Channel Capacity of Starch and Glucose Molecular Communications in the Small Intestine Digestive Tract [PDF]
The emerging field of Molecular Communication (MC) aims to characterize biological-based signaling environment through information that are encoded into molecules. Since the birth of this field, a number of different applications and biological systems have been characterized using MC theory.

DIGEST: Fast and Communication Efficient Decentralized Learning with Local Updates [PDF]
Two widely considered decentralized learning algorithms are Gossip and random walk-based learning. Gossip algorithms (both synchronous and asynchronous versions) suffer from high communication cost, while random-walk based learning experiences increased convergence time.

Gastrointestinal tract size, total-tract digestibility, and rumen microflora in different dairy cow genotypes [PDF]
peer-reviewedThe superior milk production efficiency of Jersey (JE) and Jersey × Holstein-Friesian (JE × HF) cows compared with Holstein-Friesian (HF) has been widely published. The biological differences among dairy cow genotypes, which could contribute

Measurement of protein digestibility in humans by a dual-tracer method
Background Recent evaluations of the risk of dietary protein deficiency have indicated that protein digestibility may be a key limiting factor in the provision of indispensable amino acids (IAAs), particularly for vulnerable populations living in ...

In situ digestion of canola protein gel observed by synchrotron X-Ray Scattering [PDF]
We address the issue of structure changes of a canola protein gel (as a solid food model) during gastrointestinal digestion. We present a method for synchrotron Small-Angle X-ray Scattering analysis of the digestion of a gel in a capillary. Scanning the capillary allows tracking the digestion under diffusion of enzymatic juices.

Starch Structure Influences Its Digestibility: A Review.
Twenty-five years ago, it was found that a significant fraction of the starch present in foods is not digested in the small intestine and continues to the large intestine, where it is fermented by the microbiota; this fraction was named resistant starch (

Replacement of fish meal with a matrix of organic plant proteins in organic trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) feed, and the effects on nutrient utilization and fish performance [PDF]
This study examined the effects on nutrient utilization and fish performance when replacing 16, 31, and 47% of fish meal protein (corresponding to replacing 15, 29 and 44%, respectively, of total dietary protein) with a fixed matrix of organic pea ...
