Pattern of insulin delivery affects hepatic insulin sensitizing substance (HISS) action and insulin resistance
(2004-12-31)
Hepatic insulin sensitizing substance (HISS) action accounts for 55% of the glucose disposal effect of a bolus of insulin in the fed state. To determine the effect of continuous versus pulsatile insulin delivery on HISS ...
Host-parasite interactions in tan spot [Pyrenophora tritici-repentis] of wheat
(2003-12-31)
Tan spot of wheat, caused by the ascomycete Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is an economically important disease in all the major wheat growing areas worldwide. Even though the pathogen was known to occur on grasses and ...
Two large-scale sealing tests conducted at Atomic Energy of Canada's underground research laboratory: the buffer-container experiment and the isothermal test
(2002-06-30)
Two large-scale sealing experiments were conducted at Atomic Energy of Canada Limited's Underground Research Laboratory at Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba. The rate of water uptake in densely compacted sand-clay buffer materials ...
Small reflector antenna with low sidelobes
(2003-10-31)
A prime focus low sidelobe parabolic reflector antenna with self-supported feed is designed for low sidelobe, applications. The parabolic reflector diameter is between I nine and 12 wavelengths. A simple design is achieved ...
First report of Mycosphaerella graminicola, the sexual state of Septoria tritici, in Manitoba, Canada
(2002-12-31)
Mycosphaerella graminicola, the sexual state of Septoria tritici that causes speckled leaf blotch in wheat, was found in wheat stubble during the summer of 2001 in southwestern Manitoba. This is the first time that the ...
Purification of the NADP(+): F-420 oxidoreductase of Methanosphaera stadtmanae
(2000-11-30)
Methanosphaera stadtmanae (DSM 3091) is a methanogen that requires H-2 and CH3OH for methanogenesis. The organism does not possess an F-420-dependent hydrogenase and only low levels of F-420. It does however possess ...
Insulin sensitivity regulated by feeding in the conscious unrestrained rat
(2002-01-31)
Hepatic insulin sensitizing substance (HISS), a putative hormone released from the liver in response to insulin in fed animals, accounts for 50-60% of insulin action. HISS release is regulated by permissive control of the ...
Inactivation of Ascaris suum eggs in digested and dewatered biosolids with lime and fly ash at bench scale and full scale
(2003-09-30)
The feasibility of inactivating Ascaris suum eggs spiked into digested and dewatered biosolids from Winnipeg, Manitoba to class A levels (as per USEPA 1993) by storing the biosolids treated with lime (CaO) and (or) fly ash ...
Multiple phase center performance of reflector antennas using a dual mode horn
(2006-11-30)
A new application for reflector antennas is proposed and developed. Using the aperture theory, a phase center on the reflector aperture is determined and shown that, its location is dependent on the field distribution. The ...
Postfiltering versus prefiltering for signal recovery from noisy samples
(2003-12-31)
We consider the extension of the Whittaker-Shannon (WS) reconstruction formula to the case of signals sampled in the presence of noise and which are not necessarily band limited. Observing that in this situation the classical ...
