The aim of this work was to study the effect of time between adrenaline injection and slaughter on the rate and extent of post-mortem metabolism in pig muscle. Five pigs were subcutaneously injected with adrenaline (0·3 mg/kg) or with a saline solution 4 h, 1 h or 15 min prior to slaughter. pH1, pHu and FOPu were measured in Longissimus dorsi (LD) and Biceps femoris (BF) muscles. m.LD samples were
Acute respiratory acidosis was induced in goats by inhalation of 6% or 8% CO2 in air for 30 min. The lower CO2 concentration caused a significant rise in plasma Cortisol (PC), but had no appreciable influence upon plasma aldosterone (PA), and did not affect the arterial blood pressure (aBP). A more pronounced PC response was observed in association with the inhalation of 8% CO2, but also here with
The study pertains to a series of investigations on the effects of CO2 inhalation as used for pre‐slaughter anaesthesia in swine. Acid/base parameters, blood oxygen tension, plasma Na, K, Ca and stress hormone concentrations were monitored in Yorkshire swine before, during, and for 10 min after the animals were descended for 1 min into 80% CO2 in air. Severe respiratory acidosis (Paco2˜ 50 kPa, ar

Results of useful exergy accounting at the societal (i.e. national or global) level are potentially important for policy purposes, such as the development of energy or GHG emission scenarios, and the determination of the major energy inefficiencies (and thus improvement potentials) within a country. However, useful exergy societal studies commonly differ in their accounting methodology, which affe
The major aim of this paper is to analyze energy use and particularly energy productivity in some of the major manufacturing processes, such as iron and steel or paper production. Energy, as one of factors of production and substitute to labor, has often been neglected in various productivity benchmark studies. It is the aim of this paper to further investigate this relationship between energy and
Increased estuarine input and subsequent degradation of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a potentially important cause of rising CO2 concentrations that contribute to coastal marine acidification. However, it is not clear whether or not the evolved CO2 originates from the decomposition of terrestrially-derived DOC. We recorded the changes in δ13C and δ2H of dissolved organic matter during laborat

Complex formation between Pd(H2O)42+ and Pt(H2O)42+ and the thioethers Me2S, Et2S, 1,4-dithiane, and 1,4-thioxane has been studied as a function of temperature (278-308 K) and pressure (0.1-200 MPa) by use of stopped-flow and conventional spectrophotometry in an aqueous 1.00 M perchloric acid medium. The rate constants k1 for complex formation are similar for the four thioethers, varying only betw
Finance ministries are increasingly involved in UN climate finance negotiations,yet this development received very limited attention in the literature on climate finance or climate negotiations. It is not obvious from the literature on bureaucratic politics how these ministries will position themselves on climate finance: they may frame climate finance as expenditure to be limited or as an instrum
Recent calls to close the rigour-relevance gap in business school education have suggested incorporating principles and ideas from action learning in small business management education. In this paper we discuss how business simulation exercises can be used as a platform to trigger students’ learning by providing them with a platform where they can merge theory with practice. We provide theoretica
