Two High-Amylose Maize Starches With Different Amounts Of Resistant Starch Vary In Their Effects On Fermentation, Tissue And Digesta Mass Accretion, And Bacterial Populations In The Large Bowel Of Pigs, Anthony R. Bird, Michelle Vuaran, Ian L. Brown, David L. Topping Jan 2007

Four groups of young pigs (n 6) were fed a diet containing 50 % maize starch as either a highly digestible waxy starch (control; 0 % amylose) or one of three resistant starch (RS) diets, namely a high-amylose maize starch (HAMS; 85 % amylose), this starch subjected to hydrothermal treatment (HTHAMS; 85 % amylose), or a blend of HAMS and HTHAMS included in equal amounts, for 21 d. Food intake and live weight at the end of the study were similar among the four groups. Ileal starch digestibility was lower in pigs fed the three RS diets but was …


Reef Development At High-Latitudes During Multiple Interglacial Cycles: New Evidence From Lord Howe Island, Southwestern Pacific, David Kennedy, Colin D. Woodroffe, J -X Zhao Jan 2007

Reef Development At High-Latitudes During Multiple Interglacial Cycles: New Evidence From Lord Howe Island, Southwestern Pacific, David Kennedy, Colin D. Woodroffe, J -X Zhao

Reef development during past Interglacial periods, when sea level and sea surface temperatures were higher than today, provide unique insights into how reef systems may respond to projected human-induced global warming. Lord Howe Island currently represents the southernmost limit of reef development in the Pacific. Reef growth of Pleistocene age has been inferred to have occurred around the island, and this paper provides the fi rst detailed descriptions on the character of this development. Two phases of reef growth are identifi ed, which occurred as isolated fringing reefs along the edge of the basaltic hills of the island. Uranium-series dating …


Anisotropic Atomic Motions In High-Resolution Protein Crystallography Molecular Dynamics Simulations, Conrad J. Burden, Aaron J. Oakley Jan 2007

Anisotropic Atomic Motions In High-Resolution Protein Crystallography Molecular Dynamics Simulations, Conrad J. Burden, Aaron J. Oakley

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using empirical force fields are popular for the study of proteins. In this work, we compare anisotropic atomic fluctuations in nanosecond-timescale MD simulations with those observed in an ultra-high-resolution crystal structure of crambin. In order to make our comparisons, we have developed a compact graphical technique for assessing agreement between spatial atomic distributions determined by MD simulations and observed anisotropic temperature factors.
