BACKGROUND Malnutrition in infants during weaning has been attributed to inappropriate complementary feeding practices and it underlies more than one-third of child mortality in Nigeria. Thus, addressing the influence of complementary feeding practice on nutritional status may be an important approach to reducing the burden of child malnutrition. This cross-sectional study investigated the asso...

The organic sector is one of the fastest growing food markets in the developed world, with a significant number of consumers continuing to prioritise these products that are perceived to be healthier and more sustainably sourced. The body of existing research has identified that very few consumers are dedicated organic food buyers hence most are purchasing it only some of the time. The most com...

We conjecture that systematic trends in errors can help detect patterns in restaurant prices. For example, if errors correlate with geography, we may identify regions with higheror lower-than-expected prices. To test this for New York, we retrained our price range predictor using the entirety of New York as the test set, Philadelphia as the dev set, and the remaining cities as training data. We...

Summary We introduce cgHeliParm, a python program that provides the conformational analysis of Martini-based coarse-grained double strand DNA molecules. The software calculates the helical parameters such as base, base pair and base pair step parameters. cgHeliParm can be used for the analysis of coarse grain Martini molecular dynamics trajectories without transformation into atomistic models. ...

SUMMARY CD-HIT is a widely used program for clustering biological sequences to reduce sequence redundancy and improve the performance of other sequence analyses. In response to the rapid increase in the amount of sequencing data produced by the next-generation sequencing technologies, we have developed a new CD-HIT program accelerated with a novel parallelization strategy and some other techniq...

StratoSIP (“SIP at a very high level”) is a domainspecific language for programming SIP applications. This manual documents Version 1.0 of StratoSIP. The runtime environment for a StratoSIP program is a SIP Servlet container [6]. StratoSIP is compiled into ECharts for SIP Servlets (E4SS) [3]; E4SS is, in turn, compiled into Java. StratoSIP is designed to enable all application programmers, even...

Suboptimal complementary feeding practices contribute to a rapid increase in the prevalence of stunting in young children from age 6 months. The design of effective programmes to improve infant and young child feeding requires a sound understanding of the local situation and a systematic process for prioritizing interventions, integrating them into existing delivery platforms and monitoring the...
