The ability to accurately determine the sex of individuals is important for research and conservation efforts. While most species of turtle exhibit secondary sexual dimorphisms that can be used to reliably infer sex, there are some species that are v...
To determine the rabies vaccination status of Queensland veterinarians and veterinary students and their perception of zoonotic risk from Australian bat lyssavirus (ABLV).Cross-sectional questionnaire surveys.Questionnaires were sent by post in 2011 ...
The selection of seaweed species for the integrated cultivation in land-based aquaculture systems is primarily based on the ability to grow in free-floating cultures thereby increasing stocking densities and areal biomass productivity. We assessed a ...
Batten to rafter connections in light framed housing can be vulnerable to progressive or cascading failures where a localised failure can cause the loss of a large section of the roof envelope. The synchrony of loads at neighbouring connections may a...
Cheng, Wenjuan;Wen, Shiling;Wang, Yutang;Qian, Zhiping;Tan, Yuyao;Li, Honying;Hou, Yueli;Hu, Haiyang;Golledge, Jonathan;Yang, Guang High serum uric acid (sUA) has been reported to be a risk factor for hypertension however, whether this is the case for all age groups is not clear. We examined the association between sUA concentrations and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP...
The probability of an aquatic animal being available for detection is typically <1. Accounting for covariates that reduce the probability of detection is important for obtaining robust estimates of the population abundance and determining its status ...
Closed-canopy forests are being rapidly fragmented across much of the tropical world. Determining the impacts of fragmentation on ecological processes enables better forest management and improves species-conservation outcomes. Lianas are an integral...
Monitoring visual displays while performing other tasks is commonplace in many operational environments. Although dividing attention between tasks can impair monitoring accuracy and response times, it is unclear whether it also reduces processing eff...
With the advent of the United Nation’s 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals, there is a call for more methodologies to understand and evaluate combinations of these global challenges, their integrated nature a...
Sphalerite is the most important host mineral for the recovery of indium. New techniques to study the presence and distribution of this critical metal in sphalerite can therefore be of interest for scientific and technological purposes alike. In this...
