This research validates a computerized dietary selection task (Food-Linked Virtual Response or FLVR) for use in studies of food consumption. In two studies, FLVR task responses were compared with measures of health consciousness, mood, body mass index, personality, cognitive restraint toward food, and actual food selections from a buffet table. The FLVR task was associated with variables which ...

This article uses triglobal stability analysis to address the question of shock-buffet unsteadiness, and associated modal dominance, on infinite wings at high Reynolds number, expanding upon recent biglobal work, aspiring elucidate flow phenomenon's origin characteristics. Infinite are modelled by extruding an aerofoil finite aspect ratios imposing a periodic boundary condition without assumpti...

High performance aircraft are, by their very nature, often required to undergo manoeuvres involving high angles of attack. Under these conditions unsteady vortices emanating from the wing and the fuselage will impinge on the twin fins (required for directional stability) causing excessive buffet loads, in some circumstances, to be applied to the aircraft. These loads result in oscillatory stres...

All you can drink” specials are forbidden by law in several places. Authorities claim that establishments tend to offer low quality drinks when they use this type of promotion. In this paper, I elaborate a model to determine whether a monopolist produces higher or lower quality goods when using buffet pricing (all you can drink) instead of a two-part tariff. I find that the more profitable stra...

Besides its original purpose of reducing wave drag at transonic speed it has been shown that shock control bumps (SCB) can additionally be used for buffet alleviation. Considering 3-D-SCBs as a novel sort of vortex generators these bumps introduce, when carefully designed, streamwise vorticity into the flow and thereby prevent the boundary layer (BL) from early separation. The current paper pre...

Thirteen physically active, eumenorrheic, normal-weight (BMI < 25 kg/m2) females, aged 18-30 years, completed 4 experimental conditions, with the order based on a Latin Square Design: (a). CHO/Ex: moderate-intensity exercise (65% VO2peak) with a net energy cost of approximately 500 kcals, during which time the subject consumed a carbohydrate beverage (45 g CHO) at specific time intervals; (b). ...

the main purpose of this study was to examine the citation patterns of discussion sections employed by local and international article writers in esp and egp subdisciplines of applied linguistics. eighty article discussion sections were selected from well-established local and international journals in the field of applied linguistics, and they were sorted according to thompson and tribble’s (2...

Reaction of thionyl chloride with 2-acetyl-1- benzenesulfonylpyrrole semicarbazone (6 c) gave 4 - (1- benzenesulfonyl-2 - pyrrolyl) - 1, 2, 3 -thiadiazole (lc). Selenium dioxide oxidation of 2-acetylpyrazine semicarbazone (10) in acetic acid afforded 4- (2-pyrazinyl) - 1, 2, 3- selenadiazole (4). Reaction of thionyl chloride with compound 10 gave 4- (2-pyrazinyl) - 1, 2, 3- thiadiazole (3)....
