In 2010, a landslide in Bududa, Eastern Uganda, killed about 350 people and nearly 1000 affected households were resettled in Kiryandongo, Western Uganda. A cross-sectional survey assessed household food insecurity and diet diversity among 1078 affected and controls. In Bududa, the affected had a lower adjusted mean score of food insecurity than controls - 9·2 (se 0·4) v. 12·3 (se 0·4) (P<0·01)...

The relationship between weather and influenza and pneumonia mortality was examined retrospectively using daily data from 1980 to 2009 in Auckland, New Zealand, a humid, subtropical location. Mortality events, defined when mortality exceeded 0·95 standard deviation above the mean, followed periods of anomalously cold air (ta.m. = -4·1, P < 0·01; tp.m. = -4·2, P < 0·01) and/or anomalously dry ai...

In the present study, twenty-four Duroc × Landrance × Yorkshire (initial body weight (BW) of 21·82 (sem 2·06) kg) cross-bred pigs were used to determine whether dietary vitamin D supplementation could confer protection against viral infections through the retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) signalling pathway in pigs. Experimental treatments were arranged in a 2 × 2 factorial manner with the...

Taste is expected to represent a food's nutrient content. The objective was to investigate whether taste acts as nutrient-sensor, within the context of the current diet, which is high in processed foods. Intensities of the five basic tastes of fifty commonly consumed foods were rated by nineteen subjects (aged 21·0 (SD 1·7) years, BMI 21·5 (SD 2·0) kg/m(2)). Linear regression was used to test a...

This work deals with the H1 condition numbers and the distribution of the ~ N;Msingular values of the preconditioned operators f~ 1 N;M WN;M ÂN;Mg. ÂN;M is the matrix representation of the Legendre Spectral Collocation discretization of the elliptic operator A de ned by Au := u + a1ux + a2uy + a0u in (the unit square) with boundary conditions: u = 0 on 0; @u @ A = u on 1. ~ N;M is the sti ness ...

were analysed for wet and dry weight, total lipid, total, free and esterified cholesterol, total carboxyl ester, lipid phosphorus and triglyceride. The translocated testes decreased in wet and dry weight (P<0\m=.\001) and total lipid content (P< 0\m=.\001)6 days after surgery. Lipid concentration increased (P<0\m=.\01)in translocated testes, as did concentrations of total cholesterol (P<0\m=.\0...

We examine the potential of the COMPASS experiment at CERN to study color transparency via exclusive coherent vector meson production in hard muon-nucleus scattering. It is demonstrated that COMPASS has high sensitivity to test this important prediction of perturbative QCD.

OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to explore the associations between food away-from-home (FAFH) consumption and body weight outcomes among Chinese adults. DESIGN FAFH was defined as food prepared at restaurants and the percentage of energy from FAFH was calculated. Measured BMI and waist circumference (WC) were used as body weight outcomes. Quantile regression models for BMI and WC were perf...
