BACKGROUND Fifty percent of American Indians (AIs) develop diabetes by age 55 y. Whether processed meat is associated with the risk of diabetes in AIs, a rural population with a high intake of processed meat (eg, canned meats in general, referred to as "spam") and a high rate of diabetes, is unknown. OBJECTIVE We examined the associations of usual intake of processed meat with incident diabet...

Edible coatings can improve the quality of fresh, frozen, and processed meat, poultry, and seafood products by retarding moisture loss, reducing lipid oxidation and discoloration, enhancing product appearance in retail packages by eliminating dripping, sealing in volatile flavors, functioning as carriers of food additives such as antimicrobial and antioxidant agents, and reducing oil uptake by ...

This systematic review aimed to investigate the association of fish and sea fish dietary patterns (FishDiet) and meat or processed meat dietary patterns (MeatDiet) with bone mineral density (BMD) and/or risk of fractures (RF). This review includes 37 studies with a total of 432,924 subjects. The results suggest that MeatDiet and FishDiet did not affect BMD or RF in 48.2% of the subjects with Me...

Advances in statistical learning theory leave us with many possible designs of learning machines. But which of them are implemented by brains, metabolic and genetic networks, and other biological information processors? We analyze how abstract Bayesian learners would perform on different data and discuss possible experiments that can determine which learning–theoretic computation is performed b...

Light-emitting dendrimers are a new distinct class of material for OLEDs. Dendrimers consist of a light-emitting core, dendrons and surface groups. Dendrimers are designed for solution coating and have a number of advantages over conjugated polymers. We report our recent results for solution processed green dendrimer OLEDs. The OLEDs were fabricated by spin-coating a blend of first generation d...
