Transcriptomic and Biological Characterisation of the Subvariants Within the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Southern Cross Strain

Henderson, Paris Ella

Tuberculosis (TB) is a curable disease caused primarily by the bacterium <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> (<em>Mtb</em>), yet it continues to claim a life every 20 seconds globally. While New Zealand has a relatively low overall burden of TB, Māori and Pasifika communities are disproportionately affected compared to...

Experiences of Stroke Rehabilitation for Māori stroke survivors and their whānau: Whānau, Hauora and Recovery

Petley, Witana Roy

Stroke is a major cause of long-term disability in Aotearoa (New Zealand) and continues to disproportionately affect Māori (Indigenous People of Aotearoa), who experience stroke at younger ages and face poorer outcomes compared with non-Māori. While stroke rehabilitation services in Aotearoa are guided by well-establis...

Framework for signal-to-noise ratio estimation in fluorescence imaging systems

Zhang, Yijie

Inspired by the EMVA 1288 standard for camera sensor characterization, this work proposes a robust, reproducible method to evaluate fluorescence imaging SNR using statistical analysis of multiple images acquired under identical conditions. By analyzing pixel-wise temporal noise and spatial nonuniformity characteristics...

Dissecting the conformational equilibrium of Src kinase using single-molecule FRET

Chen, Liuyu

Kinases are responsible for the posttranslational phosphorylation of amino acid residues. Src non-receptor tyrosine kinases belong to the human kinase family. Src and Src family kinases were intensively investigated due to their malignant transformation and oncogenesis characters. Published crystal structures and bioch...

CELL COMPETITION IN SPONTANEOUS REGRESSION OF DEVIL FACIAL TUMOR DISEASE (DFTD) ASSOCIATED WITH RASL11A-ACTIVATION

Polsley, Ciarra

Cancer, a leading threat to human health, is unregulated cell growth characterized by genome instability. High mutation rates and irregularities in chromosomal structure can result in the evolution and competition of genetically distinct populations within a tumor. Termed intratumor heterogeneity (ITH), this diversity...

The Role of Mass Wasting in Carbon Cycling and Sequestration in Fiordland: A Radiocarbon Approach

Davidson, Lucy Ellen

Current understanding of carbon dioxide draw down over Fiordland, New Zealand does not align with atmospheric observations and modelling. The region appears to be sinking significantly larger quantities of carbon than expected and the mechanisms driving this sink are unknown. Mass wasting (landslides and turbidity curr...

GROUND COVER AND PREDATORY ARTHROPODS IN WASHINGTON SWEET CHERRY ORCHARDS

Smytheman, Peter R.

Tree fruits, including apples, pears, cherries, and other stone fruits, are economically important crops grown in temperate regions worldwide. These crops are vulnerable to various pests and vector-borne diseases that reduce productivity and profitability, leading to reliance on chemical controls. Some pests affect mul...

Electricity prices during the energy crisis in Germany: The role of market power

Till Fladung · Anna Saile

Durante la crisis energética de 2022, los precios de la electricidad en Alemania alcanzaron niveles sin precedentes, afectando gravemente a los consumidores. Para analizar las causas de estos altos precios, desarrollamos un modelo de despacho eléctrico que simula precios de equilibrio horarios bajo el supuesto de compe...
