Trapping parasite secretory proteins in baker's yeast by Nene, Vishvanath M., Bishop, Richard P.

“…The yeast protein-translocation system appears to be less discriminating than that of higher eukaryotes - for example, a Theileria parva cysteine protease gene containing a recessed, nonclassical signal allows access to the secretary pathway- and yeast technology could have general application in studying elements of parasite protein trafficking.…”

Review of instrumental texture measurements as phenotypic tool to assess textural diversity of root, tuber and banana food products by Ayetigbo, O., Arufe, S., Kouassi, A., Adinsi, L., Adesokan, M., Escobar, A., Delgado, L.F., Tanimola, A., Oroniran, O., Vepowo, C.K., Nakitto, M., Khakasa, E., Chijioke, Alamu Ugo, Nowakunda, K., Ngoh Newilah, Gerard B., Otegbayo, B., Akissoe, N., Lechaudel, M., Tran, T., Alamu, E.O., Maziya-Dixon, B., Mestres, C., Dufour, D.

“…Moreover, a lack of standard, discriminant, repeatable protocols that can be used to measure the textural traits deter linkages between breeding better RTB genotypes and end user/consumer's preferences. …”

Training dogs to indicate synthetic pheromones from Plagionotus detritus, Coleoptera, Cerambycidae to detect living beetles by Apelqvist, Matilda

“…Secondly, the dogs were taught to discriminate the target odour from similar decoys. Both compounds in the synthetic pheromone were used separately as decoys, in addition to three other compounds found in closely related Swedish longhorn beetle species, living in the same habitat. …”

Genetic fingerprinting of Theileria parva using a telomeric DNA probe by Bishop, Richard P., Spooner, P.R., Sohanpal, B.K.

“…Eight of the nine T. parva stocks tested were discriminated by the telomeric restriction-fragment-length polymorphisms (RFLOs). …”

Risk preferences of agricultural students and their willingness to become a farmer by Nainggolan, Lukas Bonar

“…I measure willingness to become a farmer and risk preferences in an online survey and incentivized experiment conducted with 577 students at Bogor Agricultural University, Indonesia. Discriminating between alternative theories of decision-making under risk, I find that students’ risk preferences behave in accordance with Cumulative Prospect Theory (CPT), whereas there is no connection between risk preferences and students’ willingness to become a farmer. …”

Patch choice from a distance and use of habitat information during foraging by the parasitoid Ibalia leucospoides by Fischbein, Deborah, Bettinelli, Julieta, Bernstein, Carlos, Corley, Juan Carlos

Chemotactile perception and associative learning of amino acids in yellowjacket workers by Mattiacci, Analia, Pietrantuono, Ana Laura, Corley, Juan Carlos, Masciocchi, Maite

“…Our results suggest that V. germanica can detect free amino acids and exhibit associative learning toward them. They can discriminate between amino acids with different profiles and do not generalize among similar compounds. …”

Maasai pastoralists kill lions in retaliation for depredation of livestock by lions by Ontiri, Enoch M., Odino, Martin, Kasanga, Antony, Kahumbu, Paula, Robinson, Lance W., Currie, Tom, Hodgson, Dave J.

“…The probability of lion‐killing increases as an act of retribution for predation of livestock that discriminates among species of carnivore. This, coupled with universal acceptance of coexistence between lions and Maasai pastoralists, should guide mitigation strategies for human–wildlife interactions in Kenya and beyond.The borders of national parks in Kenya are hotspots for human–wildlife conflict. …”

Genetic diversity in 96 accessions of cassava as revealed by Random Amplified Polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs) by Offei, Samuel Kwame, Danquah, E.Y., Okai, E., Mignouna, Hodeba D., Dixon, Alfred G.O.

“…While no variation was observed among plants belonging to the same accession, a large number of inter-accession polymorphisms enable us to reliably discriminate between all of the accessions.…”

Location and characterization of the stem-calyx area on oranges by computer vision by Ruiz, L. A., Moltó, Enrique, Juste, Florentino, Pla, F., Valiente, R.

“…Three image analysis methods were studied and evaluated to solve the problem of removing long stems attached to mechanically harvested oranges: colour segmentation based on linear discriminant analysis, contour curvature analysis, and a thinning process which involves iterating until the stem becomes a skeleton. …”

Ploidy determination in Musa germplasm using pollen and chloroplast characteristics by Tenkouano, A., Crouch, J.H., Crouch, H.K., Vuylsteke, D.R.

“…While pollen count and stainability effectively separated triploid accessions from diploids or tetraploids, they did not discriminate between diploids and tetraploids. In the sporophyte, the relative contributions of interploidy and intraploidy differences to genetic variation in the number of chloroplasts in stomatal guard cells were 70.8% and 29.2%, respectively. …”
