Non-Equilibrium Transport Across Liquid Membranes Using Coordination Cages
… the system out of equilibrium, elucidating competitive displacement mechanisms between guest compounds. Our second system employs the competitive displacement mechanism to construct an artificial antiport system, driving nonequilibrium distribution of guest compounds temporarily, using the …

The competitive dynamics of two Protea shrubs growing in a mixed fynbos stand
… the nearest neighbour approach, which considers competitive impacts as a function of the immediate neighbouring plant. Both methods demonstrated negligible interspecific, and strong intraspecific competitive effects on fecundity. However strong interspecific competition appears to be occurring at …

Discovery of Molecules that Modulate Protein-Protein Interactions in the Context of Human Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen-Associated Processes of DNA Replication and Damage Repair
… ligands, which were evaluated in a PCNA-based competitive displacement assay. From the results, some of the peptoid-based compounds that were synthesized displayed the ability to disrupt the interaction between PCNA and a PIP box-containing peptide. The IC50 values of these compounds had …

The effects of PVP(FE(III)) catalyst and polymer molecular weight on gene delivery via biodegradable crosslinked polyethylenimine
… ethidium bromide exclusion and heparan sulfate competitive displacement assays, which could contribute to their improved transfection efficiency. Overall, the synthesis reported here provides a more robust, controlled reaction to produce cross-linked biodegradable PEIs that show enhanced gene …

Avian Land-Use Associations in the Eastern Mediterranean
… intensity of scrub, as there was no evidence of competitive displacement. The complex Mediterranean farmland mosaic was created by traditional farming practices that are usually economically marginal. Agri-environment mechanisms to support this heterogeneity are necessary for effective …

G2/M checkpoint associated repression of polo-like kinase-1 mediated by the tumour suppressor, p53
… by which p53 may repress PLK1: 1)through competitive displacement of an unidentified transcription factor that is essential for normal PLK1 expression and 2) through HDAC recruitment leading to local repression-associated changes in the chromatin structure. These data establish PLK1 as a …

Reproductive Success is Secured by a Rapidly-Evolving Short Peptide in Female Aedes Aegypti Mosquitoes
… interference by sympatric species to effect competitive displacement. These obstacles must be overcome to ensure successful reproduction. What are the molecular adaptations that have evolved in this unique species to guarantee inheritance of genetic material to the next generation? How can …

Aspects of autoantibody epitopes in type 1 diabetes
… specific ZnT8RA as demonstrated in reciprocal competitive displacement experiments. We suggest that future studies should include the ZnT8A variant specificity in both humoral and cellular tests to understand the possible role of autoantibody affinity to predict T1D. In order to investigate the …

Reproductive Biology of Syntopic Blackside Dace and Southern Redbelly Dace in Two Kentucky Streams
… habitat, which could potentially lead to competitive displacement or hybridization. It is known that the federally threatened Blackside Dace and common Southern Redbelly Dace are ecologically similar species, occur syntopically in Kentucky in the upper Cumberland River basin, and utilize …

Current status and impact (2004-2015) of indigenous ungulate herbivory on the vegetation of Sanbona Wildlife Reserve in the Little Karoo
… a response to other disturbance mechanisms, to competitive displacement and to rainfall events. The low stocking rates in the first five years of the study resulted in there being very little difference evident between the treatments. However, once stocking rates increased from 2008, both …

Phenology and frugivory of large-fruited species in northern New Zealand and the impacts of introduced mammals
… species for dispersers has resulted in character displacement in the timing of ripe fruit presentation. With this in mind I examined the timing of ripe fruit presentation – the phenological patterns – and nutrient complementarity of fruit species known to contribute to the kereru diet. Introduced …
