Genetic and functional investigation of sequence variation associated with the related phenotypes: birth weight, obesity, and type 2 diabetes (T2D)
… There is evidence of a connection between birth weight and the subsequent risk of obesity and T2D in adulthood, with several T2D susceptibility loci reported to be associated with fetal birth weight, including the leptin receptor gene (LEPR). Aims: To ascertain if maternal candidate loci …

Effects of Ractopamine and Muscle Fiber Number on Swine Growth Performance, Carcass Traits, and Meat Quality
… by varying muscle fiber number and birth weight. The swine industry is under increasing pressure to maximize efficiency, profitability, and lean meat production. Advances in nutrition, genetics, and general livestock management have enabled producers to increase their efficiency. Increased …

Studies of pig social groupings
… in growing pigs by creating large within-pen weight variation via dynamic grouping was of particular interest. Time spent fighting by newly regrouped pigs in dynamic pens was reduced by more than 50% as compared to the levels recorded in static groups. However, the number of fights was three …

The impact of undernutrition on tuberculosis prevalence and treatment outcomes in Ethiopia
… the impacts of undernutrition or failure to gain weight during follow-up on treatment outcomes among patients with TB and MDR-TB in Ethiopia. Furthermore, there was insufficient conclusive evidence to measure the effects of nutritional intervention on improving adherence to TB treatment and …

Preparation And Evaluation Of Valacyclovir Hydrochloride Ocular Inserts By Hot Melt Extrusion Technique
… Ocular inserts were evaluated for drug content, weight variation, uniformity of thickness and in vitro and in vivo drug release. The thermal characterization of ocular inserts was observed using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Morphology of the ocular inserts was observed using Scanning …

Labeling Compliance, Species Authentication and Net Weight Identification of Frozen Fish Fillets Sold in Grocery Stores in Southern California
… use of acceptable market names, net weights, and percent glaze. A total of 111 frozen fish fillets from 13 different fish categories were purchased from grocery stores in Southern California. The fish categories targeted for this study were: catfish, cod, flounder, halibut, mahi-mahi …

The effect of water quality, acidification, and zinc source on growth performance of nursery and finishing pigs
… of zinc sources on growth performance and body weight variation of grow-finish pigs, 2) evaluating water characteristics and their effects on reducing water pH using citric acid, and 3) evaluating the effect of dietary ABC-4 formulation strategy, water source, and water acidification on the …

Development of paediatric dosage forms of furosemide using the problem structuring method of morphological analysis
… were performed and this involved testing for weight variation, hardness assessment, friability, in vitro disintegration, wetting time, drug content analysis, dissolution time and stability of ODMTs under ICH conditions. The optimum composition of furosemide ODMT was found to be (ludiflash …

Microsatellite polymorphism, orthologous evolution and molecular marker analysis of seed quality traits in soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.)
In this study we assayed the extent of genetic variation for five microsatellites in 94 accessions of wild (Glycine soja) and cultivated soybean (G. max). F₂ segregation analysis indicated that all five of the microsatellites were independently inherited and four loci were located in four …

Modelling of dosator filling and discharge
… line equipment. Typical problems include variation in potency and manufacturing dose weight – both being issues that can be difficult to predict and counter (especially where mainly the manufacturing process is undertaken on a batch basis). Many manufacturing problems can be traced back to …

Methods to reduce rectal temperature decline of newborn piglets and the effect of cross-fostering strategies on piglet pre-weaning growth and mortality
… decades. As a result, average piglet birth weight has decreased, and the number of low birth weight piglets (i.e., < 1 kg) has increased. Lower birth weight piglets have higher levels of mortality, particularly associated with hypothermia and starvation. Larger litters often exceed the …

Implementing process analytical technology (PAT) tools for the analysis and control of manufacturing processes during hot-melt extrusion
… sorbitol and xylitol were extruded at various weight ratios to produce sugar cocrystals. In-line NIR, employed for process monitoring, showed that cocrystal formation occurred by the formation of H-bonds. The extruded materials were compressed into orally disintegrating tablets and compared …
