RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DIETARY FIBER STRUCTURAL FEATURES AND GROWTH AND UTILIZATION PATTERNS OF HUMAN GUT BACTERIA
Intake of dietary fiber is considered an essential strategy to influence gut microbiota, which is associated with many diet-related chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and inflammatory bowel diseases. In order to make a better choice of dietary fiber for a desired microbiota shift related …

MnO2 Nanoscale Interface Modification
<p>Interface modification of carbon fibers has been shown to improve the mechanical performance of composites. In addition, interface modification of carbon fiber composites can impart multifunctionality into the resulting composite. This work will explore ZnO and MnO2 as interface modifications …

Chlorhexidine Interaction with Microcrystalline Cellulose
… due to chemical interactions with cellulose fibers. Previous research has identified compounds such as Parachloroaniline (PCA), which contribute to both toxicity and fiber degradation. This study aims to further analyze the breakdown products of chlorhexidine and sodium hypochlorite using Gas …

Microwave-based Pretreatment, Pathogen Fate and Microbial Population in a Dairy Manure Treatment System
… of dairy manure is commonly limited by slow fiber degradation, while one of the limitations to struvite precipitation is the availability of orthophosphate. The aim of this work was to study the use of microwave-based thermochemical pretreatment to simultaneously enhance manure anaerobic …

Impact of dietary fiber and exogenous carbohydrases in weaned pigs
<p>Due to the potential benefits of dietary fiber on gut health, interest in the use of higher-fiber coproducts in weaned pig diets has been growing. Young pigs are not efficient at utilizing dietary fiber. To maximize the nutritional value of fibrous coproducts and mitigate their potential …

Comparative Gene-Centric Metagenomics of the Rumen Microbiome
… components essential for the breakdown of fiber-based feeds. The objectives of this research were to provide information pertaining to the physiological ecology of both of the rumen community and of specialist fiber-degraders. We proposed to use culture-independent metagenomic approaches …

Durability of Ceramic Matrix Composites at Elevated Temperatures: Experimental Studies and Predictive Modeling
… for unidirectional composites which incorporates fiber strength statistics, fiber degradation, and matrix damage was derived. The model is based on a micromechanical analysis of the stress state in a fiber near a matrix crack and includes the effects of fiber pullout and global load sharing from …
