We developed 15 novel polymorphic microsatellites for the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas by screening genes and expressed sequence tags (ESTs) found in GenBank. The number of alleles per locus...
Lattice-Boltzmann model for axisymmetric thermal flows (2009)
Li, Q., He, Y. L., Tang, G. H., Tao, W. Q.
In this brief report, a thermal lattice-Boltzmann (LB) model is presented for axisymmetric thermal flows in the incompressible limit. The model is based on the double-distribution-function LB method,...
Dendritic Cell Function in Allostimulation Is Modulated by C5aR Signaling (2009)
Peng, Q., Li, K., Wang, N., Li, Q., Asgari, E., Asgari, E., ...
Regulation of T cell immunity by C5a has been suggested from recent studies. However, the underlying mechanisms, particularly the involved cells and biochemical basis, are not well defined. In this...

BACKGROUND: microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in development and are associated with birth defects. Data are scant on the role of miRNAs in birth defects arising from exposure to...
The adaptive response to oxidative stress in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger B1-D (2008)
McNeil, Brian, Harvey, L.M., Li, Q.
In the present study, we used a recombinant filamentous fungus strain, Aspergillus niger B1-D, as a model system, and investigated the antioxidant defences in this organism. Our findings indicate...
McNeil, B., Harvey, L.M., Li, Q.
It is now accepted that heat treatment can lead to oxidative stress events in microorganisms, but there are few detailed studies on protein oxidation and consequent recycling/elimination of...
High frequency transformer linked converters for photovoltaic applications (2006)
Examines "converter topoligies suitable for Module Integrated Converters (MICs) in grid interactive photovoltaic (PV) systems, and makes a contribution to the development of MIC topoligies based on...
A current fed two-inductor boost converter for grid interactive photovoltaic applications (2004)
A current fed two-inductor boost converter is combined with a low frequency unfolder stage to produce a Module Integrated Converter (MIC) for photovoltaic applications. A two-phase buck converter...
This paper studies the optimization of a resonant two-inductor boost cell for a photovoltaic (PV) Module Integrated Converter (MIC). The resonant two-inductor boost cell is current fed from a...
Development of high frequency power conversion technologies for grid interactive PV systems (2002)
This thesis examines the development of DC-DC converters that are suitable for Module Integrated Converters, (MICs), in grid interactive photovoltaic (PV) systems, and especially concentrates on the...
