The effects of intermittent suckling protocols on reproductive performance in primiparous sows
DownloadFall 2017
In pig production, sow reproductive efficiency is a key contributor to breeding herd productivity. A major challenge in the implementation of alternative sow housing and piglet management systems is the maintenance of production efficiency. Conventionally, sows are only bred once they come into...

The mechanism of endothelial cell specific gene expression of Von Willebrand Factor in vivo
DownloadSpring 2010
In vivo analyses of the Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) promoter previously demonstrated that a fragment spanning sequences -487 to +247 targets promoter activation to brain vascular endothelial cells. This fragment is active in all embryonic vessels of transgenic mice but in adult mice its activity...

The Political Economy of Animal Testing and Traceability in Response to Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs)
DownloadSpring 2015
Transmissible Spongifrom Encephalopathies (TSEs), which include bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle and chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids, are associated with three possible risks. The risks of food safety outbreaks, the risks to economic benefits, and the risks to society's...

SSHRC Awarded IG awarded 2015: We will explore how sharing-breadth influences consumers' emotions. We suggest that, compared to narrowcasting (sharing with few others), broadcasting (sharing with many others) changes the perspective, or the lens, through which consumers view their sharing, from...

The role of water channel proteins in facilitating recovery of leaf hydraulic concutance from water stress in Populus trichocarpa
Download2014
Gas exchange is constrained by the whole-plant hydraulic conductance (Kplant). Leaves account for an important fraction of Kplant and may therefore represent a major determinant of plant productivity. Leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf) decreases with increasing water stress, which is due to xylem...

The absolute and relative impact of current quality and reputation variables on consumer decisions are examined using data from the market for Bordeaux wine. The estimates indicate that a model of consumer decision making which incorporates information on reputation (past quality) and collective...

Recombination between co-infecting poxviruses provides an important mechanism for generating genetic diversity in the face of selection pressures. However, poxviruses replicate in membrane-bound enclosed cytoplasmic structures known as factories or virosomes that could impede DNA mixing between...

Transcriptomic and epigenetic profiling of the lung of influenza-infected pigs: A comparison of different birth weight and Susceptibility groups
Download2015-09-22
Harding, John C.S., Foxcroft, George R., Gunvaldsen, Rayna E., Dyck, Michael K., Plastow, Graham S., Detmer, Susan E., Wilkinson, Jamie M., Dixon, Walter T.
Influenza viruses are a common cause of respiratory disease in swine. Infections range in severity from asymptomatic to causing significant morbidity. The main objective of this study was to compare lung transcriptomic and epigenetic responses to influenza infection in pigs from high or low birth...
