Cranioencephalic traumatism (TBI) is a common situation in trauma hospitals and has become responsible for high rates of mortality worldwide. When the victim TBI affected by injuries to skullcap with need grafting, problems regarding availability suitable affordable materials eventually happen. In this study, 3D structure Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) that mimics cranial bone morphology use crani...

Increasing healthy food options in public venues, including recreational facilities, is a health priority. The purpose of this study was to describe the public recreation food environment in British Columbia, Canada using a sequential explanatory mixed methods design. Facility audits assessed policy, programs, vending, concessions, fundraising, staff meetings and events. Focus groups addressed ...

Some 350 mold species produce a large range of secondary metabolites (over 300, of which ~30 are toxic) [Fremy et al., 2009] and represent a potential danger for animal and human health and cause significant losses for the cereals industry [Le Bars et al., 1996]. The effects of mold are well illustrated by decreases in crop and livestock yields, public health problems, or write-offs on the inte...

The flavonol quercetin, is one of the major flavonoids found in edible plants. The bioavailability of quercetin in humans may be influenced by the food matrix in which it is consumed as well as by its chemical and physical form. The objective of the present study was to investigate the biokinetics of quercetin from quercetin-enriched cereal bars and quercetin powder-filled hard capsules. In a r...

UNLABELLED Calcium is an important structural component of the skeletal system. Although an adequate intake of calcium helps to maintain bone health and reduce the risk of osteoporosis, many women do not meet recommended daily intakes of calcium. Previous interventions studies designed to increase dietary intake of women have utilized primarily dairy sources of calcium or supplements. However, ...

Objective In Belgium, smoke-free legislation was implemented in different phases: in public places and most workplaces in January 2006, in restaurants in January 2007, and in bars serving food in January 2010. We investigated the impact of these smoking bans on the incidence of preterm delivery and mortality of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Flanders. The stepwise implementation of smoke-...

We theoretically demonstrate the generation and detection of broadband multi-channel Orbital Angular Momentum(OAM) by a micrometer-scale meta-reflectarray. The meta-reflectarray composed of patterned silicon bars on a silver ground plane can be designed to realize phase modulation and work as chip-level OAM devices. Compared to traditional methods of OAM generation and detection, our approach s...
