In Tanzania, the overall objective of the National Fisheries Policy is to develop a robust, competitive and efficient fisheries sector that contributes to food security, nutrition, growth of the national economy and improvement of the wellbeing of fisheries stakeholders. The overall goal of fisheries management is to produce sustainable biological,...

Biodiversity loss is of global concern, and is due in part to deforestation and high consumer demand for wood and wood products. The neotropical tree species Cedrela odorata (“Spanish cedar” or “cedro”) is economically valuable for its wood and faces threats of overexploitation. Due to strong similarities in wood features...
The compositions and loadings of organic matter in soils and sediments from a diverse range of environments along the Fly River system were determined to investigate carbon transport and sequestration in this region. Soil horizons from highland sites representative of upland sources have organic carbon contents (%OC) that range from...
Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), the most common cancer of the urinary bladder in dogs, is usually diagnosed at an advanced disease stage with limited response to chemotherapy. Commercial screening tests lack specificity and current diagnostic procedures are invasive. A proof of concept pilot project for analyzing the canine urinary proteome...
Perinatal growth restriction programs higher risk for chronic disease during adulthood
via morphological and physiological changes in organ systems. Perinatal growth
restriction is highly correlated with a decreased nephron number, altered renal function
and subsequent hypertension. We hypothesize that such renal maladaptations result in
altered pharmacologic patterns for life. Maternal...

The field performance of genetic containment technologies–considered important for
certain uses of transgenic trees in forestry–are poorly known. We tested the efficiency of a
barnase gene driven by the TA29 tapetum-dominant promoter for influencing growth rate and
inducing male-sterility in a field trial of transgenic hybrid poplar (Populus tremula x...
