THE URBANOLOGISTS COME TO TOWN: Professional Life and Work in the Urban Solutions Industry

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article charts the upsurge of an eclectic global community of professionals new to the field of urban policy and governance, animated by playful and celebratory attitudes towards cities and urbanization: the urbanologists. It contributes to debates in critical urban theory and critical ethnographies of technology to problematize ...

Nutritional value of canola expellers produced "on farm" by cold extraction of oil used as bio fuel [PDF]

, 2013
General aim of this thesis was to study canola expellers (CE) extracted by cold pressing in a small plant (on farm) and to evaluate the validity to use this by-product in ruminant feeding. The thesis includes the results of four experimental contributes:

Response of Fecal Bacteria and Fungi to Tannin‐Rich Diets in Sika Deer (Cervus nippon): Evidence from Both Feeding Experiments and Field Investigations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Feeding with tannin‐rich diets altered the fecal microbial composition and increased the relative abundance of tannin‐degrading microbes. We hypothesize that fecal bacteria and fungi may play important roles in helping herbivores adapt to tannin‐rich diets but respond to different tannin concentrations varies.

Kaempferol Protects Intestinal Health in Chinese Forest Musk Deer Possibly by Regulating Intestinal Microbiota and Inhibiting the NF‐κB/NLRP3 Signaling Pathway

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Kaempferol modulates the tryptophan metabolism pathway by increasing the abundances of Christensenellaceae R7 group, Bacteroides, and Blautia and reducing that of Rikenellaceae RC9 gut group, thereby significantly increasing the levels of ILA and IAA. This process inhibits the activation of NF‐κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway, reduces pro‐inflammatory factor

Ruminal fermentation modification of protein and carbohydrate by means of roasted and estimation of microbial protein synthesis Modificação da fermentação ruminal de proteína e carboidrato por meio da tostagem e estimativa de síntese de proteína microbiana

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2009
The animal meal prohibition as a protein source with low ruminal degradability in ruminant nutrition, creates the need to seek alternatives, as legume seeds, however, its protein, have a high degradability, which could generate losses of nitrogen in the ...

Seasonal Dynamics of Community and Function of Gut Microbiome in Taihangshan Macaque (Macaca mulatta tcheliensis): Inferred From Metagenomic Data

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
A total of 435 non‐redundant metagenome‐assembled genomes (MAGs) were obtained from fecal samples of Taihangshan macaque across all four seasons. The alpha diversity of the gut microbiome in spring and winter was significantly higher than in summer and autumn. Furthermore, marked differences were detected in functional pathways and carbohydrate enzymes

Gut Microbiota Analysis and Comparison in Forest Musk Deer (Moschus berezovskii) of Different Ages and Musk‐Secreting Periods

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Metagenomic sequencing was used to analyze fecal microbiota of captive male forest musk deer (FMD) from the Sichuan Institute of Musk Deer Breeding across ages and musk‐secreting periods. Gut microbiota was generally stable and dominated by Firmicutes, while age and musk secretion shaped microbial composition and function, with musk collection linked ...

Delivery of a coated bioactive from a rumen controlled-release device [PDF]

, 2008
Ruminants possess a unique digestive system. Using the high metabolic potential of the symbiotic microflora of the rumen, ruminants are capable of digesting plant material and obtaining nutrients and energy from this process.

Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed affects coprophagous beetles' dung use

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed reduced the attractiveness of dung for a common dung beetle (Onthophagus nuchicornis). Dietary supplementation with brown seaweed appeared to reduce the proportion of major males in the F1 generation.
