Introduction Small quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) have been designed to prevent undernutrition, including stunting, wasting and micronutrient deficiencies [1]. A daily 20 g ration of SQ-LNS provides about 110–120 kcal along with protein, essential fatty acids and 22 micronutrients. Studies assessing the impact of SQ-LNS and medium-quantity LNS (MQ-LNS; at ~50 g or ~250-280 k...

Plant isoprenoids represent a large group of compounds with a wide range of physiological functions. In the cytosol, isoprenoids are synthesized via the classical acetate/mevalonate pathway. In this pathway, farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) occupies a central position, from which isoprene units are dispatched to the different classes of isoprenoids, with sterols as the major end products. The present...

Sulfoquinovose (SQ; 6-deoxy-6-sulfoglucose) is the polar head group of the plant sulfolipid SQ-diacylglycerol, and SQ comprises a major proportion of the organosulfur in nature, where it is degraded by bacteria. A first degradation pathway for SQ has been demonstrated recently, a "sulfoglycolytic" pathway, in addition to the classical glycolytic (Embden-Meyerhof) pathway in Escherichia coli K-1...

As semiconductor technologies have continued to scale according to Moore’s Law, complexity, power consumption, and energy dissipation have become first-order considerations in microprocessor design. In processors that issue instructions out-of-order, store-load forwarding is a source of significant complexity and energy dissipation. To decrease the complexity and improve the energy efficiency o...

Previous research has developed evaluation measurement for electronic service quality (e-SQ) but has ignored the interdependence perspective of the criteria and sub-criteria for e-SQ evaluation. Therefore, this study aims to propose a hybrid analytic network process (ANP) model as an improved method to evaluate multiple-criteria and sub-criteria of e-SQ with the interdependence perspective. Thi...
