Abstract:
... Reading of that part of Dr. Jones' paper relating to the development of a new textile product, impells the query as to whether there may not be other known facts and principles, now invisible to practical textile men because they are too close to their daily jobs, that may become the basis of additional new textile finishes or products? Dr. Jones is professor of chemistry at Harvard University. Th ...

Abstract:
... In the past 5 years, four prospective, epidemiologic studies of "weight cycling" found that mortality is higher for persons with unstable body weight than for persons whose body weight is relatively stable [1-3,5]. These findings have generated considerable interest and controversy in both the scientific community and the lay press because of the belief that the weight fluctuations were caused by ...

... The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) recently published its draft report on Carbohydrates and Health, in which new recommended intakes for fibre were proposed for children and adults, following an in‐depth review of the scientific evidence base. The recommendation for the adult population of 30 g/day, measured by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists' (AOAC) method, is s ...

Abstract:
... Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of death for men worldwide. Most PCa patients die from metastasis and bone is the most common metastatic site. Three dimensional (3D) porous chitosan-alginate (CA) scaffolds were developed for bone tissue engineering and demonstrated for culture of cancer cells and enrichment of cancer stem cells. However, only a single scaffold composition was studied. Thr ...

... Elevated circulating cholesterol levels are a risk factor for CVD which is also associated with sub-optimal vascular function. There is emerging evidence that anthocyanins can cause beneficial cardio-protective effects by favourably modulating lipoprotein profiles. We compared the effects of blood orange juice which is rich in anthocyanins and blonde orange juice without anthocyanins on LDL-choles ...

Abstract:
... A few dietary studies have found elevated testicular cancer risks for higher red meat, fat, and milk intakes and lower intakes of fruits, vegetables, and fiber. Because hormonal modulation by dietary intake of plant estrogens could affect risk of testicular cancer, we chose to explore the possible relationship between dietary phytoestrogens and testicular cancer. We conducted a hospital-based case ...

Abstract:
... Early Euroamerican settlers to the tallgrass prairie region of the Midwest considered how the environment benefitted or hindered their fertility. Both men and women sought the prairie as a fertile land for reproduction, and their hopes for progeny shaped the transformation of the prairie ecosystem. The prairie landscape was more than a passive space where humans projected fantasies, however. The p ...

Abstract:
... Gender mainstreaming is a key for achieving inclusive economic growth, poverty reduction and equitable development. A gender disaggregated analysis of changing livelihood activities is, therefore, crucial for devising gender-sensitive policies and programs. This paper presents a gender disaggregated analysis to assess trend and influencing factors of switching livelihood to higher returning activi ...

Abstract:
... Decreased dietary meat may deplete iron stores, as plant-derived iron bioavailability is typically limited. We explored the effect of a low-meat Mediterranean (green-MED) diet, supplemented with Wolffia globosa duckweed (Mankai: rich in protein and iron) as a food source for humans, on iron status. We further examined the iron bioavailability of Mankai in rats. Two hundred and ninety-four abdomina ...

Culinary spices have demonstrated potent in vitro antioxidant properties. The objective of this study was to examine whether adding 14 g of a high antioxidant spice blend to a 5060-kJ (1200 kcal) meal exerted significant pos ...

Abstract:
... The ability to oxidize fat is associated with a lower risk of chronic metabolic disease. Preclinical data in mice showed that a high-fat “breakfast” increased 24-h fat oxidation relative to a high-carbohydrate breakfast. The objectives of this study were to determine whether the timing of macronutrient intake in humans affects daily fuel utilization and to examine associations between fuel utiliza ...

Abstract:
... High-fiber diets (HFDs) are recommended in the diet of persons with diabetes, yet such diets can impair macronutrient digestion and/or absorption, modify insulin sensitivity, and reset metabolism. We studied the effects of a HFD on the kinetics of whole-body protein, a macronutrient that could be affected by dietary fiber, in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), under both basal-low insulinemic and hy ...

The perception-analysis process attempts to seek out the wearing conditions that produce differences in human sensation and the descriptors used by indixiduals to describe these sensations. Details of the human per ...

Abstract:
... The life of Joseph Dalton Hooker (1817–1911) provides an invaluable lens through which to view mid-Victorian science. A biographical approach makes it clear that some well-established narratives about this period need revising. For example, Hooker’s career cannot be considered an example of the professionalisation of the sciences, given the doubtful respectability of being paid to do science and h ...
