Allometric association between in vivo estimation of body composition during growth using deuterium dilution technique and chemical analysis of serial slaughtered pigs
Download2006
Looft, H., Landgraf, S., Kalm, E., Roehe, R., Plastow, G. S., Susenbeth, A., Knap, P. W.
The objective of this study was to develop accurate mathematical-statistical functions to estimate body composition of live pigs between 20 and 140 kg weight from total body water (TBWA) determined by the deuterium dilution technique. Chemical body compositions during the growth period are...

Neutron stars provide the key to understanding the equation of state at the highest pressure and density. Constraining the mass-radius relation of neu- tron stars will provide opportunities to test the currently conflicting candidates for the equation of state. Next generation instruments, such...

Neutron stars (NSs) are some of the densest objects in the universe. In this thesis, I focus on studying X-ray thermal emission from neutron stars, using X-ray observations of different varieties of NSs. X-ray observations can put constraints on the mass and radius of NSs, and thus on density and...

Connecting galactic to local scales in the neutral interstellar medium across the Local Group
DownloadFall 2020
Star formation drives secular galaxy evolution by linking stars and gas in galaxies. This link forms part of the "baryonic cycle," where stars form from interstellar gas, and a portion of that gas is returned to the interstellar medium upon the star’s death. Understanding the baryonic cycle and...

Development of carcass cuts, organs, body tissue and chemical body composition during growth of pigs
Download2006
Landgraf, S., Roehe, R., Plastow, G. S., Kalm, E., Looft, H., Susenbeth, A., Knap, P. W.
A serial slaughter trial was carried out to examine the developmental change of physical and chemical body composition in pigs highly selected for lean content. A total of 48 pigs (17 females and 31 castrated males) were serially slaughtered and chemically analysed. Eight pigs were slaughtered at...

Concerns over the environmental impacts of thermal production methods for bitumen and heavy oil have led to the exploration of alternative technologies including solvent-assisted production methods. While solvent-assisted production methods have been studied extensively, apparent diffusion rates...

Effect of Regular Dietary Consumption of Beans or Peas on Body Weight, Body Composition, and Blood Pressure in Men and Women with Mild Hypercholesterolemia
DownloadSpring 2015
Pulse consumption has been associated with beneficial effects on heart health. In this randomized controlled trial, 51 participants with mild hypercholesterolemia were randomly assigned to consume study food items containing ¾ cup beans, peas, or rice (control) per day, 5 days per week for 6...

Postpartum weight retention (PPWR) is an important risk factor for long-term obesity. Accurate assessment and understanding of energy expenditure and other metabolic characteristics of postpartum women may improve weight management following childbirth. The overall aims of this research were to...
