H-aggregates of the cyanine dye Cy5 are formed during covalent linkage to the cationic macromolecule Poly(allylamine) (PAH).The nonfluorescent H-aggregates strongly restrict the usage of the dye for analytical purposes and prevent a quantitative determination of the labeled macromolecules.The behavior of the H-aggregates has been studied by investi
The sea lamprey (Petromzons marinus) is a devastating invasive species that represents a significant impediment to restoration of the Laurentian Great Lakes.There is substantial interest in developing environmentally benign control strategies for sea lamprey, and many other aquatic invasive species, that employ the manipulation of semiochemical inf
The present work proposes a robust method of analyzing sets of data series shifted in time in respect to each other utilizing the process of dynamic calibration by comparison.Usually the Pearson’s correlation analysis coefficient is applied for this purpose.However, in some cases the method does not bring satisfactory results, as it can be se
Abstract Background Mastitis is a disease that incurs significant costs in the dairy industry.A promising Headwear approach to mitigate its negative effects is to genetically improve the resistance of dairy cattle to mastitis.A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) across multiple breeds for clinical mastitis (CM) and its indicato
Environmental DNA (eDNA) includes a set of rapidly emerging technologies that have the potential to support environmental monitoring and biodiversity conservation through novel, non-invasive, cost-effective and democratic methods and tools.Meanwhile, Cold Cup eDNA researchers are developing international standards for eDNA technologies, methods and
