Biocomposites from hydrolyzed waste proteinaceous biomass: Mechanical, thermal and moisture absorption performances
Download2013
Bressler, David C., Alemaskin, Kirill, Sopkow, Lisa, Wolodko, John, Choi, Phillip, Mussone, Paolo G., Mekonnen, Tizazu H.
The main goal of this research is maximizing the utilization of renewable materials in both the matrix and reinforcement, more importantly exploitation of waste material for biocomposite development and evaluating the mechanical, thermal and water resistance performances. Woven roving and chopped...

Whole-genome resequencing of Hanwoo (Korean cattle) and insight into regions of homozygosity
Download2013
Lee, Kyung-Tai, Ahn, Sungmin, Choy, Yun H., Lee, Sang-Heon, Jang, Gul-Won, Liao, Xiaoping, Lee, Seunghwan, Lee, Sung-Yeoun, Chung, Won-Hyong, Stothard, Paul, Choi, Jung-Woo, Kim, Tae-Hun, Kim, Bumsoo, Kim, Jiwoong, Lim, Dajeong, Moore, Stephen S., Kim, Namshin
Background Hanwoo (Korean cattle), which originated from natural crossbreeding between taurine and zebu cattle, migrated to the Korean peninsula through North China. Hanwoo were raised as draft animals until the 1970s without the introduction of foreign germplasm. Since 1979, Hanwoo has been bred...

Collection and characterization of maize and upland rice populations cropped by resource-poor farmers in the uplands of Panama's Azuero region
Download2009
Spaner, Dean, Dreisigacker, Susanne, Love, Brian
The conservation of crop genetic resources is an international priority and requires the continued collection and characterization of farmer varieties. We collected and characterized maize and upland rice populations cropped by farmers in Panama's Azuero region. The objective of our study was to...

Effects of dietary enrichment with a marine oil-based n-3 LCPUFA supplement in sows with predicted birth weight phenotypes on birth litter quality and growth performance to weaning
Download2015
Patterson, Jennifer L., Foxcroft, George R., Dixon, Walter T., Spencer, Joel D., Smit, M. N., Dyck, Michael K.
The effects of a marine oil-based n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (mLCPUFA) supplement fed to the sow from weaning, through the rebreeding period, during gestation and until end of lactation on litter characteristics from birth until weaning were studied in sows with known litter birth...

Feasibility study of asset mapping with children: Identifying how the community environment shapes activity and food choices in Alexander First Nation
Download2013
Fehderau, David D., Willows, Noreen D., Ball, Geoff D., Holt, Nicholas L.
Introduction: It is estimated that First Nations children living on reserves are 4.5 times more likely to be obese than Canadian children in general. Many First Nations children living on reserves have limited healthy food and physical activity options. Understanding how community factors...

Ruminal acidosis and the rapid onset of ruminal parakeratosis in a mature dairy cow: A case report
Download2009
Hook, Sarah E., AlZahal, Ousama, McBride, Brian W., Croom, Jim, Steele, Michael A.
A mature dairy cow was transitioned from a high forage (100% forage) to a high-grain (79% grain) diet over seven days. Continuous ruminal pH recordings were utilized to diagnose the severity of ruminal acidosis. Additionally, blood and rumen papillae biopsies were collected to describe the...

McGarry, Roisin, Ozga, Jocelyn A., Reinecke, Dennis M.
Fruit growth in saskatoons (Amelanchier alnifolia Nutt.), an emerging horticultural crop across the Canadian prairies, results from development of the mesocarp and the endocarp-locular-ovular structure which includes the developing seeds. Contribution of these tissues to fruit size was assessed...

Use of digital images for evaluation of factors responsible for visual preference of apples by consumers
Download2002-01-01
Cliff, Margaret, Sanford, Katherine, Wismer, Wendy, Hampson, Cheryl
This research used digital images to explore some of the factors responsible for consumer preference of visual characteristics of apples (Malus ×domestica Borkh.). The images systematically varied in color and shape (Expt. A: 9 images) and type, shape, and background color (Expt. B: 10 images),...

Lactobacillus reuteri maintains a functional mucosal barrier during DSS treatment despite mucus layer dysfunction
Download2012
Rang, Sara, Roos, Stefan, Phillipson, Mia, Holm, Lena, Dicksved, Johan, Willing, Ben P., Petersson, Joel, Schreiber, Olof
Treatment with the probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus reuteri has been shown to prevent dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in rats. This is partly due to reduced P-selectin-dependent leukocyte- and platelet-endothelial cell interactions, however, the mechanism behind this protective...

Vitamin D supplementation and bone health in adults with diabetic nephropathy: The protocol for a randomised controlled trial
Download2014
Hoffmann, Michelle R., Jindal, Kailash, Senior, Peter A., Mager, Diana R., Jackson, Stephanie T.
Background Suboptimal vitamin D status is highly prevalent in Northern communities, particularly in those patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes and chronic renal disease. Emerging literature suggests that adherence to daily vitamin D supplementation may be an important factor...
