Lessons from International Central Counterparties: Benchmarking and Analysis
No full textSince the financial crisis, attention has focused on central counterparties (CCPs) as a solution to systemic risk for a variety of financial markets, ranging from repurchase agreements and options to swaps. However, internationally accepted standards and the academic literature have left unanswered many practical questions related to the design of CCPs. The author analyzes the inherent trade]offs and resulting international benchmarks for a certain set of issues. Four CCPs - FINet, CME Clearing, Eurex Clearing and LCH.Clearnet - are considered in terms of risk management, CCP links, governance and operational risk.Financial system regulation and policies; Financial stability; Payment, clearing, and settlement systems; Financial markets
Pressure effects on lipidic direct phases: the dodecyltrimethyl ammonium chloride-water system
No full textThe direct lyotropic polymorphism of dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) was investigated by synchrotron X-ray diffraction at different water concentrations under compression up to 2 kbar, i.e., in the pressure intermediate range where interesting biophysical transformations occur and the functional characteristics of cell membranes are altered. The results show that pressure induces the transition from the hexagonal phase to the micellar Pm3n cubic phase in hydrated samples (c between 0.5 and 0.6, c being the weight concentration of lipid in the mixture) and the transition from the bicontinuous Ia3d cubic phase to the hexagonal phase in drier samples (c = 0.8). By increasing the pressure on very dry samples, a lamellar Lα phase was observed to form transitorily at the Ia3d cubic-hexagonal phase transition. Phase compressibility and then the lipid and water partial molecular compressibilities were derived as a function of pressure and concentration. As a result, we assessed the very low compressibility of the hydration water within the lipid phases, and we demonstrated that the compressibility of DTAC is very dependent on pressure. Moreover, the molecular parameters of DTAC calculated in the different phases during compression confirmed that pressure induces small but continuous conformational changes, definitely different from the large changes observed in lipid molecules forming type II structures. © 2006 American Chemical Society
Miscanthus grass as a novel functional fiber source in extruded feline diets
No full textOver the past few decades, there has been a growing interest in dietary fiber as an important nutrient in both human and animal nutrition. The driving force behind this growing interest has largely been the population’s desire to consume “functional foods” to support health and aid in disease prevention. With the increasing humanization of pets, consumers have focused on pet health and wellness, as affected by nutrition. Consumers often have a desire to provide their animals with pet food products that are not only complete and balanced, but also reflect their personal nutritional interests and philosophy. A wider range of products and ingredients is needed in order to supply these nutritional benefits and meet the growing expectations of pet parents. The objective of this research was to evaluate the novel dietary fiber source, miscanthus grass, in comparison to traditional dietary fiber sources, and their effects on parameters related to gastrointestinal health, nutrient apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) and fecal characteristics of adult cats. Four dietary treatments were evaluated (n = 7 cats/treatment), differing only in dietary fiber source. The diets were formulated to meet or exceed the AAFCO (2018) nutrient profiles of adult cats and contained either 7% cellulose (CO), 9% miscanthus grass fiber (MF), a blend of 7% miscanthus grass fiber plus 2% tomato pomace (MF+TP), or 11% beet pulp (BP) to achieve a target total dietary fiber (TDF) content of 15% in each treatment. The study was a completely randomized design using twenty-eight neutered adult, domesticated shorthair cats (19 females and 9 males, mean age 2.21 ± 0.03 yr; mean BW 4.58 ± 0.7 kg, mean body condition score 5.6 ± 0.6). Cats were randomly assigned to one of the four dietary treatments and were fed twice a day to maintain body weight for an experimental period of 21 d. On the last 4 d of the experimental period, a fresh fecal and total fecal collection were performed. A fresh fecal sample was collected for each cat within 15 min of defecation and was used to evaluate fecal dry matter (DM) content, fecal score, pH, and fermentative end-product concentrations. A fasted blood sample was collected at baseline and at the end of the 21-d period. Serum chemistry and complete blood count were analyzed to verify the health status of all animals. Data were analyzed using SAS version 9.4 with the mixed model procedure. The treatments were well accepted by the cats, and daily food intake (DM basis) was similar across all groups (P > 0.05). Additionally, treatment did not have an effect on fecal output (as-is or DM basis), fecal score, or fecal pH (P > 0.05). All diets had nutrient digestibility coefficients close to or above 80%, indicating that they were well digested by the animals. The ATTD of DM (78.3-82.7%), organic matter (OM) (81.8-86.3%), and crude protein (CP) (83.1-84.6%), were similar for all treatments (P > 0.05). However, ATTD of acid hydrolyzed fat was higher for the CO group (94.5%) when compared with the MF (91.7%) and MF+TP (91.2%) groups (P 0.05) in fecal ammonia and phenol concentrations among groups, fecal indole and total phenol and indole concentrations were highest for the MF and MF+TP groups compared with CO and BP (P 0.05). Total branched-chain fatty acids (BCFA), isobutyrate, and isovalerate concentrations were higher for the MF+TP group than for the CO and BP groups (P < 0.05), with the MF group being intermediate. A similar trend for valerate concentration was observed with the MF+TP treatment being higher than the BP treatment (P < 0.05), with CO and MF treatments being intermediate. Cats fed BP differed in -diversity compared with cats fed CO, MF, and MF+TP. However, -diversity was greater for cats fed MF and MF+TP in contrast with cats fed BP. As no adverse effects on health, fecal score, or macronutrient ATTD were observed with the inclusion of 9% miscanthus grass fiber, or a miscanthus grass blend, the data suggest that it is a viable alternative to the traditional sources of dietary fiber, being most comparable to cellulose.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2022-12-01The student, Shannon Finet, accepted the attached license on 2020-11-30 at 12:07.The student, Shannon Finet, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2020-11-30 at 12:28.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2020-12-02 at 10:55.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #15986 on 2021-03-04 at 16:32:44Made available in DSpace on 2021-03-05T21:45:40Z (GMT).

Structural Characterization of the pH-Denatured States of Ferricytochrome-c by Synchrotron Small Angle X-Ray Scattering
No full textAbstractThe ferricytochrome-c (cyt-c) shows a complex unfolding pathway characterized by a series of stable partially folded states. When titrated with HCl at low ionic strength, two transitions are detected. At pH 2, cyt-c assumes the U1 unfolded state, whereas the successive addition of Cl− ion from either HCl or NaCl induces the recompaction to a molten globule conformation (A1 and A2 states, respectively). A second unfolded state (U2) is also observed at pH 12. Recent data evidence different features for the local structure of the heme in the different states. To derive relationships between local and overall conformations, we analyzed the structural characteristics of the different states by synchrotron small angle x-ray scattering. The results show that in the acidic-unfolded U1 form the protein assumes a worm-like conformation, whereas in the alkaline-unfolded U2 state, the cyt-c is globular. Moreover, the molten globule states induced by adding HCl or NaCl to U1 appear structurally different: in the A1 state cyt-c is dimeric and less compact, whereas in the A2 form the protein reverts to a globular-like conformation. According to the local heme structure, a molecular model for the different forms is derived
