Abstract The objective was to evaluate the influence of individual and contextual determinants on infant’s consumption fruits vegetables (FV), ultra-processed foods (UPF). data obtained from Survey Prevalence Breastfeeding in Brazilian Municipalities, 2008. A representative sample 14,326 infants 6-11.9 months old, seventy-five municipalities São Paulo state evaluated. FV UPF analyzed using Pois...

Two formats for specifying power intent are currently in wide use in the industry today and as designers continue to strive for more power efficient designs new issues arise that need new solutions to improve on today’s standards. This panel will discuss areas for improving today’s power formats and the direction that these formats need to move, in order to provide the most efficient flows for ...

Trees influence the amount of solar UV radiation that reaches pedestrians. A three-dimensional model was developed to predict the ultraviolet-B (UV-B) irradiance fields in open-tree canopies where the spacing between trees is equal to or greater than the width of individual tree crowns. The model predicted the relative irradiance (fraction of above-canopy irradiance) under both sunlit and shade...

Non-sense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a mechanism of translation-dependent mRNA surveillance in eukaryotes: it degrades mRNAs with premature termination codons (PTCs) and contributes to cellular homeostasis by downregulating a number of physiologically important mRNAs. In the NMD pathway, Upf proteins, a set of conserved factors of which Upf1 is the central regulator, recruit decay enzymes to ...

Nowadays modified textiles, especially UV-protective, antibacterial and antimicrobial ones, have become the focus of great interest. In this study, several new UV absorbers, bis(indolyl)methane derivatives, were synthesized and grafted onto polyvinyl alcohol polymer (PVA). Their application properties on cotton-based textile materials were determined; the UV protection factor values of the modi...
