Effects of dietary yeast inclusion and acute stress on post-prandial whole blood profiles of dorsal aorta-cannulated rainbow trout.

Yeast is a potential alternative to fish meal in diets for farmed fish, yet replacing more than 50 % of fish meal results in reduced fish growth. In a 4-week experiment, 15 rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were cannulated and fed three diets each week: 30 % fish meal as a control (FM); 60 % replacement of fish meal protein, on a digestible basis, with Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC); and 60 % replacement with Wickerhamomyces anomalus and S. cerevisiae mix (WA).

Quantifying mass transport during polarization in a Li ion battery electrolyte by in situ 7Li NMR imaging.

Poor mass transport in the electrolyte of Li ion batteries causes large performance losses in high-power applications such as vehicles, and the determination of transport properties under or near operating conditions is therefore important. We demonstrate that in situ (7)Li NMR imaging in a battery electrolyte can directly capture the concentration gradients that arise when current is applied. From these, the salt diffusivity and Li(+) transport number are obtained within an electrochemical transport model.
