogenic Neisseria species N. meningitidis and gonorrhoeae are able to respire in the absence of oxygen, using nitrite as an alternative electron acceptor. aniA (copper-containing reductase) is tightly regulated by four transcriptional regulators: FNR (fumarate nitrate reductase), NarP, FUR (Ferric uptake regulator) NsrR. regulators control expression binding specific distinct regions promoter. We show present study that NarP both required for induction meningitidis,...
Antiserum to Aeromonas hydrophila A6 cell envelopes was shown in a previous study (C. Y. F. Wong, G. Mayrhofer, M. W. Heuzenroeder, H. Atkinson, D. Quinn, and R. L. P. Flower, FEMS Immunol. Med. Microbiol. 15:233-241, 1996) protect mice against lethal infection by this organism. In study, colony blot analysis of an A. genomic library using antiserum revealed cosmid clone expressing 30-kDa protein which has not been described previously aeromonads. The nucleotide sequence 3.9-kb fragment...
