In this article the science relied on to establish the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) specifically for calcium was examined. The latest dietary recommendations for the essential nutrients significant with respect to their roles in bone metabolism and health were reported in the Dietary Reference Intakes for Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Vitamin D, and Fluoride (1997) (NIM, 1997). For calcium...

The Caltrans Division of Research and Innovation (DRI) receives and evaluates numerous research problem statements for funding every year. DRI conducts Preliminary Investigations on these problem statements to better scope and prioritize the proposed research in light of existing credible work on the topics nationally and internationally. Online and print sources for Preliminary Investigations ...

We analyzed nutritional habits of 22 stone formers with special regard to oxalate content as one of the main nutritional lithogenic factors associated with kidney stones. Daily dietary oxalate intake was 354 +/- 261 mg and 406 +/- 265 mg in men and women respectively. These values were much higher than those found by other researches. The main sources of oxalate in diets were regular tea and co...

The work described here supports the Office of Naval Research Departmental Research Initiative (DRI) for research on the “Impact of Typhoons on the Western Pacific Ocean” (ITOP). The theme of the DRI is to better characterize and predict the ocean boundary layer (OBL) and its impact on typhoon (hurricane) evolution. This is one component of developing improved pre­ diction models for the couple...

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (CCS) in iron steel production offers significant potential for CO2 emission reduction may even result carbon-negative steel. With a strong ambition to reach net-zero emissions, some countries, such as Sweden, have recently proposed measures incentivise bioenergy CCS (BECCS), which opens window of opportunities enable the One main applications this rout...

Direct reduction of iron ore (DRI) is gaining an increased attention due to the growing need decarbonize industrial processes. The current DRI processes are performed using reformed natural gas, which results in CO 2 emission, although it less than carbothermic blast furnace. Carbon‐free may be realized through utilization green H as a reducing agent, place gas. Herein, effects various gas mixt...

This article presents a new graphical tool for direct reduction shaft processes inspired by the Rist diagram developed blast furnaces. The represents gas flows using vectors, with specific consumption and oxidation as components to indicate gas/iron ratios. Key features include consideration of chemical composition vector directions, easy visual representation mixtures, well carburization rates...

Introduction: Child-care centers (CCCs) typically offer lunch to preschool children. The nutritional composition of lunches served in remote rural area CCCs was compared with 40% the recommended Thai dietary reference intake (DRI) for children aged 3 5 years. Methods: Nine Chiang Dow district, Mai Province, Thailand, were selected study. Lunch content evaluated by weighing each food item on two...
