Mussone, Paolo G., Bressler, David C., Khalil, Hamdy, Mekonnen, Tizazu H.
Over the coming few decades bioplastic materials are expected to complement and gradually replace some of the fossil oil based materials. Multidisciplinary research efforts have generated a significant level of technical and commercial success towards these bio-based materials. However, extensive...

Morphological characterization of fungi associated with the ascochyta blight complex and pathogenic variability of Mycosphaerella pinodes on field pea crops in central Alberta
Download2015
Gossen, Bruce, Strelkov, Stephen, Ahmed, Hafiz, Hwang, Sheau-Fang, Zhou, Qixing, Conner, Robert, Chang, Kan-Fan, Fu, Heting
Field pea crops in central Alberta were surveyed for ascochyta blight from 2011 to 2012 and fungal isolates were recovered from foliar lesions on selected plants. Cultural and microscopic characterization of the 275 isolates obtained revealed that 272 were of Mycosphaerella pinodes and three were...

Translating Knowledge: Promoting Health through Intergenerational Community Arts Programming
Download2016
Fast, Janet, Eales, Jacquie, Anderson, Sharon, Barnet, David, Chivers, Sally, Keating, Norah
Introduction. Intergenerational programs have been touted to address the generation gaps and isolation of older adults. Mutual contact alone has produced mixed results, but attention to the intergenerational program content demonstrates well-being benefits. This practice-based article examines...

Down-regulation of hypothalamic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) expression after weaning is associated with hyperphagia-induced obesity in JCR rats overexpressing neuropeptide Y
Download2013
Diane, Abdoulaye, Pierce, W. David, Richard, Denis, Heth, C. Donald, Proctor, Spencer D., Vine, Donna F., Russell, James C.
We hypothesised that hypothalamic feeding-related neuropeptides are differentially expressed in obese-prone and lean-prone rats and trigger overeating-induced obesity. To test this hypothesis, in the present study, we measured energy balance and hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (NPY) and...

INSL3 in the Ruminant: A Powerful Indicator of Gender- and Genetic-Specific Feto-Maternal Dialogue
Download2011
Viñoles, C., Hafen, B., Anand-Ivell, R., Martin, G. B., Eurich, A., Fitzsimmons, C., Hiendleder, S., Ivell, R.
The hormone Insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) is a major secretory product of the Leydig cells from both fetal and adult testes. Consequently, it is a major gender-specific circulating hormone in the male fetus, where it is responsible for the first phase of testicular descent, and in the adult...

Investigation into the effects of stainless steel ligature ties on the mechanical characteristics of conventional and self-ligated brackets subjected to torque
Download2014
Heo, Giseon, Nobes, David S., Al Fakir, Hussam, Major, Paul W., Melenka, Garrett W., Carey, Jason P.
Objective: Torque is applied to orthodontic brackets in order to alter the buccal-lingual angulation of a tooth. One factor that can affect torque is the ligation mode used to retain the archwire in the bracket slot. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of stainless steel...
