Molecular epidemiology of Avian Rotaviruses Group A and D shed by different bird species in Nigeria

Virology Journal, 2017
Background Avian rotaviruses (RVs) cause gastrointestinal diseases of birds worldwide. However, prevalence, diversity, epidemiology and phylogeny of RVs remain largely under-investigated in Africa.

Thermal Equilibrium with the Wiener Potential: Testing the Replica Variational Approximation

, 1995
We consider the statistical mechanics of a classical particle in a one-dimensional box subjected to a random potential which constitutes a Wiener process on the coordinate axis.

Maize‐derived arabinoxylans modulate starch pasting, gel structure, and retrogradation

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Starch–fiber interactions play a paramount role in determining the functional quality and stability of starch‐based food products. This study systematically examined how maize arabinoxylans (MAX) influences the hydration, pasting, textural, and microstructural properties of maize starch gels.

Non-structural Enterotoxin (NSP4) Gene based Molecular Characterization of Caprine and Ovine Rotavirus A, India

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2020
Rotavirus A (RVA) causes viral gastroenteritis in humans and animals, including calves, piglets, and foals. The current study reports the genetic characterization of the full-length enterotoxin gene, NSP4, from caprine and ovine species.

Microstructural, physicochemical, thermal, and rheological properties of starches from commonly consumed yam varieties in West Africa

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study assessed the starch content of ten yam varieties commonly consumed in West Africa to clarify their structural, thermal, physicochemical, and rheological properties and to support their potential food and industrial applications.

Impact of calcium on salivary α-amylase activity, starch paste apparent viscosity and thickness perception [PDF]

, 2011
Thickness perception of starch-thickened products during eating has been linked to starch viscosity and salivary amylase activity. Calcium is an essential cofactor for α-amylase and there is anecdotal evidence that adding extra calcium affects ...

Bridging wheat kernel microstructure and flour rheology occurring during wheat germination

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Wheat germination increases α‐amylase activity, leading to significant biochemical and structural changes that influence flour rheological properties. Understanding the correlation between internal kernel structure and flour rheology is essential for predicting processing performance and optimizing the use of germinated wheat in ...

Generation of Simian Rotavirus Reassortants with VP4- and VP7-Encoding Genome Segments from Human Strains Circulating in Africa Using Reverse Genetics

Viruses, 2020
Human rotavirus A (RVA) causes acute gastroenteritis in infants and young children. The broad use of two vaccines, which are based on RVA strains from Europe and North America, significantly reduced rotavirus disease burden worldwide.

The Matrix Product Approach to Quantum Spin Ladders [PDF]

, 1998
We present a manifestly rotational invariant formulation of the matrix product method valid for spin chains and ladders. We apply it to 2 legged spin ladders with spins 1/2, 1 and 3/2 and different magnetic structures labelled by the exchange coupling ...

A Multimodal Ultrasound Approach Combining Transperineal and Transrectal Shear Wave Elastography for Early Prediction of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of a novel multimodal approach combining transperineal ultrasound (TPUS), transrectal dual‐plane ultrasound, and shear wave elastography (SWE) in predicting stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods A total of 70 women diagnosed with SUI and 110 healthy controls were included.
