Adhesives are in general chemically or physically sticky substances used to join surfaces. In case of gluing biological and living substrates, there is a need for bioadhesives that meet requirements such as biocompatibility, non-toxicity, degradability. Inspiration found nature, where distinct mussels, sandcastle worms, barnacles, caddisfly larvae, spiders, glowworms amongst others, use mainly ...

The feasibility of unconventional feed for ruminants must be analyzed appropriate use as sources energy or protein that contribute to a sustainable production system addressing concerns about climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, and food security. objective this study was evaluate the nutritive value by-products including bean residue (BR), straw (BS), cassava bagasse (CB), corn (CS), oran...

Use of wheat (Triticum aestivum) flour milling coproducts (WFM) in pig diets may ameliorate high feed cost. However, digestibility of WFM is lower than feed grains, and limited information exists about their fermentation characteristics. In vitro degradation and fermentation characteristics of 6 WFM samples (2 Shorts, 2 Millrun, middlings, and bran) with varying fiber and protein contents were ...

The in sacco dry matter (DM) degradability of diets based on maize stover harvested at three stages of maturity and supplemented with graded levels of desmodium (Desmodium intortum cv. Greenleaf) hay were estimated from degradability of the individual feeds and their corresponding DM intake. The estimated DM degradability of the diets was used for prediction of DM intake (DMI), digestible DM in...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive form of primary brain tumor with median survival of 12 months. To improve clinical outcomes, it is critical to develop in vitro models that support GBM proliferation and invasion for deciphering tumor progression and screening drug candidates. A key hallmark of GBM cells is their extreme invasiveness, a process mediated by matrix metalloprote...

resistance of microencapsulated fish oil (mfo) in the rumen and its effects on fermentability of nutrients in the rumen was studied in 3 experiments. the key parameter in these studies was the amount of oil released from the microcapsules and their effects on gas production and rumen degradability in comparison with unprotected fish oil (fo). in the first experiment the effect of rumen and abom...

The comparison of organolanthanide complexes, (C5Me5)2SmMe(THF) (Sm1) and [(C5Me5)2Sm]2(PhC=C=C= CPh) (Sm2), with tin compounds, Bu2Sn(OMe)2 (Sn1) and Bu2Sn(OCH2CH2CH2O) (Sn2), in the preparation of random, diblock, and triblock copolymers composed of L-lactide (L-LA) or D,L-LA and cyclic carbonates, trimethylene carbonate (TMC) or 2,2-dimethyltrimethylene carbonate (DTC) is reported. The biode...

The aflatoxin B1 degrading abilities of two different ruminants were compared in this study. One set of experiments evaluated the aflatoxin B1 degradation ability of different rumen fluid donors (steers vs. goats) as well as the rumen fluid filtration method (cheese cloth filtered vs. 0.45 microm Millipore) in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement. Additional studies examined aflatoxin B1 degradation b...
