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...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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,...

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,...

The metabolic syndrome is highly associated with the incidence of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The metabolic aberrations of insulin resistance and hyperandrogenemia have been proposed to contribute to the development of dyslipidemia and increased Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) risk in PCOS....
