The present study sought to define a possible role of phosphorus-stimulated
ammoniagenesis, previously observed in vitro and in
experimental animals, in the hypocalciuric effect of phosphorus in young
men. It was hypothesized that titrating some of the hydrogen ions
destined for excretion with ammonia would be beneficial to kidney
calcium...
The ability of salmon plasma protein (SPP) obtained from Chinook salmon at the Klaskanine Fish Hatchery (Astoria, OR) to inhibit protease enzymes found in Pacific whiting (PW) surimi and salmon mince as well as the effect of SPP on the gelation properties of PW surimi under various heating conditions was...
Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) is a pervasive environmental bacterium that can cause opportunistic infections in humans. Among the most robust and hardy members of the Mycobacterium genus, M. avium can persist and thrive in a range of challenging environments, including many which place it in direct contact with humans....
Pathogenic mycobacteria are important agents causing human disease. Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis
(M. avium) is a species of recalcitrant environmental pathogen. The bacterium forms robust biofilms that allow it to
colonize and persist in austere environments, such as residential and commercial water systems. M. avium is also an
opportunistic pathogen...
About 48 million cases of Foodborne illnesses (FBIs) are estimated to occur every year in the US. These are diseases caused by contamination of foods with bacteria, viruses, protozoa, parasites and toxic chemicals. Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) are an important health-care and community associated problem. Since C. difficile spores have...
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of processing on sodium - potassium and calcium - phosphorus ratios in tuna canned in oil and in water, peanut butter, white and whole wheat flours. Mineral levels were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in food samples at various stages...

The prevalence of Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications leads to an increasing focus on the design and optimization of sensor nodes. Battery lifetime and associated costs of battery replacement often limits the long term operation and viability of sensor nodes. RF wireless energy harvesting on the other hand can be appealing since...
