Non-traditional agricultural export (NTAE) crops such as pineapple are rapidly replacing multiuse landscapes characterized by a diverse matrix of pasture and smallholder crops with intensive, large-scale, monoculture plantations.
According to currently used protocols, however, it replaces the relatively sparse, but highly diverse matrix of the liver by a bulky one with only few, strongly overrepresented molecular species.
"These habitats combine to provide a very diverse matrix within a relatively confined valley and it is important that they are maintained in a way that retains their unique qualities for the benefit of the local community and wildlife".
Passive sampling of chemicals in diverse matrices such as air, water, sediment, soil or biota is extensively used in basic and applied research.
Glycoproteins have been implicated in the control of calcification in diverse structural matrices of both vertebrates [ 36, 37] and invertebrates [ 16].
These modified surface proteins, together with other biopolymers such as polysaccharides, which might also be highly modified and cross-linked, constitute diverse organic matrices of eukaryotes [ 1].
To study this hypothesis further, the prediction network method should be repeated with a dense matrix of assays spanning diverse experimental conditions and compounds tested against all assays.
To investigate the relative influence of core size, surface chemistry, and charge on nanomaterial toxicity, we tested the biological response of whole animals exposed to a matrix of nine structurally diverse, precision-engineered gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) of high purity and known composition.
However, he has not yet mastered the matrix of interactions that tie causes to diverse effects in this complex system.
Each of these diverse data types can be represented as a continuous matrix of genes and conditions (e.g. cell types, tissues, pathways, experimental conditions).
This study therefore aimed to (i) investigate the prevalence of emetic B. cereus strains in a wide range of food matrices, covering foods from plant as well as animal origin, to identify potential contamination sources, and to (ii) facilitate hazard identification by exploring the potential of diverse food matrices for the risk of cereulide toxin production.
