The use of cointegration and error correction modelling to investigate the influence of diabetes and associated medical services expenditure on economic growth in Malaysia.
(AESS, 2013-06)
This paper reports on a frontier study undertaken to examine the influence of mortality rates due to diabetes (DBT) and medical services expenditure (EXP) on economic growth (RGDPP) in Malaysia. The results of the Johansen ...
Estimating the frequency of genomic polymorphisms associated with meat quality in Irish beef cattle
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
The calpain (CAPN) and calpastatin (CAST) genes play significant
roles in meat tenderness (Casas et al., 2005). Identification and
estimation of the frequency of DNA mutations involved in meat
tenderness would not only ...

(Elsevier, 2020-12-15)
COVID-19 pandemic is on a trajectory to cause catastrophic global upheaval with the potential to alter geopolitical and socio-economic norms. Many countries are frantically responding with staggering financial stimulus ...
Longitudinal evaluation of the impact of traditional rainbow trout farming on receiving water quality in Ireland.
(PeerJ, 2018)
In the context of future aquaculture intensification, a longitudinal ten-year evaluation of the current traditional rainbow trout production in Ireland was performed. Publically available and independent data obtained from ...
Pellet diameter of ganoderma lucidum in a repeated-batch fermentation for the trio total production of biomass-exopolysaccharide-exopolysaccharid and its anti-oral cancer beta-glucan response
(AIMS, 2020-10-22)
The pellet morphology and diameter range (DR) of Ganoderma lucidum were observed in a
repeated-batch fermentation (RBF) for the trio total production of biomass, exopolysaccharide (EPS) and
endopolysaccharide (ENS). Two ...
Addressing challenges and opportunities of the European seafood sector under a circular economy framework.
(Elsevier, 2020-02)
The European seafood and aquaculture sectors are facing important challenges in terms of environmental threats (climate change, marine debris, resources depletion), social development (worker rights, consumer's awareness) ...
In-vivo toxicity of bioreactor-grown biomass and exopolysaccharides from Malaysian Tiger milk mushroom mycelius for potential future health applications
(Nature Research, 2021-08-12)
Natural mycelial biomass (MB) and exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced from bioreactor-grown Malaysian Tiger Milk Mushroom Lignosus rhinocerus are considered high-end components due to their high commercial potential value in ...
Integrative genomics of the mammalian alveolar macrophage response to intraceullular mycobacteria
(BMC, 2021)
Bovine TB (bTB), caused by infection with Mycobacterium bovis, is a major endemic disease affecting
global cattle production. The key innate immune cell that first encounters the pathogen is the alveolar
macrophage, ...
Purified β‐glucans from the Shiitake mushroom ameliorates antibiotic‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae‐induced pulmonary sepsis
(Society for Applied Microbiology, 2020-07-24)
Bacterial infection remains the main cause of acute respiratory distress syndrome and is a leading cause of death and disability in critically ill patients. Here we report on the use of purified β‐glucan (lentinan) extracts ...
