A multi-scale test of the forage maturation hypothesis in a partially migratory ungulate population
Download2008
McDermid, G., Hebblewhite, M., Merrill, E.
The forage maturation hypothesis (FMH) proposes that ungulate migration is driven by selection for high forage quality. Because quality declines with plant maturation, but intake declines at low biomass, ungulates are predicted to select for intermediate forage biomass to maximize energy intake...

Ripari, Valery, Gänzle, Michael G.
Sourdough has traditionally been used as leavening agent in artisanal baking. The production of baked and steamed cereal products increasingly employs sourdough as baking improver to achieve improved bread quality, or to obtain “clean label” products. Sourdoughs are maintained in bakeries by...

Coordinated international action to accelerate genome-to-phenome with FAANG, the Functional Annotation of Animal Genomes project
Download2015
Tosser-Klopp, G., Zhou, H., Palti, Y., Nanduri, B., Tixier-Boichard, M., Silverstein, J., Plastow, G. S., Sarropoulou, E., Brauning, R., Zhao, S., Rohrer, G. A., Elsik, C. G., Cheng, H.

K., Casas, E.
We describe the organization of a nascent international effort, the Functional Annotation of Animal Genomes (FAANG) project, whose aim is to produce comprehensive maps of functional elements in the genomes of domesticated animal species.

Copresentation of antigen and ligands of Siglec-G induces B cell tolerance independent of CD22
2013
Pfrengle, F., Kawasaki, N., Paulson, J. C. , Macauley, M. S.
Differentiation of self from nonself is indispensable for maintaining B cell tolerance in peripheral tissues. CD22 and Siglec-G (sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin G) are two inhibitory coreceptors of the BCR that are implicated in maintenance of tolerance to self Ags. Enforced ligation of CD22...

Decision Support System (DSS) for selecting sustainable insulation material using Pareto Search and Novel fuzzy modified TOPSIS approach
DownloadFall 2021
This research developed a Decision Support System (DSS) to aid decision-makers in selecting the most sustainable insulation materials and their thickness among commercially available alternatives. The developed DSS ranks available alternatives according to individual project cases by...

Effects of Habitat Fragmentation on Pairing Success of Ovenbirds: Importance of Male Age and Floater Behavior
Download2001
Bayne, Erin M., Hobson, Keith A.
Between 1996 and 1998, we compared pairing success of territorial male Ovenbirds (Seiurus aurocapillus) in forest fragments created by forestry (n 5 3) and agriculture (n 5 10) to contiguous forest plots (n 5 3) in the southern boreal mixedwood forest of central Saskatchewan. The percentage of...

Evolution of sourdough microbiota in spontaneous sourdoughs started with different plant materials
Download2016-01-01
Ripari, Valery, Gänzle, Michael G., Berardi, Enrico
The preparation of sourdough in bakeries may include the use of inocula, e.g. fruits, flowers or rumen cuts to accelerate the process of selection of suitable microorganisms. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of these inocula on the microbial evolution in sourdoughs. First, the...

Introgression potential between safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) and wild relatives of the genus Carthamus
Download2011
Christianson, Jed, Mayerhofer, Marion, Topinka, Deborah, Good, Allen G., Mayerhofer, Reinhold
Background: Safflower, Carthamus tinctorius, is a thistle that is grown commercially for the production of oil and birdseed and recently, as a host for the production of transgenic pharmaceutical proteins. C. tinctorius can cross with a number of its wild relatives, creating the possibility of...
