The main aim of the current study was to examine and compare nutritional quality degree naturalness chocolate cereal bars. Our analysis relied on a dataset (n = 100) most consumed bars in Germany 2019. Nutri-Score Food Naturalness Index were calculated measure bars, respectively. Cereal nutritionally better slightly more natural, but had longer ingredient lists, as compared Nutritional food onl...

Purpose/Objectives Children do not consume the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables (FV). Salad bars in schools increase FV consumption in children, but their effect may be strengthened by modifying their placement and reinforcing their impact by using appropriate health promoting practices. The objective of the study was to determine associations between format and placement of salad ba...

Any connection between central activity and the large-scale dynamics of disk galaxies requires an efficient mechanism to remove angular momentum from the orbiting material. The only viable means of achieving inflow from kiloparsec scales is through gravitational stresses created by bars and/or mergers. The inflow of gas in bars today appears to stall at a radius of few hundred parsec, however, ...

CONTEXT This large outbreak of foodborne disease highlights the challenge of investigating outbreaks caused by intentional contamination and demonstrates the vulnerability of self-service foods to intentional contamination. OBJECTIVE To investigate a large community outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium infections. DESIGN Epidemiologic investigation of patients with Salmonella gastroenteritis ...

OBJECTIVE This study assessed the impact of changes in school food policy on student lunch consumption in middle schools. METHODS Two years of lunch food records were collected from students at three middle schools in the Houston, Texas area. During the first year, no changes occurred in the school food environment. After that school year was completed, chips and dessert foods were removed fr...

Snacking between meals provides an important contribution to dietary intake of key nutrients. There is a need for snack bars that are nutrient dense, have a low glycemic load and increase feelings of fullness and satiety. Over the last three years a branded “Nothing Else” dates and almonds life saver snack bar, without preservatives or additives, has been developed in partnership with a food ma...

BACKGROUND Environmental, social and individual factors influence eating patterns, which in turn affect the risk of many chronic diseases. This study aimed to estimate associations between environmental factors and the consumption of fruit and vegetables among adults in a Brazilian urban context. METHODS Data from the surveillance system for risk factors for chronic diseases (VIGITEL) of Braz...

For several years, the Laser Program at LLNL has been designing and building a variety of specialized compact laser systems 1. They offer extremely high energy densities for their size and are primarily used in medical and military applications where a high premium is placed on both reliability and compactness. These systems are based upon a 2 cm-x-2 em liquid cooled wafer (Fig. 1) that support...

The dynamical stability and evolution of disc galaxies with different disc thickness as well as various fraction and concentration of stellar counter-rotation is investigated with self-consistent numerical simulations. In particular, systems of nested, counter-rotating, stable bars are presented. As for the direct case, the nuclear secondary bar rotates faster than the primary bar. Contrary to ...

According to general relativity any change in the gravitational field of a compact gravitating system like neutron star or black hole, will produce a ripple on the spacetime which will propagate with the speed of light. This is a gravitational wave. Although gravitational waves have been predicted from the very early days of general relativity they have not yet been detected directly. Neverthel...
