The smart counter can detect countertop cooking actions. We assume that all food ingredients are stored in RFID-tagged containers. Using the weight change of each container, we can inference how a user mixes food ingredients and the nutrition information of the resulting mixtures. SMART STOVE The smart stove embedded with a load cell and a RFID reader to detect the weight of containers placed o...

The four ingredients of ORS (glucose, sodium chloride, potassium chloride and trisodium citrate) in the concentrations described in the document entitled “Oral Rehydration Salts: a new reduced osmolarity formulation” yield an effective solution for rehydration and for the prevention of dehydration. The addition of other ingredients, such as other minerals (especially zinc) or vitamins, has not ...

Deep inference deductive systems for classical logic provide exponentially shorter proofs than the sequent calculus systems, however with the cost of higher nondeterminism and larger search space in proof search. We report on our ongoing work on proof search with deep inference deductive systems. We present systems for classical logic where nondeterminism in proof search is reduced by constrain...

Marine algae have recently emerged as a new exciting source of biofuel. Our objective was to determine effect of supplemental defatted algal biomass from biofuel production on biochemical indicators of protein metabolism in plasma of weanling pigs. A total of 27 weanling pigs (BW = 10.69 ± 0.22 kg) were divided into 3 groups (n = 9/group), and fed a corn-soybean meal basal diet (BD), the BD plu...

This study evaluated live performance, carcass, abdominal fat and commercial cuts yields of broilers fed corn-soybean meal diets with increasing digestible valine to lysine levels from 21 to 42 days of age. One thousand five hundred and seventy-five Cobb vs Cobb 500 male broilers were raised with the same commercial mash feed until 21 days of age. Seven treatments with 9 replications of 25 bird...

This paper argues that a desirable health reform plan should accept some features that the Obama and McCain plans have in common, and combine other features from each of the plans. Useful combinations include the presence of both public and private options and a system of credits that are more generous for lower-income households (Obama) and creation of a system of public subsidies that is ince...

The history of cosmetics develops in parallel to the history of man, associated with fishing, hunting, and superstition in the beginning, and later with medicine and pharmacy. Over the ages, together with human progress, cosmetics have changed continuously and nowadays the cosmetic market is global and highly competitive, where terms such as quality, efficacy and safety are essential. Consumers...

OBJECTIVE To create a general framework for the simulation of intakes from mandatory or voluntary fortification, which will make outcomes of simulation studies more comparable and give insight on uncertainties. DESIGN A general framework was developed based on methods used in already published case studies of mandatory fortification. The framework was extended to be suitable for the simulatio...
