BACKGROUND A carbon footprint is the sum of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGEs) associated with food production, processing, transporting, and retailing. OBJECTIVE We examined the relation between the energy and nutrient content of foods and associated GHGEs as expressed as g CO2 equivalents. DESIGN GHGE values, which were calculated and provided by a French supermarket chain, were merged with...

Surveys over the past 10 years have shown that Australians are increasingly consuming more plant-based vegetarian meals. Many studies demonstrate the health benefits of vegetarian diets. As with any type of eating plan, vegetarian diets must be well planned to ensure nutritional needs are being met. This clinical focus project shows that well planned vegetarian diets can meet almost all the nut...

EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS Early feeding by means of an intragastric milk drip has been practised in a group of 425 patients admitted to a regional hospital with bleeding peptic ulcers. A low overall mortality of 4.9 % was achieved even though more than a quarter of the patients treated were more than 60 years old. The fallacies in comparing mortalities from gastrointestinal bleeding are discussed and ...

Developing countries have embarked on the promotion of “ICT access for all” through subsidized Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), especially in underserviced areas of such countries. The main aim of the “ICT access for all” is to extend the communication services to the large areas of underserviced regions through subsidized communication services. In some instances, subsidies m...

If uniform coding (Gödelization) of potentially infinite sequences of numbers can be performed in PSPACEF, then PSPACE = EXPTIME 6= EXPSPACE = 2-EXPTIME, and, for all p, we have p−EXPSPACE = p+1-EXPTIME; if it can be performed in LINSPACEF, we also have LINSPACE = DTIME(2); the proof fails, when relativized to oracle-TM’s. A by-product of this research is that PTIMEF is not closed under number-...

OBJECTIVES 1) Explore the availability and accessibility of fast food energy and nutrient information post-NSW menu labelling legislation in states with and without menu labelling legislation. 2) Determine whether availability and accessibility differed compared with pre-menu labelling legislation in NSW. METHODS We visited 210 outlets of the five largest fast food chains in five Australian s...
