Age-associated changes to calcium handling proteins across the whole heart
Age is a major risk factor for the development of cardiac problems. The ageing process causes significant changes to cardiac structure and function. These are linked with the elderly heart’s diminished ability to respond to cardiac demand and associated with the increased frequency of myocardial …

Effect of Ca and pH on Disease Severity of Pink Rot Phytophthora erythroseptica in Russett Norkotah Potato Solanum tuberosum
Phytophthora erythroseptica Pethyb. is a devastating fungal pathogen of potato (Solanum tuberosum). The pathogen causes a disease known as pink rot. Pink rot results in necrosis and decay of tubers; and is responsible for major losses pre and post harvest. Attributes of the disease are progressing …

Effect of restricted growth rate and elevated levels of minerals and vitamins on feet and leg characteristics, soundness scores and metacarpal and metatarsal characteristics of growing boars
… of foot lesions, soundness scores and metacarpal and metatarsal characteristics of growing boars was studied. Boars assigned to the dietary treatments at 5 wk of age were serially necropsied beginning at 120 d of age. Foot and leg characterization was carried out at four periods (35, 122, …

New approaches to casting hypereutectic Al-Si alloys to achieve simultaneous refinement of primary silicon and modification of eutectic silicon
… Al-Si alloys are of increasing interest for applications that require a combination of light weight and high wear resistance, such as pistons, liner-less engine blocks and pumps. The wear resistance of this class of alloys is due to the presence of hard primary Si particles formed during casting. …

Chemical, physical and mineralogical properties associated with the hardening of some South African fly ashes
… generation is relied on heavily in South Africa. The main residue from the combustion process is fly ash, with about 22 million tons being produced in 1994, of which only about 1 million tons is utilised, the remainder requiring disposal as waste. Various environmental impacts are associated …

Using simulation and lab validation to develop a MnCO3 Recovery Process using CO2
Manganese (Mn) is a critical metal in the production of lithium-ion battery (LiB) precursors due to its role in improving safety, stability and promoting higher efficiency and faster charging of LiBs. Battery-grade Mn or High Purity Manganese Sulphate Monohydrate (HPMSM, MnSO4·H2O), a key LiB …

Petrologic and Fluid Inclusion Constraints on the Tectonic Evolution of the Manhattan Prong, Southeastern New York
… of fluid inclusions in garnet porphyroblasts indicates that the regional metamorphic assemblage has been completely modified by the contact effects of the mafic intrusions. However, the presence of Ky+Sta along with the slight compositional zoning of garnets in Peach Lake samples suggests that the …

Nutritional evaluation of conventional, high protein, reduced fiber, and reduced phosphorus corn co-products for poultry
… contained a higher (P < 0.05) TMEn of 3,556 kcal/kg DM compared with 2,767 kcal/kg for conventional DDGS. Standardized AA digestibility of CFP was high and the mean digestibility of all AA ranged from 89% to 94% among samples. Digestible AA concentrations were increased substantially for CFP; …

Petrology of the Taconian-Acadian Overlap Zone, Hartland Belt, Western Connecticut
Cameron's Line in western Connecticut and its equivalents in western Massachusetts and Vermont mark a major tectonic boundary in the New England Appalachians and are considered by many to delineate the trace of the Taconian suture zone. The Cambro-Ordovician Ratlum Mountain and Rowe Formations lie …

Calcium and Phosphorus Metabolism in Jersey and Holstein Cows During Early Lactation
… this dissertation was to assess the dynamics of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) metabolism in dairy cattle. Hypocalcemia, or a drop in blood Ca, is a common condition near parturition. All cows experience some degree of hypocalcemia. Maintenance of blood Ca within the acceptable range of 8 to 10 …
