Association of a single nucleotide polymorphism in the bovine leptin gene with feed intake, feed efficiency, growth, feeding behaviour, carcass quality and body composition
Download2004
Hansen, C., Murdoch, B., Guercio, S., Basarab, J. B., Moore, S. S., Meng, Y., Li, C., Nkrumah, J. D.
Leptin is a 16-kDa-hormone product of the obese gene synthesized and expressed predominantly by adipose tissues, which has been shown to play major roles in the regulation of body weight, feed intake, energy balance, fertility, and immune system functions. We report an investigation into the...

Barbedo, Lucas, Belanger, Simon, Lukovich, Jennifer V., Myers, Paul G., Tremblay, Jean-Eric
Pulses of ocean primary productivity during the fall season are frequent in the mid-latitudes when ocean cooling and wind-driven turbulence erode the surface stratification and allow the injection of nutrients into the euphotic zone. This phenomenon is often referred to as a phytoplankton fall...

Atmospheric Sb in the Arctic during the past 16,000 years: Responses to Climate change and human impacts
Download2008
Shotyk, W., Zheng, J., Krachler, M., Fisher, D.
Abstract: Applying strict clean room procedures and sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) methods, concentrations of Sb and Sc were determined in 57 sections of a 170.6-m-long ice core drilled on Devon Island, Arctic Canada, in 1999, providing a record of atmospheric...

Atomistic measurement of the effect of interface tuning on the toughening and failure mechanisms of polypropylene nanocomposites toughened with nanofibrillated rubber
Download2022-06-01
Zeidi, Mahdi, Kim, Chun Il, Park, Chul B.
In the present study, we investigate the roles of interface and interfiber interactions on the toughening and failure mechanisms of nanofibrillated rubber-toughened thermoplastic-based nanocomposites. Emphasis is placed on establishing a comprehensive theoretical and atomistic descriptions of the...
