Managing herbivory over space and time: consequences for vegetation and cattle responses in African rangelands by Venter, Alexander S

“…Given that the functional composition of herbivory over Africa has been simplified to one dominated by grazers, namely cattle, I first explored evidence from paleoecology, historical literature and savanna ecology to test the hypothesis that mid-Holocene African savannas were dominated by herbivory as a means of cycling nutrients and changing vegetation whereas fire perhaps played a lesser role than it does today. …”

Comparative Delivery of 1,8-Cineole and Eucalyptus Oil Using Chitosan Nanoparticles and PVA Nanofibers: A Polymeric Nanotechnology Toolbox for Antibacterial, Wound-Healing, and Ant... by Shetta, Amro AbdelAzeem

“…Overall, the findings deliver a proof-of-concept structure–property–function message: CIN generally provides more reproducible performance than EU under matched processing, the NP-in-NF two-barrier architecture most effectively converts volatile bioactivity into sustained antibacterial and wound-healing outcomes, and CS–CIN NPs provide the strongest anticancer response within the tested panel.…”

Characterization of a plasminogen activator from human melanoma cells cultured in vitro by Heussen, Christa, Heussen, Christa

“…A study of the distribution of plasminogen activators in tissues and body fluids obtained from a number of animals showed that all mammals examined had two immunochemically distinct plasminogen activators that corresponded, in their distribution, to the urokinase-like and Mel-PA-like enzymes of man. Antibodies to human Mel-PA cross-reacted with the corresponding enzyme in all mammals tested, whereas antibodies to human urokinase were species specific. …”
