The development of aptamer-based probes for the detection of TB antigens ESAT-6.CFP-10 potential TB diagnostic tools
… to a putative marker for active TB; the ESAT-6.CFP-10 heterodimer. Aptamers are highly specific artificial mimics of antibodies that have shown great prospects in diagnostic applications. The aim of this study was to characterise the anti-ESAT-6.CFP-10 aptamers, and to optimise them into more …

Addressing the impact of the EU CFP landing obligation on the northern North Sea ecosystem and Shetland fisheries in a changing climate.
Using ecosystem models, past and present dynamics of the northern North Sea were explored to estimate future impacts of the Landing Obligation (LO) and climate change. Building an Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) model of northern North Sea (International Council for the Exploration of the Sea ICES …

Roles of dopamine D1 and D2, opioid and glutamate NMDA receptor signaling in the acquisition and expression of fat- and glucose-conditioned flavor preferences in rats and c-Fos analysis of the dopamine mesotelencephalic and nigrostriatal pathways following intake of sugars and fats in rats
… f/f) fructose-conditioned flavor preference (CFP). The present studies demonstrated a similar outcome when f/f and f/n processes were combined. Fat-CFP and glucose-CFP studies indicated that systemic injections of the NMDA antagonist, MK-801, were able to significantly reduce acquisition, but …

ESG and corporate financial performance: evidence from JSE listed firms
… corresponding corporate financial performance (CFP) for 70 sampled firms listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) between the periods 2011 and 2019. In line with international and South African research, ESG in its composite and disaggregated form was considered against a select number of …

Exploring the curvilinear relationship between corporate social performance and financial performance: Evidence from South African listed firms
… (CSP) and corporate financial performance (CFP). However, this relationship has not been thoroughly researched in developing markets, particularly in South Africa. Compelling theoretical arguments and empirical evidence have been presented both for and against the financial benefits …

Modeling and Optimization of Cell Formation Problem Using Progressive Modeling and FactDesign
… in the literature as the Cell Formation Problem (CFP). In this study, a new comprehensive, user-friendly framework is proposed and developed to address a variety of problem formulations. A CFP could be simply modeled as a simple incidence matrix or as complex as data tables that can capture all …

Thermodynamics of λ-PCR Primer Design and Effective Ribosome Binding Sites
… this method was used to design primers for CFP cloning in addition to two enzymes cloned in the Senger lab. A total of five strains of BL21(DE3) with pET28a + CFP were constructed, each with the same cyan fluorescent protein (CFP) reporter but different RBS sequences located directly …

In Vivo Investigation of Protein Interactions in Caenorhabditis Elegans by Forster Resonance Energy Transfer Microscopy
… in living transgenic animals expressing CFP- and YFP-fusion proteins. Quantitative FRET microscopy in living C. elegans was most complicated by large autofluorescence contributions to the measured signals. Heterogeneous absolute and relative fusion protein expression levels were observed, …

Relationships between chromatin features and genome regulation
… work on active regulatory regions. I show that CFP-1/CXXC1 binds CpG dense, nucleosome depleted promoters and, along SET-2, is required for H3K4me3 deposition at these loci. Using expression profiling I determined that the majority of CFP-1 binding targets are not significantly mis-regulated in …
