TB33: Utilization of Amino Acids from Proteins: Manual of Procedures

To meet the protein needs of the newly developing countries and the increasing world population, plant proteins and protein mixtures will be required in larger and larger amounts. The proteins studied in this investigation included an animal and a vegetable protein that are important agricultural products of the United States. While general information about the nutritive quality of these proteins is available, this regional study was designed to contribute to an understanding of the reasons for the quality differences and to provide a basis for formulating protein mixtures of high quality using various protein sources.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_techbulletin/1172/thumbnail.jp

The Concomitant Relationship Shared by Sleep Disturbances and Type 2 Diabetes: Developing Telemedicine as a Viable Treatment Option

Individually, sleep disturbances and type 2 diabetes pose pervasive challenges to health. In addition, the negative symptomology associated with each condition is exacerbated further when presenting concomitantly. This relationship formulates a destructive loop wherein those with diabetes experience decreased sleep quality, which, in turn, worsens a wide range of health threats experienced by those with diabetes, including obesity and glucose intolerance. Because major lifestyle changes and daily care are needed to effectively manage both diabetes and sleep disturbances, an efficient and timely modality of treatment is essential. Advanced technology incorporating telemedicine and telehealth has the potential to enhance treatment by delivering accepted standard of care, medical monitoring, and education quickly and seamlessly—even in rural locations. This type of intervention has the added potential benefit of fostering patient empowerment

TB40: Effect of Dietary Changes on the Tissue Composition of Rats

The following experiments were done to study the effects of both long-term and day-by-day dietary changes of fat and protein on tissue fat and serum cholesterol levels.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_techbulletin/1157/thumbnail.jp

TB38: Utilization of Amino Acids from Protein by the Growing Rat: Efficiency of Carcass Protein Formation

Ten experiment stations in the Northeast have cooperated in investigating three sources of amino acids (pure amino acids, milk protein and wheat gluten) at two levels (1.2% and 1.6% dietary nitrogen) with different subjects (humans, rats, pigs and protozoa) under different conditions (growth, maintenance and stress) in order to study availability of amino acids in protein. The publication describes the effect of the three nitrogen sources containing equal amounts of essential amino acids and nitrogen on the growth of rats over two and four weeks.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_techbulletin/1155/thumbnail.jp

TB16: The Effect of Stress on the Formation of Tissue Lipid from Dietary Protein

Rats were stressed in a black, enclosed, motor-driven drum by being rotated at random intervals during half of a forty-eight hour period. They were stressed for two out of every six days for six weeks, while receiving a casein diet.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_techbulletin/1176/thumbnail.jp

TB21: Relationships of Proteins, Essential Fatty Acids and Cholesterol in the Rat and the Mouse

This report describes extensive experiments to search for effects of various types and levels of dietary protein and dietary fat, especially linoleic acid, on such parameters of well-being as growth, appearance, tissue moisture and lipid content, tissue and serum cholesterol levels and lipid iodine numbers. Inbred mice were used in initial experiments and inbred rats were used in later experiments.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_techbulletin/1181/thumbnail.jp

Catalytic leadership: How a president\u27s language influences national outcomes

This study investigated the extent to which potential-focused leader language (inclusive, future-focused, and honest) is catalytic. An analysis of US presidential speeches found language was related to historian ratings, unskilled worker wages, and an enduring legacy (internet and book references), but unrelated to social (e.g., patents) and societal (e.g., prison population) outcomes

La metrologia negli edifici pubblici e privati della Sicilia romana: persistenze e innovazioni nei centri di Agrigentum, Lilybaeum e Tyndaris

La presente tesi studia la metrologia relativa ad alcuni edifici chiave, sia pubblici, sia privati, dei centri romani di Agrigentum, Lilybaeum e Tyndaris, cercando di cogliere persistenze o sviluppi nell'uso dei sistemi metrici adoperati. Unendo a questo tipo di ricerca un'analisi storica, politica e architettonica dei tre centri, si cerca di cogliere chi fossero i committenti e quali le maestranze per cui fu utilizzato un dato sistema di misurazione
