Understanding how avian influenza viruses adapt to human hosts is critical for the monitoring and prevention of future pandemics. Host specificity is determined by multiple sites in different viral proteins, and mutation of only a limited number of these sites can lead to inter-species transmission. Several of these sites have been identified in the viral polymerase, the best characterised bein...

The aim of the present study was to prepare, characterize and in-vitro evaluation of a Winsor-IV type microemulsion based drug delivery system incorporating celecoxib as BCS class–II model drug. Attempts were made to prepare cost effective O/W microemulsion using Tween 80, Glycerol, sunflower oil and water. The existence of microemulsion zone was investigated using phase diagrams. The systems w...

Organic chelators that are thought to be of recent biological origin control copper speciation in seawater. Previous studies have often resolved these copper binding ligands into two classes, class 1 ligands (conditional stability constants 1012–1014 M21) and class 2 ligands (conditional stability constants 109–1012 M21). At present the sources and structures of these chelators are unknown. Pre...

The spatial and temporal distribution of Trichodesmium in the world’s oceans is highly variable and can potentially be assessed using satellite imagery. Distinguishing these organisms from other phytoplankton in the upper ocean using remotely sensed information, however, requires an optical model that uniquely characterizes Trichodesmium. Here, we parameterize a standard remote-sensing reflecta...
