Abstract:
... Food insecurity (FI) may increase risk for binge eating through a “feast-or-famine” cycle, where fluctuations in food availability correspond to alternating periods of food restriction and opportunities for binge eating, but research on this topic is limited. To clarify the relationship between food availability and binge eating in the context of FI, this study examined the association between mom ...

Abstract:
... Color is the first attribute that influences the acceptance of foods as they become more attractive to consumers when they are more intense and uniform. In recent years, the interest of producers and consumers in purchasing products containing natural ingredients have constantly increased. Natural pigments are commonly extracted from fruits and vegetables, and have been proven to provide health be ...

Abstract:
... Chinese government is vigorously promoting toilet renovation in rural areas to reduce the risk of human feces exposure, which would cause infectious diseases, especially antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and pathogens. However, the distribution of ARGs in human feces from different regions of China remained ill-defined. It is not yet known how the survival of ARGs after toilet treatment is associ ...
... Parasitic diseases are a major health problem in many developing countries. The consumption of contaminated fresh vegetables can play a crucial epidemiological role in the transmission of parasitic foodborne diseases including ascariasis and giardiasis. This review explored the occurrence of the pathogenic parasites Ascaris and Giardia on vegetables collected from markets, street vendors, grocerie ...

Abstract:
... Mangroves are prone to receive pollutants and act as a sink for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, knowledge of the human health risk of ARGs and its influencing factors in mangrove ecosystems is limited, particularly at large scales. Here, we applied a high-throughput sequencing technique combined with an ARG risk assessment framework to investigate the profiles of ARGs and their public ...

Abstract:
... The detection of infectious SARS-CoV-2 in food and food packaging associated with the cold chain has raised concerns about the possible transmission pathway of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in foods transported through cold-chain logistics and the need for novel decontamination strategies. In this study, the effect of electron beam (E-beam) irradiation on the inactiv ...
... This review deals with the development of outdoor closed photobioreactors and their improved performance achieved between the end of the second and the beginning of the third millennium. The evolution of closed photobioreactors operating outdoors, under intensive conditions, is the main objective of this review. The cultivation of photoautotrophic microorganisms for the production of green product ...
... Irrigation is promoted as a critical strategy for rural welfare, yet fundamental questions prevail on the linkages between water, equity and inequality. Applying mixed-methods, this study investigates the impact pathways whereby water inequities are associated with socioeconomic inequalities within two Tanzanian smallholder irrigation schemes. According to irrigators’ perceptions, greater water eq ...
... The preparation of hazard zone plans is a key component in flood risk management. Primarily, flood hazards are made visible and, therefore, the information is available to reduce existing risks and avoid new risks. Of particular importance in the planning process are the consideration of different intensities as well as the effect of flood plains on the runoff. In addition to the designation of ha ...
... The occurrence of rockburst in coal mines is closely related to the stress in coal and rock mass. Through hydraulic fracturing measurements in roof, the three-dimensional stress in roof before and after hydraulic fracturing as well as during working face advancing was monitored, and the effect of hydraulic fracturing in roof on controlling rockburst was studied. The test results show that (1) afte ...
... Driverless transport systems (DTS) or automated guided vehicles (AGV) have been part of intralogistics for over six decades. The uniform and structured environment conditions in industrial halls provided the ideal conditions for simple automation, such as in goods transport. Initially, implementing simply-designed safety devices, e.g., bumpers, could reduce risk to an acceptable level. However, th ...
... Tropical cyclones (TCs) are natural threats that cause huge damage in coastal regions and adjacent areas. Prior indication of TC intensity can prevent this loss. Hence, the intensity estimation of TC became an important task to reduce the risk. This paper proposes features fusion and classification techniques using infrared satellite images for intensity estimation. Features of TC images are extra ...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of this review is to summarize the recent (past 5 years) available evidence regarding the association between plant-based diets on cancer risk from clinical trials and observational studies. Biological mechanisms and gaps in the current literature will also be discussed. RECENT FINDINGS: There is a lack of intervention studies but there are abundant observational stu ...
... Sunset yellow (SUN) is one of the popular synthetical food colorants which are a member of the class azo dyes and in food industries greatly used. An excess consumption of SUN can cause to behavioral symptoms including of hyperactivity, inattentiveness, cancer, and some further health effects. Hence, it is important to detect this food colorant effectively to reduce risk. Herein, an innovative liq ...

This study evaluates and compares three machine learning models: K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Random Forest (RF) and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) for landslide susceptibility mapping for part of areas in Rangamati District, Bangladesh. The performance of these methods has been assessed by employing statistical methods such as the area under the curve (AUC) for success rate (SR) and prediction ...

... Multi-temporal high spatial resolution earth observation makes it possible to detect complex urban land surface changes, which is a significant and challenging task in remote sensing communities. Previous works mainly focus on binary change detection (BCD) based on modern technologies, e.g., deep fully convolutional network (FCN), whereas the deep network architecture for semantic change detection ...

Abstract:
... Metal resources are unevenly distributed throughout the globe but are crucial for the global economy. Many economies are highly dependent and vulnerable to material supply from other parts of the world. This situation can be alleviated by recycling, as regions devoided of important reserves exploit their own urban mine. In this study, we explored an increased domestic recycling scenario utilizing ...

Abstract:
... Assembly, Integration, and Verification/Testing (AIV or AIT) is a standardized guideline for projects to ensure consistency throughout spacecraft development phases. The goal of establishing such a guideline is to assist in planning and executing a successful mission. While AIV campaigns can help reduce risk, they can also take years to complete and be prohibitively costly for smaller new space pr ...

... The assessment of long-range transport potential (LRTP) is enshrined in several frameworks for chemical regulation such as the Stockholm Convention. Screening for LRTP is commonly done with the OECD Pov and LRTP Screening Tool employing two metrics, characteristic travel distance (CTD) and transfer efficiency (TE). Here we introduce a set of three alternative metrics and implement them in the Tool ...

Abstract:
... Considering its preventive character and the influence it has on the spatial distribution and intensity of uses, spatial planning is gaining an increasingly important role in natural hazard management. In terms of anticipatory planning, land use adapted to the natural forces with the aim of reducing the risk should be promoted. The approach of a risk-adjusted spatial planning is rather innovated, ...
