This study reports on the spectroscopy-guided isolation and structural elucidation of secondary metabolites from the New Zealand marine sponge Aaptos confertus. An extraction of the sponge material, followed by several ...

During the course of this study, Tongan marine organisms were investigated for new secondary metabolites. A combination of reversed- and normal-phase chromatographic techniques and NMR spectroscopy was employed, to aid in ...

This study describes the isolation and structure elucidation of several known and 13 new compounds from New Zealand marine organisms. Furthermore, it describes the development of a digital mask program for the analysis of ...

Little is known about the isotope geochemistry of gallium in natural systems (Groot, 2009), with most information being limited to very early studies of gallium isotopes in extra-terrestrial samples (Aston, 1935; De Laeter, ...

Dance is an art form that is traditionally taught through physical demonstration. Choreography is forgotten if it is not practised repetitively, as dancers must rely on physical memory without the help of a written score ...
