Enhancing the functionality of delactosed whey by enzymatic hydrolysis using Response Surface Methodology Approach (RSM)
Delactosed whey (DLW), which has ~24% protein, is a by-product of lactose production and is mostly used as animal feed. DLW applications can be expanded to include food products, and its economic value improved by amplifying its protein functionality. Moderate enzymatic hydrolysis can significantly …

Estimating the Cost of Locomotion in Common Bottlenose Dolphins: Calibration, Validation, and Application to Study the Impacts of Disturbance
… of caloric intake and the doubly labeled water (DLW) method. Calibration studies will help us to better understand how best to estimate energy expenditure from activity measurements. In my dissertation, I ask whether short-term increases in activity caused by disturbance may impact marine mammal …

Disease-related malnutrition: Energy balance, body composition and functional capacity in patients on oral nutritional support after major upper gastrointestinal surgery.
… energy expenditure (TEE, doubly-labelled water DLW). Body composition and energy stores were measured with dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) from which total body skeletal muscle mass (TBSMM) could be calculated. Functional capacity was determined as maximal exercise capacity with a …

Quantifcation of Physical Loading, Energy Intake and Expenditure In English Premier League Soccer Players
… the quantification of EI and EE (using DLW) also provides the first report of EE in elite soccer players from the English Premier League. When taken together, these data therefore provide a theoretical framework for soccer-specific nutritional guidelines especially in relation to the …

Diet and/or exercise treatment for weight loss in overweight and obese women after childbirth
AIM: The aim of the research presented in this thesis was to evaluate whether, dietary behavior modification treatment (D), or physical exercise behavior modification treatment (E), or the combination of both (DE), provide short and long-term weight loss compared to control (C) among overweight and …
