Impacts of feral horses in the Australian Alps and evidence-based solutions
(ECOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT & RESTORATION, 2019)New evidence of impacts by feral horses in Australia's alpine parks systems confirms they endanger threatened species and extensively damage critically endangered bog communities that could take millennia to recover. These ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Spatial Bayesian Network for predicting sea level rise induced coastal erosion in a small Pacific Island
(Journal of Environmental Management, 2019)An integrated approach combining Bayesian Network with GIS was developed for making a probabilistic prediction of sea level rise induced coastal erosion and assessing the implications of adaptation measures. The Bayesian ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Implications of emergent risk for application of risk transfer mechanisms by local governments in Queensland
(Environmental Science and Policy, 2019)Insurance represents an integral part of local government risk management strategy. As climate change progresses, increased loss and risk related to extreme weather events such as tropical cyclones, could motivate insurers ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
A convenient tool for bivariate data analysis and bar graph plotting with R
(BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY EDUCATION, 2019)The Java software jBar consists of a graphical user interface that allows the user to customize and assemble an included script for R. The scripted R pipeline calculates means and standard errors/deviations for replicates ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Comparative bioinformatic analysis suggests that specific dauer-like signalling pathway components regulate Toxocara canis development and migration in the mammalian host
(PARASITES & VECTORS, 2019)Background Toxocara canis is quite closely related to Ascaris suum but its biology is more complex, involving a phase of arrested development (diapause or hypobiosis) in tissues as well as transplacental and transmammary ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Structure-Activity Relationship Studies of Tolfenpyrad Reveal Subnanomolar Inhibitors of Haemonchus contortus Development
(JOURNAL OF MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY, 2019)Recently, we have discovered that the registered pesticide, tolfenpyrad, unexpectedly and potently inhibits the development of the L4 larval stage of the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus with an IC50 value of 0.03 ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Investigating dose-response effects of multimodal exercise programs on health-related quality of life in older adults
(CLINICAL INTERVENTIONS IN AGING, 2019)Background: Older adults are at risk of multiple chronic diseases, most of which could be prevented by engaging in regular physical activity. Frailty is a state of increased vulnerability to diseases. Worsening symptoms ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Being active in pregnancy: Theory-based factors associated with physical activity among pregnant women
(WOMEN & HEALTH, 2019)Although regular physical activity is recommended for pregnant women, compared to pre-pregnancy, antenatal physical activity often reduces or ceases completely. Drawing from the theory of planned behavior, self-determination ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Reducing alcohol consumption during pre-drinking sessions: testing an integrated behaviour-change model
(PSYCHOLOGY & HEALTH, 2019)Objective: Pre-drinking, the practice of consuming alcohol prior to attending a subsequent event, increases the risk of alcohol-related harm, and is common in undergraduate student populations. The current study tested an ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
The effect of ball-milling gas environment on the sorption kinetics of MgH2 with/without additives for hydrogen storage
(INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HYDROGEN ENERGY, 2019)A study of the effect of the ball-milling gas environment on the kinetic enhancement of MgH2 with different additives was conducted using argon and hydrogen. The as-sourced MgH2 was milled for 20 h and then milled for a ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Experimental and computational modelling study of Ni substitution for Fe in Zr3Fe and its hydride
(JOURNAL OF ALLOYS AND COMPOUNDS, 2019)Zr3Fe and Ni-substituted Zr3Fe alloys with 30 and 50 at.% Ni were synthesized and their hydrogen absorption/desorption characteristics were compared experimentally (pressure–composition isotherms, thermal desorption ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Optimization of renewable hybrid energy systems - A multi-objective approach
(RENEWABLE ENERGY, 2019)For a successful transition to a renewable energy economy, optimisation of renewable energy systems must evolve to take into account not only technical and/or economic objectives, but also environmental and socio-political ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Fluid, energy, and nutrient recovery via ad libitum intake of different commercial beverages and food in female athletes
(APPLIED PHYSIOLOGY NUTRITION AND METABOLISM, 2019)This study investigated the effect of consuming different commercial beverages with food ad libitum after exercise on fluid, energy, and nutrient recovery in trained females. On 4 separate occasions, 8 females (body mass ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
The effect of different post-exercise beverages with food on ad libitum fluid recovery, nutrient provision, and subsequent athletic performance
(PHYSIOLOGY & BEHAVIOR, 2019)This study investigated the effect of consuming either water or a carbohydrate (CHO)-electrolyte sports beverage (‘Sports Drink’) ad libitum with food during a 4 h post-exercise recovery period on fluid restoration, nutrient ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
