Ovarian and endocrine responses associated with the treatment of cystic ovarian follicles in dairy cows with gonadotropin releasing hormone and prostaglandin F2alpha, with or without exogenous progesterone
Download2004
Schmitt, Eric J. -P., Mattos, Ricardo C., Ambrose, Divakar J., Thatcher, William W., Lopes, Flavia L.
The objectives of this observational study were to document ovarian and endocrine responses associated with the treatment of cystic ovarian follicles (COFs) in dairy cows, using gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) and prostaglandin F2α(PGF) with or without exogenous progesterone. A secondary...

Pathologic Evaluation of Type 2 PorcineReproductive and Respiratory SyndromeVirus Infection at the Maternal-FetalInterface of Late Gestation Pregnant Gilts
Download2016-03-10
Novakovic, Predrag, Harding, John C. S., Al-Dissi, Ahmad, Ladinig, Andrea, Detmer, Susan E.
The pathogenesis of fetal death caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndromevirus (PRRSV) remains unclear. The objective of this study was to improve our understand-ing of the pathogenesis by assessing potential relationships between specific histopatho-logical lesions and PRRSV RNA...

Physiological responses of glycophytic and halophytic grasses Poa pratensis, Poa juncifolia, and Puccinellia nuttalliana to salt stress
DownloadFall 2017
Responses of two halophytic grasses Puccinellia nuttalliana and Poa juncifolia to treatments with NaCl were compared with the glycophytic grass Poa pratensis to better understand salt tolerance mechanisms in these plants. The experiments were carried out under controlled-environment conditions...

Population-level responses of fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) to alarm substances and predator odour
DownloadSpring 2010
Alarm substances, released by injured prey, and odours from predators, such as northern pike, are chemical cues associated with increased predation risk in aquatic ecosystems. In laboratory studies, individual prey can respond to the presence of such cues by reducing conspicuous behaviours, such...

Posterior Cranial Base Growth and Development Changes as Assessed Through CBCT Imaging in Adolescents
DownloadFall 2017
Introduction: Understanding craniofacial growth and development is important for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning and post treatment evaluation of orthodontic cases. Paramount to this is knowledge of the cranial base growth and development, since it is the foundation upon which the...

Relationship of human tongue volume with inter-dental maxillary and mandibular arch width, palatal axial cross-sectional perimeter, palatal index and root axial inclination
DownloadFall 2010
Objective : To determine the relationship of tongue volume as determined from Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan reconstructions with maxillary and mandibular arch width, axial cross-sectional palatal perimeter, palatal index and axial inclination of upper and lower first premolars and...

Resources and Reproductive Trade-offs Affect Fitness, Life History Traits, and Sexual Selection in Red Squirrels
DownloadSpring 2017
Animals face trade-offs throughout life between competing functions, such as between self-maintenance, reproduction, and survival. Resource allocation between these competing functions leads to different patterns of life history traits, changes in investment in reproductive effort, and different...

Responses to n-3 fatty acid (LCPUFA) supplementation of gestating gilts, and lactating and weaned sows
Download2012
Smit, M. N., Patterson, Jennifer L., Spencer, Joel D., Dixon, Walter T., Dyck, Michael K., Foxcroft, George R., Cameron, Ashley C., Webel, Stephen K.
Feeding n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) to gilts or sows has shown different responses to litter growth, pre-weaning mortality and subsequent reproductive performance of the sow. Two hypotheses were tested: (1) that feeding a marine oil-based supplement rich in protected n-3...

Rising from the ashes; an unanticipated failure with the engorgement factor voraxin leads to advances in three areas of tick biology: Developmental abnormalities and parthenogenesis, identification of a Coxiella-like symbiont and the molecular characterization of vitellogenesis in the southern African bont tick, Amblyomma hebraeum Koch (1844)
DownloadFall 2012
Weiss and Kaufman (2004, PNAS 101: 5874-5879) demonstrated that injections of fed male gonad homogenates stimulate engorgement in virgin female Amblyomma hebraeum ticks, due to the presence of the engorgement factor voraxin. They also showed voraxin's potential as part of an anti-tick vaccine:...
