Carcass composition, meat quality characteristics and changes in backfat fatty acid composition of swine that were allowed to obtain part or all of their weight gain during the growing-finishing period from gleaning peanuts remaining in the field after harvest were evaluated. Thirty-six cross-bred pigs (18 barrows, 18 gilts) were allotted evenly among the following six treatments: 1) fed a corn-soybean meal-based diet (C) from 26 to 104 kg (CCC); 2) gleaned peanuts (P) from 26 to 102 kg (PPP); 3) C from 26 to 78 kg and P from 78 to 103 kg (CCP); 4) P from 26 to 55 kg and C from 55 to 105 kg (PCC); 5) C from 26 to 56 kg and P from 56 to 103 kg (CCP); 6) P from 26 to 79 kg and C from 79 to 106 kg (PPC). Carcasses from all treatment groups were similar in composition. Carcass fat of pigs in CPP, PPC and, in particular, PPP groups was softer than that from pigs in CCC, CCP and PCC groups. Ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids in backfat increased in proportion to the amount of weight gained while pigs gleaned peanuts. Loins from pigs in the PPP and CPP treatment groups received lower marbling scores than those from the CCC group, but the fat content of the loin was not affected by treatment. No differences were detected between treatment groups in shear force values or sensory panel attributes of broiled loin chops, or in thiobarbituric acid values of vacuum packaged loin sections frozen for 4 mo.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Moderate caffeine consumers (n = 64, mean caffeine intake 453 mg/day) were deprived of caffeine overnight and semi-randomly allocated to four treatment groups, designated PPP, CPP, CCP and CCC, where P is placebo and C is caffeine (1.2 mg/kg, giving an amount of caffeine similar to that consumed in a serving of ground coffee). Caffeine or placebo (i.e. no caffeine) were administered double-blind in novel fruit juice drinks at 10:15, 11:30 and 13:00 h on the test day. Before (baseline), and 45 min after each of these times the participants completed a mood questionnaire and begun psychomotor performance tests lasting 25 min (1-min tapping task, and a long-duration simple reaction time task (SRT). Caffeine significantly increased energetic mood and improved psychomotor performance relative to placebo. Caffeine had particularly marked effects on SRT performance, ameliorating the slowing of performance with time on task and removing the post-lunch dip in performance. However, the three caffeine treatments, CPP, CCP and CCC, were equally effective. That is, mood and performance were improved to the same extent by one, two and three spaced doses (totalling 86, 172 and 258 mg) of caffeine. This result is consistent with previous findings indicating a flat dose-response relationship for the psychoactive effects of caffeine; and because of the adverse effects (e.g. fatigue) associated with overnight caffeine deprivation, it suggests that there is little net benefit to be gained from frequent caffeine use. At the very least, it appears that the psychostimulant effects of caffeine cannot on their own account for the typical pattern of consumption of caffeine-containing drinks.

The rotational spectra of the unstable HCCCP molecule have been investigated in the millimeter-wave region for the main excited vibrational states which lie below 1000 cm(-1), namely nu(4) (C&bond;C stretch), nu(5) (HCC bend), nu(6) (CCC bend), nu(7) (CCP bend), 2nu(6), 2nu(7), 3nu(7), 4nu(7), nu(5) + nu(7), and nu(6) + nu(7). l-type resonance effects have been taken into account in the analysis of the spectra, so that the values of the anharmonicity constants x(L(66)), x(L(77)), x(L(57)), and x(L(67)) could be determined. The anharmonic interactions which couple the nu(4) state with nu(6) + nu(7), 2nu(6), and 4nu(7) have been also considered, yielding the unperturbed value of the alpha(4) vibration-rotation coupling constant.
