Fall 2016
“Blown-pack” spoilage of beef by psychrotrophic Clostridium spp. occurs sporadically and resistance of the endospores to most interventions makes them very difficult to control. Current interventions used to control spoilage and pathogenic bacteria, such as acid washes and heat treatments, do...

An assessment of the fumigant metam sodium and a Brassica juncea-derived biofumigant as management tools for clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) of canola (Brassica napus)
DownloadFall 2016
Clubroot of crucifers, caused by the soilborne parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae, is spreading across canola (Brassica napus) fields in Alberta, Canada. Dissemination of the parasite is associated with the movement of infested soil on farm and other machinery, with the disease generally...

Fall 2016
Antemortem identification of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) patients is initially based upon clinical presentation of the disease. Symptoms are assessed in combination with results from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and...

Fall 2016
Bacterial pathogens are responsible for a number of infectious diseases affecting humans and animals. Peptide based antimicrobial interventions may be an effective means to control pathogens. Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica are foodborne pathogens that are commonly...

Assessment of the effectiveness of the Physical Activity and Nutrition for Diabetes in Alberta (PANDA) nutrition intervention for type 2 diabetes patients
DownloadSpring 2016
Type 2 diabetes patients often find integrating a new dietary pattern into their lifestyle challenging; therefore, the PANDA (Physical Activity and Nutrition for Diabetes in Alberta) nutrition intervention was developed to help people incorporate the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) nutrition...

Broadening of genetic diversity in spring canola (Brassica napus L.) by use of the C genome of Brassica oleracea var. italica and Brassica oleracea var. capitata
DownloadSpring 2016
Spring canola Brassica napus L. (AACC, 2n = 38) is one of the major crops in Canada. A decline in genetic diversity in breeding populations is a threat for continued improvement of this crop from a long-term perspective. Genetic diversity in Canadian spring B. napus canola can be broadened...

Calcium and Vitamin D Intake During Pregnancy and Postpartum in the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition (APrON) Study
DownloadFall 2016
Calcium and vitamin D are important in maintaining a healthy pregnancy. Low intake/status has been associated with preeclampsia, preterm delivery, lower birth weight, poor fetal skeletal growth, reduced bone mass, and excessive maternal bone loss. Rarely have these nutrients been examined...

Contribution of glutaminase activity in Lactobacillus reuteri to acid resistance and glutamine metabolism in sourdough
DownloadFall 2016
Sourdough is used as an additive in bread production for proper dough volume (leavening), or for desired dough acidity, or for dough texture and bread flavor improvement, or for bread shelf life extension. Lactobacillus reuteri, an intestinal isolate and a stable member of sourdough, prevails in...

Contribution of the Rumen Epithelial Transcriptome and Microbial Community to Variation in Beef Cattle Feed Efficiency
DownloadSpring 2016
Feed efficient cattle consume less feed and produce less environmental waste than inefficient cattle. Many factors are known to contribute to differences in feed efficiency. However, it is unknown how the rumen epithelium and its associated microorganisms influence the feed efficiency of cattle....

Spring 2016
Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a pathogen that causes severe disease in humans and has a low infectious dose. Since foodborne EHEC outbreaks continue to be a problem worldwide, improved control and detection methods for EHEC on at-risk foods, such as spinach and beef, are...
