Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic and humanitarian challenges such as war conflict, climate changes, economic crises bring unexpected challenges, food insecurity. Especially for developing countries, this is a double crisis, poverty pandemic. This situation needs an alternative network (AFN), which can improve the local sources to fulfill demand. hubs’ (LFHs) development AFN that considers produce...

Alternative food networks (AFNs) are an alternative to the conventional system that aim for environmental and social sustainability from production consumption. While previous research has examined individual types of AFNs, there is no survey giving a full overview different AFNs in Japan. Therefore, we fifty-six cases categorized them according their characteristics. Firstly, using Multi-actor...

The composition, sizes and shapes of particles in the clouds Venus have previously been studied with a variety situ remote sensor measurements. A number major questions remain unresolved, however, motivating development an exploratory mission that will drop small probe, instrumented single-particle autofluorescence nephelometer (AFN), into Venus’s atmosphere. AFN is specifically designed to add...

During infection and inflammation, bacterial and inflammatory proteases break down extracellular matrices into macromolecular fragments. Fibronectin fragments are associated with disease severity in arthritis and periodontitis. The mechanisms by which these fragments contribute to disease pathogenesis are unclear. One likely mechanism is that fibronectin fragments induce apoptosis of resident c...

other professionals to achieve our common goal. Mapping vocational courses that are available to the target workforce, which take the form of on-the-job training (distance learning, e-learning or intensive fast-track training) supplied by employers or run independently, is also a priority. Nutritional content must be gauged to ensure standards are consistently being met in terms of comparabilit...

In this article, an optoelectronic method, technique and technology for obtaining a stabilized electric field using external, natural renewable sources of various types has been developed. The proposed device operates on the basis anomalous photovoltaic effect (AFN effect) where heat human body is converted into field. It shown that potential it possible to develop individual, autonomously oper...

Let X denote a compact set in the complex plane ℂ and zn≔{zn,j}j=0n be family of points that lie on X. Then norm ‖Azn‖ operator Azn maps Banach space C(X) to Πn polynomials degree ≤n, defined by Aznf=pn, where pn∈Πn is polynomial interpolates f∈C(X) at zn, called Lebesgue constant zn. While bulk this paper study Lagrange interpolation Fejér zn∗≔{zn,j∗}j=0n, their proper adjustment, an open arc ...
