A patient is provided with an increased sense of satiety by increasing resistance to the outflow of food from the stomach and through the intestines. Stomach emptying may be slowed with devices implantable within the gastrointestinal tract below the stomach. Implants are preferably removable and can include artificial strictures that may be adjustable to vary the rate of stomach emptying. Slowing gastric emptying may induce satiety for a longer period and may therefore reduce food consumption. Many of the embodiments include intestinal liners or sleeves, but they need not. The resistor concept may be applied to a simple anchor and resistor without a long liner.

A patient is provided with an increased sense of satiety by increasing resistance to the outflow of food from the stomach and through the intestines. Stomach emptying may be slowed with devices implantable within the gastrointestinal tract below the stomach. Implants are preferably removable and can include artificial strictures or apertures that may be adjustable or elastic to vary the rate of stomach emptying. Slowing gastric emptying may induce satiety for a longer period and may therefore reduce food consumption. Many of the embodiments include intestinal sleeves or sleeves, but they need not. The resistor concept may be applied to a simple anchor and resistor without a long sleeve.

Extracts of vetiver oil were found to significantly repel termites. In one extract, nootkatone was isolated and found to be a significant repellent and toxicant of termites. Nootkatone significantly decreased food consumption, decreased tunneling behavior, and increased mortality in termites. Nootkatone is an effective repellent and toxicant of termites either by itself or as an addition to other materials or substrates, including mulches made from vetiver grass roots or other wood products. Nootkatone can also be used to protect construction wood from attack by Formosan subterranean termites. Nootkatone as a repellent is non-toxic to humans and other mammals and is environmentally safe. In addition, α-cedrene was found to be a weak termite repellent; and both zizanol and bicyclovetivenol were found to be repellents and toxicants of termites.

The invention discloses an integration processing method of a high-efficient corn straw biological feed, and belongs to the field of biological feeds. Corn straw is subjected to three-step fermentation, so that a superior microorganism coarse feed for ruminant animals, with high efficiency and low cost, is produced in a large-scale manner. The integration processing method comprises the following steps of firstly, based on the corn straw, performing high-efficient pure solid cultivation on a white rot fungus enzyme preparation, then converting the cultivated white rot fungus enzyme preparation in large inoculum amount to a first-stage fermentation medium of the corn straw, and besides, inoculating serial lignocelluloses degradation bacteria and candida utilis bacteria for synergistic rapid degradation and transformation; then adding bacillus and saccharomyces cerevisiae for second-stage fermentation; and using lactic acid bacteria for third-stage anaerobic fermentation so as to obtain finished products. The raw materials used by the integration processing method do not need to be sterilized, the finished products do not need to be dried, lysozymes are enriched, the cost is low, the lignin is notably reduced, and genuine protein is increased to 12% or above. The high-efficient corn straw biological feed can be used as a superior coarse feed and a protein grain feed for cattle and sheep, and the additive quantity can reach 60% or above; the additive quantity can also be about 10%, so that the high-efficient corn straw biological feed is used for simple stomach animals. The technique is high in scalability and integrity, and the economic and social benefits are notable.

The present invention is directed to a compound according to formula, (R²R³)-B¹-A¹-c(A²-A³-A⁴-A⁵-A⁶-A⁷-A⁸-A⁹)-A¹⁰-A¹¹-A¹²-A¹³-B²-B³-R¹, that act as ligands for one or more of the melanocortin receptors, the pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof, to methods of using such peptides to treat mammals and to pharmaceutical compositions useful therefore comprising said peptides.

The invention provides a critic acid production fermentation technology, which is characterized in that: during a critic acid fermentation process, protease is added into a fermentation tank through a fed-batch method so as to hydrolyze the protein in a culture medium into nitrogen sources, which can be rapidly utilized by bacterial strains, such as small molecular peptides, amino acid, and the like. The method can increases the content of amino acid, which can be directly utilized by bacterial strains, in a fermentation fluid; also can fully dissolves out the starch particles, which combine with the protein, reduces the viscosity of the fermentation fluid, improves the oxygen transmission efficiency in the fermentation fluid, promotes the bacterial strains to produce acid, solves the problem that in the current critic acid production process the protein utilization effect is bad in the early fermentation period, shortens the fermentation period, reduces the residual total sugar and grain consumption for fermentation, and increases the economic profits for entrepreneurs.

The invention discloses a method for fermenting and producing citric acid. The method can effectively maintain the activity of the glucoamylase by adding glucoamylase at 36-38°C after cooling down and adding strains, and the utilization rate of the glucoamylase is high; in the fermentation liquid Adding glucoamylase can effectively overcome the problems of high fermentation residual sugar and fermented grain consumption and low conversion rate in the existing technology; the advantage of the present invention is that compared with the prior art, the output of a single tank with the same feeding amount is increased by 2% Above, the grain consumption of fermentation liquid is reduced by 20-30kg/t, and the fermentation conversion rate is increased by more than 2.5%.

The invention relates to low carbohydrate beer, which comprises water, alcohol, carbohydrate, protein, carbon dioxide, mineral composition and other compositions, wherein, the carbohydrate is equal to or less than 1.6 percent (m/m), and the heat is equal to or less than 108KJ/100ml. The manufacturing method of the beer is that: crushing malt, carrying out saccharification and fermentation, filtering and packaging, wherein, the selected raw material is two-rowed malt; the saccharification temperature is 62-65 DEG C and the saccharification time is 60-100 minutes, efficient enzyme preparation is added in the process of saccharification, thereby the fermentation degree of the beer reaches a higher value; maltogenic amylase and pullulanase can be separately selected or selected in a blending way as the efficient enzyme preparation. Compared with the traditional beer, the carbohydrate of the beer is reduced by more than 56 percent, the heat is reduced by more than 36 percent, the rate of dilution can be enlarged to 70 percent, and the main fermentation time is shortened, thereby reducing grain consumption, improving production efficiency, saving production cost and improving product quality.
