Abstract
A gas permeable, liquid impermeable membrane for use with gas sensors in which the membrane consists of a film forming polymer which incorporates one or more nanoparticles selected to improve one or more of the following the permeability to gases, to selectively impede or exclude permeation by some gases while facilitating the passage of selected gases through the membrane, to inhibit microbial growth on the membrane. The membranes are useful in capsules adapted to be introduced into the stomach and Gl tract of a mammal which consists of a capsule shaped container consisting of a wall material capable of being bio compatible with the Gl tract and being adapted to protect the electronic and sensor devices contained in the capsule. The capsule contains gas composition sensors, pressure and temperature sensors, a micro controller, a power source and a wireless transmission device. The microprocessor is programmed to receive data signals from the sensors and convert the signals into gas composition and concentration data and temperature and pressure data suitable for transmission to an external computing device. The capsule wall incorporates gas permeable nano-composite membranes with embedded catalytic and nano void producing nanoparticles which enhance the operation, selectivity and sensitivity of the gas sensors. The nanoscomposite membranes also reduce the risk of microorganism colonization on the surface that increases the life time of the capsule.

The invention provides a meat stretching device. The device includes a receptacle and a flexible sleeve. The flexible sleeve is mounted within the receptacle, the flexible sleeve having a cross-section that defines an aperture to receive one or more cuts of meat. The receptacle is connectable to an air pressure device that is capable of generating a positive pressure in the receptacle to cause the flexible sleeve to constrict around and stretch the one or more cuts of meat that are received in the aperture. In one form the flexible sleeve has a first end and a second end, and a cross-section that defines an aperture, the first end being adapted to receive one or more cuts of meat and the second end being adapted to allow the one or more cuts of meat to be removed from the flexible sleeve. In this form the flexible sleeve is mounted within the receptacle such that an airtight volume is formed between the flexible sleeve and the receptacle. The flexible sleeve constricts around and stretches the one or more cuts of meat when the airtight volume is subjected to positive pressure. The invention further provides a related method of stretching meat.
The present application discloses the Tv-stp-1 serine/threonine phosphatase gene from Trichostrongylus vitrinus, and compounds that are useful as invertebrate control agents.

Abstract
A method for assessing the tenderness of meat from an animal, comprising the step of testing the animal for the presence or absence of a genetic marker selected from the group consisting of a polymorphism in the gene encoding calpastatin (CAST) associated with peak-force variation selected from the group consisting of CAST:c.143GᡶA SerᡶGly, CAST:c.155CᡶT ProᡶLeu, CAST:c.856GᡶA AlaᡶThr, CAST: c.1098TᡶA, CAST: c.1413CᡶT, CAST: c.1416GᡶA, CAST:c.1487CᡶT AlaᡶVal, CAST: c.1515CᡶT, CAST: c.1583GᡶA, CAST: c.2743AᡶG, CAST: c.2889AᡶT, CAST: c.2939CᡶA and CAST: c.2987TᡶC.
