Great bellies and boy actors: pregnancy plays on the Stuart stage, 1603-1642
… Middleton, and Heywood, to name a few. In “Great Bellies and Boy Actors,” I analyze all twenty-two extant—what I term—“pregnancy plays,” first performed between 1603 and 1642. The defining characteristic of this dramatic subgenre is a pregnancy or pregnant character that drives the action of a …

Hearts, Bellies, and the Hunger of Heroes: Intertraditional Agonistic Discourse between the Iliad and Odyssey
Within this thesis I argue that the Iliad and Odyssey, as representatives of sub-genres within the larger archaic Greek epic tradition, engage in a shared agonistic discourse with one another in order to demonstrate that the hero of each epic is superior to that of its competitor. In order to trace …

The Effect of a Low Sodium Curing Solution on Further Processed Hams and Bellies from Purebred Berkshire Pigs Fed a Step-up Ractopamine Feeding Program
… on processing characteristics of hams and bellies from purebred Berkshire pigs fed a step-up RAC feeding program or a negative control diet. The first study reported that RAC pigs when compared to control pigs had a carcass cutting yield advantage of 1.01 percentage units (74.70% vs. …

Effects of pelleting growing-finishing diets with distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and commercial bacon slicing yields of barrows and gilts
… a 24 h chill. Carcasses were fabricated and the bellies were collected for manufacture into bacon. Belly dimensions and flop distance were measured. A fat sample from each belly was collected for fatty acid analysis. Bacon was manufactured at a commercial processor and then returned to the …

Belly Experiences: An Autoethnographic Study of Women Sharing the Belly
… through an important physical attribute, their bellies. This project examines the physical belly experiences shared by women through their interpersonal relationships. A woman’s belly creates a safe haven for nine months of life, identifies her sexuality, has been artistically depicted, and …

Bacon Production: Evaluating Potential Processing and Management Practices to Improve Product Quality of Industrial Sliced Bacon
… or 7.4 ppm, for 21 or 28 d prior to harvest. Bellies were measured for length, thickness, firmness, processing yields, proximate analysis, and digitally imaged for exposed lean. RAC improved the exposed lean and did not alter the moisture or fat composition, sex had a large impact on all …

Effects of gonadotropin releasing factor immunological (Improvest®) on carcass characteristics, pork quality, and further processing characteristics of finishing male pigs
… males (2.85 cm) had the thinnest (P < 0.05) bellies of all treatment groups. There were no differences in belly thickness among IC males with the exception of the low/medium treatment group which was thicker (P < 0.05) than the other IC male treatment groups. In general, IC males had thinner …

Quantifying the influence of iodine value on pork quality
… to improve product composition and quality. Pork bellies (N=526) from pigs fed 3 diets with varying levels of predicted iodine value (IVP) were analyzed for bacon yield, fat shattering, slice distortion, shrink, fatty acid composition, iodine value (IV), and REIMS. Diets altered bacon yield, fatty …

Feeding high oleic soybean oil to growing-finishing pigs: effects on growth performance, carcass characteristics, loin quality, and bacon attributes
… acid reactive substance (TBARS). Fabricated bellies were collected for evaluation of fresh belly characteristics including length, width, thickness, and flop distance. Additionally, adipose tissue samples were collected for fatty acid analysis. Bellies were processed into bacon at the …

Evaluating fat quality and bacon slicing yields in immunologically castrated barrows
… and oily fat), especially that of the belly. Bellies with soft and oily fat produce bacon that is difficult to slice. In general, immunological castrated (IC) barrows were leaner, had thinner bellies with greater concentrations of UFA, greater iodine values (IV), and inferior bacon slicing …

Evaluating lipid oxidation and sensory characteristics in bacon from immunologically castrated barrows
… conditions of a normal production system, all bellies from immunological castrated (IC) barrows were pooled to compare bacon from IC barrows, regardless of management strategy, to physical castrated (PC) barrows and gilts for the same traits. Bellies (N=129) from two slaughter dates were …

The effects of feeding canola meal from high protein or conventional varieties of canola seeds on pork quality
… acids (PUFA), which could lead to soft, thin bellies and complications during bacon processing. Research has been conducted at the University of Illinois to determine the effects of conventional (CM-CV) or high protein (CM-HP) canola meal diets for nursery pigs, although no research has been …

Effects of feeding ractopamine (Paylean®) to immunologically castrated (Improvest®) pigs on growth performance, carcass yields, and further processing characteristics
… where RAC increased leanness of cured hams and bellies from PC carcasses while having no impact on hams and bellies from IC carcasses. Over the entire growth study (120 d), IC pigs gained 2.6% faster, consumed 4.6% less feed, and were ultimately 7.3% more feed efficient than PC pigs. While …

Regulation of skeletal muscle growth and gene expression by insulin-like growth factors and myostatin
… green weight was 1.57 percentage units between bellies from APat pigs (85.83%) and bellies from GPat pigs (87.40%). Therefore, while APat pigs yielded a greater amount of lean product, this may have been at the expense of reduced bacon slicing yields. Our next objectives were to determine the …

heirlooms in search of the fifth ecology
… by themselves, by wind, by ocean current, in the bellies of animals, or by ballistic dispersal, they must now be supported by new heirloom seed practices. Therefore, urban centers, once removed from the life-cycle of the seed, are reintroduced as the site of an urban food culture. Told through a …

The effects of dietary soy isoflavone supplementation on carcass cutability and meat quality of pigs infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus
… (P = 0.51) among treatments after 14 d of aging. Bellies from CON pigs were more firm (P < 0.01) compared with bellies from PRRSV-CON and ISF pigs. These data suggest PRRSV infection and soy isoflavone supplementation do not alter carcass characteristics but infection may marginally reduce loin …

Feeding peroxidized soybean oil to finishing pigs: Effects on performance, nutrient digestibility, carcass characteristics, and the shelf-life of loin chops and commercially manufactured bacon
… and 10 d. On d 83 carcasses were fabricated and bellies collected for recording of weight, dimensions, and flop distance. Belly adipose tissue cores were collected for analysis of iodine value (IV) by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR-IV). Bacon was manufactured at a commercial processing facility …
