Influence of gender roles and rising food prices on poor, pregnant women's eating and food provisioning practices in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Download2013
Rashid, Sabina F., Willows, Noreen, Mumtaz, Zubia, Levay, Adrienne V.
Background Maternal malnutrition in Bangladesh is a persistent health issue and is the product of a number of complex factors, including adherence to food 'taboos’ and a patriarchal gender order that limits women’s mobility and decision-making. The recent global food price crisis is also...

Influence of molecular weight on enthalpy relaxation and fragility of amorphous carbohydrates
Download2012-01-01
Syamaladevi, Roopesh M., Barbosa-Cánovas, Gustavo V., Schmidt, Shelly J., Sablani, Shyam S.
Enthalpy relaxation and fragility of selected carbohydrates were correlated with their molecular weight. Anhydrous glucose and its oligomers (i.e. maltose and maltotriose) were selected to represent amorphous carbohydrates with increasing molecular weight. The enthalpy relaxation behavior of...

Influence of nitrogen sources on growth and mycotoxin production by isolates of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis from wheat
Download2016
Bouras, Noureddine, Holtz, Michael D., Aboukhaddour, Reem, Strelkov, Stephen E.
The fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Died.) Drechs. infects the leaves and kernels of wheat, causing tan spot and red smudge, respectively. Isolates of P. tritici-repentis have been reported to be both phytopathogenic and mycotoxigenic. This research investigates the influence of nitrogen...

Detailed GIS studies across spatially complex rangeland landscapes, including the Aspen Parkland of western Canada, require accurate digital elevation models (DEM). Following the interpolation of last return lidar (light detection and ranging) data into a DEM, a series of 256 reference plots,...

Influence of water activity on the heat resistance of Salmonella enterica in selected low-moisture foods
Download2020-12-01
Guatam, Bina, Govindan, Byju N., Gänzle, Michael G., Roopesh, M.S.
Low-moisture foods (LMF with water activity, aw < 0.85) including pet foods and black pepper powder have consistently been associated with foodborne disease caused by Salmonella enterica. Increased heat resistance and prolonged survival at low-moisture conditions, however, remain major challenges...

Influence of water activity on thermal resistance of microorganisms in low-moisture foods: A review
Download2016-01-01
Syamaladevi, Roopesh M., Tang, Juming, Villa-Rojas, Rossana, Sablani, Shyam S., Carter, Brady, Campbell, Gaylon
A number of recent outbreaks related to pathogens in low-moisture foods have created urgency for studies to understand the possible causes and identify potential treatments to improve low-moisture food safety. Thermal processing holds the potential to eliminate pathogens such as Salmonella in...

Infrared thermography detects febrile and behavioural responses to vaccination of weaned piglets
Download2015
Bench, Clover J., Schaefer, Allan L., Cook, Nigel J., Lui, T., Chabot, B.
An automated, non-invasive system for monitoring of thermoregulation has the potential to mitigate swine diseases through earlier detection. Measurement of radiated temperature of groups of animals by infrared thermography (IRT) is an essential component of such a system. This study reports on...

Inhibition of Kv2.1 voltage-dependent K+ channels in pancreatic ß-cells enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion
Download2002
Chan, Catherine B., Wang, Jianli, Sakellaropoulos, George, Tsushima, Robert G., Joseph, Jamie W., Smukler, Simon R., Sewing, Sabine, Saleh, Monique C., Wang, Jing, Salapatek, Anne Marie F., Wheeler, Michael B., MacDonald, Patrick E.
Voltage-dependent (Kv) outward K+ currents repolarize β-cell action potentials during a glucose stimulus to limit Ca2+ entry and insulin secretion. Dominant-negative “knockout” of Kv2 family channels enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Here we show that a putative Kv2.1 antagonist...

Initial differences in lipid processing leading to pig- and beef-derived mature adipocyte dedifferentiation
Download2009
Fernyhough, Melinda E., Hausman, Gary J., Guan, Leluo, Guridi, Maitea, Jiang, Zhihua, Dodson, Michael V., Chen, Jie
Clonal cultures of pig-derived mature adipocytes are capable of dedifferentiating and forming proliferative-competent progeny cells in vitro. Initial lipid processing, is different to that observed in cultures of beef-derived adipocytes. Mature pig adipocytes extrude lipid before proliferation,...

Innate immunity and carbohydrate metabolism alterations precede occurrence of subclinical mastitis in transition dairy cows
Download2015
Dervishi, Elda, Dunn, Suzana M., Zhang, Guanshi, Ametaj, Burim N., Hailemariam, Dagnachew
Background This study examined whether activation of innate immunity and alterations of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism precede development of subclinical mastitis (SCM). Methods Blood samples were collected from the coccygeal vein from 100 Holstein dairy cows at -8, -4, disease diagnosis week,...
