This article discusses some of the key themes on wildfires in forests and their effects fauna that I explored 2020 Krebs lecture at University Canberra. The examined my personal perspectives such topics as (1) climate change fire, (2) role hazard reduction burning mitigating house loss from wildfires, (3) how logging can elevate risks high-severity wildfire, (4) ways which structure age a fores...

In Chlamydomonas reinhardtii the synthesis of glutamate and aspartate during photosynthesis has been shown to be closely associated with the Krebs cycle (2). The addition of P-enolpyruvate but not pyruvate was found to enhance greatly the incorporation of "4CO2 in cell-free preparations of C. reinhardtii (3), suggesting that P-enolpyruvate carboxylase was important in CO2 fixation in this alga ...

Krebs Swiss has been engaged in developing unconventional and innovative processes that are inexpensive, yet achieve highest levels of salt purity. This article examines the nature of impurities in salt and explains the unit operations employed in the Krebs Swiss SALEX salt purification process. It describes the prediction methods of the process performance and presents results obtained in indu...

Concentrations of double-stranded RNA above about 0.1 mug/ml inhibit translation of encephalo-myocarditis viral RNA and mouse globin messenger RNA in extracts of Krebs II ascites cells. Protein synthesis initially proceeds at the control rate, then abruptly shuts off in a manner similar to that observed in reticulocyte lysates [Hunt, T. & Ehrenfeld, E. (1971) Nature New Biol. 230, 91-94]. Subst...

We determined the roles of circulating blood components and chemical mediators in anaphylactic vasoconstriction and microvascular permeability during Ascaris suum antigen-induced anaphylaxis in isolated canine lungs. Either the right or left lower lobe served as the control lung, which was perfused with autologous blood, and the contralateral lobe from the same dog was examined for the effect o...

Aims: Currently, the blue light of resin curing unit is frequently used in dental treatment. However, the influence of the blue light irradiation on oral tissue is not clear. The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of dental blue light irradiation on vascular smooth muscle. Methods: Isolated rat descending aorta was suspended in a superfusion chamber and superfused continuously with K...
