Box 7062, Kampala, Uganda 1National Semi-Arid Resources Research Institute, National Agricultural Research Organization, P. O. Box Soroti, Uganda Corresponding author: [email protected] (Received 18 December, 2013; accepted 5 May, 2014) ABSTRACT Mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek), is a pulse species that is widely cultivated in sub-tropical and tropical regions of the world. Unfortunately, the yield of mungbean in Uganda is very low mainly due to inherent genotype failures and losses due to pests and diseases. To achieve a gain in yield through breeding requires collection, characterisation, and evaluation of germplasm, as the first step in identifying genotypes with the desired characteristics. The objective of this study was to describe the nature and extent of genotypic variation among mungbean collections for a range of traits of potential agronomic and adaptive interests in Uganda. A total of 35 mungbean accessions acquired mainly from the World Vegetable Centre (AVRDC) in Taiwan, two local ricebean (Vigna umbellata (Thunb.) Ohwi and Ohashi) and one local blackgram genotype (Vigna mungo) were evaluated for several diverse traits for two cropping seasons at two different locations in Uganda. Genotype by environment interaction (GEI) was significant (P < 0.001) for all the traits, indicating inconsistent performance by some genotypes across two locations and two seasons. -
THE EFFECTS of ENVIRONMENTAL and PHYSICAL STRESS on ENERGY EXPENDITURE, ENERGY INTAKE, and APPETITE by Iva Mandic a Thesis Subm
THE EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND PHYSICAL STRESS ON ENERGY EXPENDITURE, ENERGY INTAKE, AND APPETITE by Iva Mandic A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Exercise Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Iva Mandic (2018) The effects of environmental and physical stress on energy expenditure, energy intake, and appetite Iva Mandic Doctor of Philosophy The Graduate Department of Exercise Sciences University of Toronto 2018 Abstract Body weight loss occurs frequently in military personnel engaged in field operations. When this weight loss is rapid, or extensive it is associated with health and performance decrements. While the nature of military work does not allow for energy expenditure (EE) to be freely altered, energy intake (EI) can be increased to match EE and prevent weight loss. Therefore a primary objective of the current dissertation was to develop a physiological and empirical basis to facilitate informed estimates of the EI that would be required to offset the EE demand of military tasks during field operations. Three different approaches were undertaken: 1) The energy costs of 46 infantry tasks were measured; the results should reduce the dependency on less accurate predictions. 2) The impact of ambient temperature on EE of the tasks was minimal (~3%) when the ambient temperature was between -10°C and 30°C. This indicates that caloric supplementation of field rations on account of temperature is likely unnecessary during short-term operations occurring within this temperature range; and, lastly 3) A simple algorithm based on accelerometry and heart rate was developed to assess EE in the field. -

THE NATIVE COASTAL PLANTS of OIAHU, HAWAIII Raymond S. Tabata Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program University of Hawaii at Manoa Ho
321 THE NATIVE COASTAL PLANTS OF OIAHU, HAWAIII Raymond S. Tabata Sea Grant Marine Advisory program University of Hawaii at Manoa Honolulu, Hawaii 96822 INTRODUCTION The most vulnerable elements in the coastline vegetation are the endemic strand elements, which are narrow in range ..•and the endemic elements of the native dry forests, which may have extended to the coast in the leeward areas.... (Richmond & Mueller Dombois 1972). The demise of the Hawaiian endemic flora has been a concern for many decades. Degener (1932 et seq.), Egler (1947), and Richmond and Mueller-Dombois (1972) h~ve documented the gradual loss of native plants on O'ahu due to the impacts of agriculture, development, and introduced plants. In recent years, with in creased interest in Hawaiiana, the native Hawaiian environment, and coastal zone management, there has been increasing concern for native coastal plants. This is shown by several, recent pUblications written for general audiences on this subject: Arrigoni (1977, 1978), Merlin (1977), and Tabata (1979). Also, a 20-minute slide/tape program "Ni Mea Uiu Ma Kahakai a Hawaili" was produced by Kimura and Nagata (1979). For O'ahu,particular1y, there is now new information on the status of native coastal plants: Richmond and Mue1ler-Dombois (1972) on O'ahu coastline ecosystems; Fosberg and Herbst (1975) on rare and endangered plants; Herbst (1976), ErS Corp. (1977), and Miura and Sato (1978) on the Barber's Point Deep-Draft Harbor site; Stemmermann (1977) on Hawaiian sandalwoods (Santalum spp.); Degener and Degener (1978) on the lohai (Sesbania spp.); Elliott and Hall (1978) on the Kahuku area; Char and Balakrishnan (1979) on the 'Ewa ·Plains flora; Gardner (1979) on nehe (LiEochaeta spp.); and Kimura and Nagata (19frO) on endangered coastal envi ronments. -

Relationship Between Digestive Enzymes, Proteins and Anti-Nutritive Factors in Monogastric Digestion
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIGESTIVE ENZYMES, PROTEINS AND ANTI-NUTRITIVE FACTORS IN MONOGASTRIC DIGESTION By: Theofilos Kempapidis A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering Faculty of Engineering The University of Sheffield December 2019 ‘To my beloved mother, whom I couldn’t have done this without and to the memory of my beloved father that passed away during my PhD.’ i ABSTRACT Monogastrics’ lack of some digestive enzymes is compensated by using exogenous enzymes in the animal feed. Those interact with feed ingredients causing enzyme inhibition. Two known inhibiting substances are phytic acid and polyphenolics. Phytase is an important exogenous enzyme that is breaking down phytic acid. The effect of sorghum polyphenolic-rich extracts on the 6-phytase activity was investigated using an ITC by calculating its relative activity. Results show inhibition of the phytase, from all three extracts. For a better understanding of this assay, a real-time mass spectroscopic analysis was performed, that showed the pattern in which the phytase is hydrolysing phytic acid. Consecutively, the effect of phytic acid on the activity of three proteases exogenous and endogenous chymotrypsin and endogenous trypsin was studied. A colorimetric assay using casein as a substrate was used. The results showed different levels of inhibition of all three enzymes by phytic acid. Finally, the interaction between the exogenous chymotrypsin and the phytase was studied by using the ITC enzyme assay and an SDS-Page gel analysis. ITC results showed partial inhibition of the phytase activity, while SDS-Page results showed complete inhibition. -

ISBN 978-5-94621-683-8 Disturbances in trace element homeostasis may result in the development of pathologic states and diseases. The most characteristic patterns of a modern human being are deficiency of essential and excess of toxic trace elements. Such a deficiency frequently occurs due to insufficient trace element content in diets or increased requirements of an organism. All these changes of trace element homeostasis form an individual trace element portrait of a person. Consequently, impaired balance of every trace element should be analyzed in the view of other patterns of trace element portrait. Only personalized approach to diagnosis can meet these requirements and result in successful treatment. Effective management and timely diagnosis of trace element deficiency and toxicity may occur only in the case of adequate assessment of trace element status of every individual based on recent data on trace element metabolism. Therefore, the most recent basic data on participation of essential trace elements in physiological processes, metabolism, routes and volumes of entering to the body, relation to various diseases, medical applications with a special focus on iron (Fe), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), selenium (Se), iodine (I), cobalt (Co), chromium, and molybdenum (Mo) are reviewed.
