Exploration of cognitive and neurochemical deficits in an animal model of schizophrenia. Investigation into sub-chronic PCP-induced cognitive deficits using behavioural, neurochemical and electrophysiological techniques; and use of receptor-selective agents to study the pharmacology of antipsychotics in female rats.
… in the reversal learning task using receptor selective compounds. Following this, experiments were carried out using in vitro electrophysiology and in vivo microdialysis in an attempt to investigate the mechanisms underpinning the PCP-induced cognitive deficits. The attentional set-shifting …

Development of techniques for the recovery and enumeration of two mosquito pathogens
Media for the selective recovery of the mosquito pathogens Bacillus sphaericus 1593 and B. thuringiensis serovar. israelensis were developed. Streptomycin at 100 µg/ml and 500 µg/ml in NY agar (nutrient agar with 0.05% yeast extract) successfully selected for B. sphaericus, and allowed counts …

Agrobacterium-Mediated Transformation of Soybean: Test of Selectable Marker Genes
… with glufosinate, Arsenal and 5-MT as the selective agents, respectively. Transgenic soybean lines have been generated using all three selectable markers and molecular analyses confirmed the integration of the transgenes into the soybean genome. Progeny analyses of these transgenic lines …

Growth enhancement and selection attempts for Spirillum volutans
… media supplemented with various compounds as selective agents did not result in predominance of S. volutans.

Estrogen receptor beta modulates prostate carcinogenesis
… (ERβ) is tumour-suppressive, but trials of ERβ-selective agents have not improved clinical outcomes. ERβ has also been implicated as an oncogene, therefore its role remains unclear. Additional evidence suggests interplay between ERβ and AR, the mechanisms of which are uncertain. The study …

Bioinformatic Analysis of Wastewater Metagenomes Reveals Microbial Ecological and Evolutionary Phenomena Underlying Associations of Antibiotic Resistance with Antibiotic Use
Antibiotic resistance (AR) is a pervasive crisis that is intricately woven into social and environmental systems. Its escalation is fueled by factors such overuse, poverty, climate change, and the heightened interconnectedness characteristic of our era of globalization. In this dissertation, the …

Plasticidad fenotípica y diferenciación genética inter- e intrapoblacional en Quercus Suber l.: evaluación mediante caracteres fisiológicos y marcadores moleculares
… that drought and temperature are important selective agents for cork oak. Likewise, plants originated from wet populations showed low water use efficiency (WUE) during a wet year but there were no population differences during a dry year. These results suggest that plants from wet …
