Elucidation of molecular mechanisms of physiological variations between bovine subcutaneous and visceral fat depots under different nutritional regimes
Download2013
Jin, Weiwu, He, Maolong, Guan, Leluo, Romao, Josue M., McAllister, Tim
Adipose tissue plays a critical role in energy homeostasis and metabolism. There is sparse understanding of the molecular regulation at the protein level of bovine adipose tissues, especially within different fat depots under different nutritional regimes. The objective of this study was to...

• While tracheid size of conifers is often a good proxy of water transport efficiency, correlations between conifer wood structure and transport safety remain poorly understood. It is hypothesized that at least some of the variation in bordered pit and tracheid structure is associated with both...

Emerging pathways in the regulation of whole body cholesterol flux: Therapeutic opportunities to target atherosclerosis?
Download2014
Mangat, Rabban, Proctor, Spencer D.
INTRODUCTION: CVD remains one of the most frequent causes of morbidity and mortality globally. Increased awareness of lifestyle factors (nutrition/exercise), as well as the refinement of lipid-lowering therapies, has availed some progress in reducing the incidence of CVD. Historically, the...

EMISSION MEASUREMENT OF UNIVERSITY FLEET VEHICLES THROUGH ON-ROAD REMOTE SENSING AND IDENTIFICATION OF HIGH NOx EMITTERS
Download2022-06-01
Abediasl, Hamidreza, Hosseini, Vahid, Koch, Charles Robert, Shahbakhti, Mahdi
Remote sensing emission measurement is a method to measure real driving emissions to identify high emitter vehicles. High NOx emitter vehicles are recognized among the selected 14 vehicles of the University of Alberta fleet. By combining remote sensing and on-board diagnostics (OBD) data, an...

Turkakin, Hava, Rankin, Robert, Mann, Ian R.
The emission of propagating MHD waves from the boundaries of flow channels that are unstable to the Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability (KHI) in magnetized plasma is investigated. The KHI and MHD wave emission are found to be two competing processes. It is shown that the fastest growing modes of the KHI...

The present experiment investigated the role of vocal affect in spoken word recognition. Participants performed an auditory lexical decision task with stimuli articulated by a professional male actor with different acoustic realizations of vocal affect (Angry, Neutral, and Joyful). In addition,...

Empirical estimation of R0 for unknown transmission functions: The case of chronic wasting disease in Alberta
Download2015-01-01
Potapov, Alex, Merrill, Evelyn, Pybus, Margo, Lewis, Mark A.
We consider the problem of estimating the basic reproduction number R0 from data on prevalence dynamics at the beginning of a disease outbreak. We derive discrete and continuous time models, some coefficients of which are to be fitted from data. We show that prevalence of the disease is...
