Review On Ice Crystal Shape And Assisted Freezing Methods Of Quick-Frozen Food, Chen Cong, Yang Dazhang, Xie Jing

Food and Machinery

In this paper, the food quick-freezing technology, the shape of ice crystal at different freezing rates and methods for observing ice crystals are described. The research progress of pressure-assisted freezing, electrostatic-assisted freezing and magnetic-assisted freezing in recent years is reviewed. The direct method can directly observe the ice crystal formed during the freezing process. The indirect method analyzes the ice crystal characteristics by observing the gap left by the ice crystal in the food after freezing. Pressure-assisted freezing can improve the super-cooling degree. When the pressure is released, the ice crystals formed by instantaneous freezing are fine and evenly distributed. …

Food and Machinery

Forty male C57BL/6 mice aged 4 weeks were selected and randomly divided into 4 groups. Mice in control groups drank normal water, while those in the experimental groups were treated 1.0% α-ketoglutarate acid (group Ⅰ), or 1.8% leucine (group Ⅱ), or 1.8% leucine and 1.0% α-ketoglutarate acid (group Ⅲ) via drinking water. The experimental lasted 35 days. The results showed as follows: ① The growth performance of group Ⅲ was 8.7%, 10.1%, and 10.4% lower than that of the groups control,ⅠandⅡ, respectively； ② Serum albumin in group Ⅲ was significantly higher than that of the groups control,ⅠandⅡ(P<0.05)； ③ The cardiac index of group Ⅲ increased by 19.3%, 13.6%, and 15.2%, respectively, compared with groups control,ⅠandⅡ； ④ The abdominal fat index of group Ⅲ was 24.1%, 10.0%, and 6.7% lower than that of groups control,ⅠandⅡ, the cross-sectional area of the gastrocnemius muscle of group Ⅲ was 46.9%, 20.2%, 27.9% higher than that of groups control,ⅠandⅡ, respectively. In summary, the combination of leucine and α-ketoglutaric acid can reduce the body weight of mice, strengthen the use of fat by organs, and increase the cross-sectional area of gastrocnemius muscle fibers.

Development And Testing Of A Text Messaging Educational Intervention For Pregnant Adolescents, Rhonda R. Martin

The Relationship Between Recurrent Placental Pathology And Recurrent Poor Pregnancy Outcome, Cara Krulewitch

Dissertations

Poor pregnancy outcome (PPO) is a top agenda item in health and political arenas. Most prominent PPOs are low birth weight (LBW) and preterm delivery (PTD). Effective interventions to maximize pregnancy outcome will diminish their negative impact. The placenta is a diary of the infant's prenatal experiences. Changes in the placenta provide clues to the uterine environment during the pregnancy. Each placental pathology represents a different insult, including severity, duration and type. The Collaborative Perinatal Project of the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke was a longitudinal study of obstetric outcomes in women. The study was conducted …

Effects Of Obesity And Fall Risk On Gait And Posture Of Community-Dwelling Older Adults, Thurmon E. Lockhart, Christopher W. Frames, Rahul Soangra, Abraham Lieberman

Physical Therapy Faculty Articles and Research

Epidemiological studies link increased fall risk to obesity in older adults, but the mechanism through which obesity increases falls and fall risks is unknown. This study investigates if obesity (Body Mass Index: BMI>30 kg/m2) influenced gait and standing postural characteristics of community dwelling older adults leading to increased risk of falls. One hundred healthy older adults (age 74.0±7.6 years, range of 56-90 years) living independently in a community participated in this study. Participants’ history of falls over the previous two years was recorded, with emphasis on frequency and characteristics of falls. Participants with at least two falls in the …

Wavelet-Based Analysis Of Physical Activity And Sleep Movement Data From Wearable Sensors Among Obese Adults, Rahul Soangra, Vennila Krishnan

Physical Therapy Faculty Articles and Research

Decreased physical activity in obese individuals is associated with a prevalence of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. Physicians usually recommend that obese individuals change their lifestyle, specifically changes in diet, exercise, and other physical activities for obesity management. Therefore, understanding physical activity and sleep behavior is an essential aspect of obesity management. With innovations in mobile and electronic health care technologies, wearable inertial sensors have been used extensively over the past decade for monitoring human activities. Despite significant progress with the wearable inertial sensing technology, there is a knowledge gap among researchers regarding how to analyze longitudinal multi-day inertial sensor data …

Language Nutrition For Language Health In Children With Disorders: A Scoping Review, Janet Y. Bang, Aubrey S. Adiao, Virginia A. Marchman, Heidi M. Feldman

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

The quantity and quality of child-directed speech—language nutrition—provided to typically-developing children is associated with language outcomes—language health. Limited information is available about child-directed speech to children at biological risk of language impairments. We conducted a scoping review on caregiver child-directed speech for children with three clinical conditions associated with language impairments—preterm birth, intellectual disability, and autism—addressing three questions: (1) How does child-directed speech to these children differ from speech to typically-developing children? (2) What are the associations between child-directed speech and child language outcomes? (3) How convincing are intervention studies that aim to improve child-directed speech and thereby facilitate children’s …

Effectiveness Of Three Foodservice Equipment Training Interventions For Food And Nutrition Students, Tiffan C. Frieson, Katie R. Miner, Robert Haggerty, Katie Nicole Brown

Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Sciences Faculty Publications

This study evaluated students’ (N = 65) reported knowledge, competence, and comfort in using foodservice equipment, as well as confidence in training others after completing one of the following interventions: 1) two food/nutrition courses, and foodservice supervised practice rotations, 2) equipment introduction, and competency exam, and 3) equipment training, practice lab, and competency exam. Foodservice operations and dietetics programs should consider implementing Intervention 3 because there was a significant increase in knowledge, competence, comfort, and confidence using equipment from pre- to post-intervention, it yielded the highest post-intervention scores, and most students received >86% for their actual skill.
