Alterations of innate immunity reactants in transition dairy cows before clinical signs of lameness
Download2015
Dervishi, Elda, Hailemariam, Dagnachew, Zhang, Guanshi, Goldansaz, Seyed A., Deng, Qilan, Dunn, Suzanna M., Ametaj, Burim N.
The objectives of this study were to evaluate metabolic and innate immunity alterations in the blood of transition dairy cows before, during, and after diagnosis of lameness during periparturient period. Blood samples were collected from the coccygeal vain once per week before morning feeding...

Tikhonchuk, V. T., Voronkov, I., Samson, J. C., Rankin, Robert
A model is presented that describes the excitation of density perturbations and parallel electric fields by standing shear Alfven waves on dipole fields in Earth's magnetosphere. The model includes the effects of electron inertia and gyro-kinetic dispersion, accounting for field-aligned...

Langmuir amplitude modulations and harmonic waves, generated by solar wind electron beams, are commonly observed in type III solar radio bursts. Various mechanisms have been proposed for the origin of these waves, but there is still ongoing debate on how the observation of continuous type III...

Comparison of 2 enzyme immunoassays and a radioimmunoassay for measurement of progesterone concentrations in bovine plasma, skim milk, and whole milk
Download2008
Kastelic, John P., Small, Julie A., Ambrose, Divakar J., Colazo, Marcos G.
The objective of this study was to compare 2 enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) with a radioimmunoassay (RIA) as to sensitivity and accuracy in the measurement of the progesterone (P4) concentration in bovine plasma, skim milk, and whole milk. The 72 samples from 24 lactating dairy cows expected to have...

Deformation and evolution of solar wind discontinuities through their interactions with the Earth's bow shock
Download2009
Kabin, Konstantin, Keika, Kunihiro, Rankin, Robert, Carr, C. M., Carlson, C. W., Glassmeier, Karl-Heinz, Magnes, Werner, Lucek, Elizabeth, McFadden, J. P., Dandouras, Iannis, Auster, H. U., Sibeck, D. G., Fornacon, K.-H., Angelopoulos, Vassilis, Baumjohann, W., Nakamura, Rumi
The present study examines the interaction of solar wind discontinuities with the Earth's bow shock, using multipoint observations in the magnetosheath by Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions During Substorms (THEMIS), Cluster, and Double Star TC1. We focus on the deformation and...

Development of Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry Methods for the Identification and Quantification of Acylcarnitines in Biological Samples
DownloadFall 2012
The field of metabolomics follows the Greek premise where metabolic changes are believed to be indicative of disease. Acylcarnitines, for example, can be dysregulated in the presence of various diseases including genetic metabolic disorders and multiple sclerosis. Liquid chromatography mass...

Differences in whole blood gene expression associated with infection time-course and extent of fetal mortality in a reproductive model of type 2 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection
Download2016
Ladinig, Andrea, Stothard, Paul, Wilkinson, Jamie M., Kommadath, Arun, Plastow, Graham S., Harding, John C. S., Bao, Hua, Lunney, Joan K.
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) infection of pregnant females causes fetal death and increased piglet mortality, but there is substantial variation in the extent of reproductive pathology between individual dams. This study used RNA-sequencing to characterize the whole...

Spence, Harlan, Reeves, Geoffrey D., Zhou, X. Z., Fu, Suiyan, Yuan, C. J., Lui, A. T. Y., Blake, J. B., Rankin, Robert, Hao, Yixin, Baker, D. N., Zong, Qiugang
On 23 November 2012, a sudden dropout of the relativistic electron flux was observed after an interplanetary shock arrival. The dropout peaks at ∼1 MeV and more than 80% of the electrons disappeared from the drift shell. Van Allen twin Probes observed a sharp electron flux dropout with clear...

Identification of a novel lipase gene mutated in lpd mice with hypertriglyceridemia and associated with dyslipidemia in humans
Download2003-05-13
Wen, Xiao-Yan, Hegele, Robert A., Wang, Jian, Wang, Ding Yan, Cheung, Joseph, Wilson, Michael, Yahyapour, Maryam, Bai, Yahong, Zhuang, Lihua, Skaug, Jennifer, Young, T. Kue, Connelly, Philip W., Koop, Ben F., Tsui, Lap-Chee, Stewart, A. Keith
"Triglyceride (TG) metabolism is crucial for whole body and local energy homeostasis and accumulating evidence suggests an independent association between plasma TG concentration and increased atherosclerosis risk. We previously generated a mouse insertional mutation lpd (lipid defect) whose...

Increasing gene discovery and coverage using RNA-seq of globin RNA reduced porcine blood samples
Download2014
Stothard, P., Fritz-Waters, E., Choi, I., Abrams, S. M., Kommadath, A., Hosseini, A., Plastow, G. S., Guan, L. L., Tuggle, C. K., Bao, H., Meng, Y., Lunney, J. K., Reecy, J. M., Sun, X.
Background Transcriptome analysis of porcine whole blood has several applications, which include deciphering genetic mechanisms for host responses to viral infection and vaccination. The abundance of alpha- and beta-globin transcripts in blood, however, impedes the ability to cost-effectively...
